Grimoire
A grimoire (/ɡrɪmˈwɑːr/ grim-WAR) is a textbook of magic, typically including instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets; how to perform magical spells; charms and divination; and how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits, and demons. In many cases, the books themselves are believed to be imbued with magical powers, though in many cultures, other sacred texts that are not grimoires (such as the Bible) have been believed to have supernatural properties intrinsically. In this manner while all books on magic could be thought of as grimoires, not all magical books should.
While the term grimoire is originally European and many Europeans throughout history, particularly ceremonial magicians and cunning folk, have made use of grimoires, the historian Owen Davies noted that similar books can be found all across the world, ranging from Jamaica to Sumatra. He also noted that the first grimoires could be found in Europe and the Ancient Near East.

Grimoire
by: Breathing ProcessStemming from circles of valiant way the seed will ascend to lustrate this day.
Baring the fruits of sedition decay the seed will ascend to lustrate this day.
The pounds of flesh justice shall weigh.
Purging their sins to lustrate this day in sacrifice so it is written and so it shall be boiling waters arise from the sea.
Crimson characters of the divine, they're sacred shan't be spoken.
To see a god cry her tears will salt the earth nourish and purify.
As the runes are placed the chorus shall be sung with virility and our souls shall sing out on the land war.
Our souls shall reign crass and stern upon men and gods alike.
You're damned diseased and shamed within decaying form.
I am the barer of rebirth to all those who conform.
Revere the passages of the grimoire.
The monuments have their mighty blood to shed.
Revel the passages of the grimoire.
The chimes of Armageddon have begun extol the rituals path within decaying form.
Paid in sacrifice.
So it is written and so it shall be boreal creatures descend to the sea.
What a beautiful day to see a god cry her tears shall salt the earth nourish and purify.
