Scholarly Inquiry into the Chthonic Traditions

Goetia Journal is a resource for the serious student of grimoiric sorcery, chthonic religion, and the magical traditions of the ancient and medieval world β€” from the Greek Magical Papyri to the Solomonic grimoires, from Siberian shamanism to the crossroads spirits of the early modern period.

The articles here are written with academic rigor and practical interest in equal measure. No fluff. No modern revisionism. Just the texts, their contexts, and the rites they transmit.
