No. Traditionally, Magicians aren't witches. Magicians, Sorcerers, etc., you get my point? Shoot, I shouldn't be trying to explain this before I go to bed. Apparently they made fun of witches because you couldn't see their magic. Or some such. I dunno. Give me a time machine. Or give me til morning to sleep and then go through my stuff and find what I'm looking for.
Blah. It's part of "The Old Laws"... its in my BOS. 'Remember the Art is the secret of the Gods and may only be used in earnest and never for show or vainglory. Magicians and Christians may taunt us, saying, "You have no power. Do magic before our eyes. Then only will we believe,"' Magicians and witches didn't get along, me guesses.
Oh. Grimoires are kinda like BOS's, but in the case they're a collection of instructions of how to divine, gain magical powers, cast spells, invoke demons and angels, make elixirs, and make talismans, etc. Basically magic books, whatever you want to call them. It's intriguing.
Let me read this in the morning to see if it made sense at all.

whiporwill-o Sanguina Cruenta So "grimoire" and "book of shadows" can be used interchangably, then? How are they different? I know some trad witches prefer "grimoire" to "book of shadows". *shrug* i personally have a grimoire, not a bos. to me a grimoire is more of a go-to book for spells, charms, correspondences and what-not, where as a bos is more like a "magickal journal" and i'm horrible at keeping journals sweatdrop
see thats kinda what i meant. but im out of meds. i cant think. haha thanks for that. most the witches around here keep the journal-type thing. i'm not saying i know about all of them, because they obviously do not all live in the kent-sussex area. but the ones i know, call them their bos. and they are older than me, some are getting up there, they definitely arent teens.
but anyways back to what i was originally talking about. the Grimoires... the most famous ones, not the ones individuals make and keep, or w/e, i dunno how to describe it... I think, the Grand Grimoire and the Black Pullet are the two most famous. and if I'm not mistaken, the title of the Black Pullet refers to the golden-egg laying hen. apparently the instructions on how to make a hen lay a golden egg are in that book. Grand Grimoire kinda speaks for itself.
i'm not an expert at the subject. never claimed to be. especially since i haven't been doing research lately, just reading that book. and besides xp its just a thread i'm a person who's missing her neuro-problem-meds right now. i'm not good at explaining stuff right now, ok? the migraines make me confused. let me stick to the book for now, till i get them back.
