What is Grimoire?

(European) (gramarye, ‘”magic and enchantment’) a magician’s handbook containing collections of magic lore, traditions, spells, rituals, secrets of Kabbalah, alchemy, astrology, secret knowledge for making powerful talismans, and instructions for summoning etheric world entities and performing many psychic skills. Syn. Black Book, Book of Shadows [June Bletzer, Ph.D.]

A Grimoire is also a place to ground ideas, inspirations, creations, elements, symbolism and spiritual beings that you encounter or resonate within your discovery processes. 

A Grimoire can also be where you document your spiritual beliefs and intentions. A Grimoire is the sacred space of your inner world. 

Grimoire pronunciation – (Grim – Wahr)

What is your OISI Grimoire? 

Your Open Inward Self Illumination Grimoire is your sacred documentation of your ongoing esoteric OISI journey through alchemy experiences, self-discoveries, magical creations and the resulting transformation enchantments. 

As of this day, your OISI Grimoire is a compendium of your private emotional, intellectual and spiritual journey into mystical, magical knowledge. 

• Your OISI Grimoire is sacred and should be hidden from others except when it feels appropriate with your fellow OISI sisters. 
• Your OISI Grimoire is not meant to be shared outside of OISI.
• Your OISI Grimoire won’t always be perfect. You will be tempted to tear pages out, but don’t give in to ego, and don’t let ego stop you from being messy because being messy is about being on the edge of your evolution.
