It is an attempt to document various famous grimoires, explain the history behind them (refuting many of the legends surrounding them), discuss the theology contained therein (e.g. raising the question why good angels would be summoned to kill an enemy), and to synthesize many famous grimoires into one system.
The Secret Tradition in Goetia, including the rites and mysteries of Goetic theurgy, sorcery and infernal necromancy.
