Pandora

Capacity for curiosity which initiates change.

This ties in a lot with the story of Psyche and Eros. When Psyche opens "the box" a special salve to sooth/mend/heal a broken heart, even when she was told not to, she is immediately knocked out, unconscious, and Eros rushes to her rescue (after leaving due to her overactive curiosity and having to "see his face") and revives her by a kiss and then they are allowed to spend eternity together.. ❣️

This is the change. 👩‍❤️‍👨

Love Wins... ♥️

THE GRIMOIRE VERUM
by Joseph Peterson

The Grimoire Verum is book of black magick by Joseph Peterson that includes an extensive list of demons. The name translates to the "True Grimoire." The Grimoire Verum makes a point of including invocations for several of the most hated and feared demons in Christendom, including invocations for several of the most hated and feared demons in Christendom, including Lucifer, Astaroth, and Beelzebub. Both French and Italian editions of this book exist. The Italian version claims the title La Clavicola del Re Salomone, connecting it with the Clavicola del Re Salomone, connecting it with the Clavicula Salomonisat least in name, if not in content. There are Italian editions published in 1880 and 1868. The French edition, published in 1817, lists an original publication date of 1517. This version of the book claims to have been written first in the ancient city of Memphis by Alibeck the Egyptian. Notably, Alibeck the Egyptian is also the name given on versions of the Red Dragon Grimoire, although in the case of this book, he is said to have published in Cairo . As no references to the Grimorium Verum predate the nineteenth century, it is highly likely that the French edition subtracted three hundred years from the true publication date in the interest of making the book seem more legitimate and ancient. The Grimoire Verum, the Grand Grimoire, and Le Dragon Rouge are all likely products of an early nineteenth century demand for grimoire-like tomes devoted to expressly black magick. These texts are not completely spurious, however. The Venetian grimoire known as the Secrets of Solomon, written in the seventeenth century and seized by the Inquisition, almost certainly served as one of their primary sources of inspiration.
