The Ciprian

In Denmark, Grimoires are called "Ciprians" from the magical book of saint Ciprian. These books contain magical formulas to cure evil and illness and to do all sort of things. Times written in blood red ink, other times in cryptic symbols act to mantain secrecy and misticism (Black Diamond Denmark royal library exibition). These books are a testimony of a particular part of popular culture and mysticism that fantasy inherits from. I find sometime interesting going upstream, connecting fantasy tropes and cliches to their origin in folk myth, exoterism, symbolism and religion.
