/>European anti-magic passion died down as the world moved into the age of Enlightenment. Rationalists and scientists nonetheless fervently opposed magic and witchcraft, but grimoires became widely accessible. Many of the works of this time period, like the “Libra de San Cipriano” concentrated on finding treasure; others focused on astrology.
Through the last century, there have been only a small amount of books of magic produced. The Book of Shadows, the Wiccan Grimoire, was published by Gerald Gardner in the 1940s; an additional recognized work is the “Simon Necronomicon,” which is primarily based on a fictional grimoire seen in H.P. Lovecraft’s books. Sufficient people are interested in the Lovecraft’s Necronomicon that it is a popular request at libraries – sadly, the actual book doesn’t exist. Nowadays, most grimoires occur only as guides in video games, fantasy stories, or tv shows.
Though these particular books of magic might not be published very much nowadays, interest in the occult will never die out. If nothing else, the lengthy history of grimoires should tell us that much.
