It also details several spells for winning the lottery, talking to spirits, being loved by a girl, making oneself invisible, etc. The book describes several demons as well as the rituals to summon them in order to make a pact with them. Some editions contain a short text between these two parts, Le Secret Magique, où le Grand Art de pouvoir parler aux Morts (The Magic Secret, or the Grand Art of being able to speaking with the dead), dealing with necromancy. Secrets contains simpler spells and rituals one can employ after having performed the ritual in the first book. The Sanctum Regnum contain instructions for making a pact with the demon, allowing one to command the spirit without the tools required in book one, but at greater risk. The second book is further divided into two parts: the Sanctum Regnum and Secrets, de L'Art Magique du Grand Grimoire ("Secrets, of the magic art of the Grand Grimoire"). The first book contains instructions for summoning a demon and for the construction of tools with which to force the demon to do one's bidding. The 19th century French occultist Éliphas Lévi (author of Dogme et rituel de la haute magie) believed the contemporary edition of Le Dragon Rouge to be counterfeit of the true, older Grand Grimoire. Also known as Le Dragon Rouge or The Red Dragon, this book contains instructions purported to summon Lucifer or Lucifuge Rofocale, for the purpose of forming a Deal with the Devil. Much of material in this grimoire derives from the Key of Solomon and the Lesser Key of Solomon. The "introductory chapter" was authored by someone named Antonio Venitiana del Rabina who supposedly gathered this information from original writings of King Solomon. Owen Davies suggests 1702 is when the first edition may have been created and a Bibliothèque bleue version of the text may have been published in 1750. Different editions date the book to 1521, 1522 or 1421, but it was probably written in the early 19th century. The Grand Grimoire is a black magic grimoire.
