Buy The True Secrets of Black Magic from our esoteric shop
Published in 1910, The True Secrets of Black Magic gathers ancient and composite material, drawn from several layers of grimoires and operative traditions that Legran fixed in print. The work reflects the state of a corpus transmitted and reorganized at the beginning of the 20th century, in a context where occult publishing sought to preserve texts previously circulated in a fragmentary manner.
A collection of complete practices and operations
The reader discovers pacts, structured operations, and detailed rituals, including the Sanctum Regnum, the Pacta Dæmoniorum, and the Great Appellation. The volume also includes evocations, invocations, protection methods, talismans to prepare, and formulas intended to act, defend, send back, bind, or break. The whole offers a dense overview of practices belonging to the tradition known as black magic.
A faithful reproduction of the original text
This edition restores the original text without modification, with careful restoration of symbols, without altering terms or meaning. The work respects the author's intention and the initial structure of the volume. It is a demanding work, belonging to a specific tradition, whose use calls for discernment and responsibility.
Alexandre Legran is not an identifiable author in the strict sense. His name appears only on printed works from the late 19th century and early 20th century, in the field of occult sciences and books of secrets. Based on the available sources, it is an editorial signature used to publish and group practice texts, without being able to link this production to a documented person. This mode of publication was not unusual in occult publishing of the time.
Here, we don’t judge.
No matter where you come from, what you believe in, or what you’re looking for: you belong here. You can be a beginner, curious, a casual practitioner, or a daily witch. What matters is sincere intention.
We believe in all forms of magic.
High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.
We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
We work cleanly.
Each package is carefully prepared by us, here in France. Before shipping, it is purified so it arrives at your home cleansed and positively charged. We strive to use recyclable packaging and reduce our impact as much as possible.
We stay available.
Customer service is us. Not an AI, not a robot, not a call center. If you have a question, a doubt, a problem, you reach us—the same people who select the products, write the descriptions, and prepare the packages.
We stay human-sized.
We are a small passionate team with big ambitions, hands in the herbs, books, and boxes. And we want to keep it that way.
— You speak about it best.
