The pages of the grimoire Grainne received from Gloria are written in a strange script, based on the Early Celtic/Pre-Proto-Q-Celtic variety, altered to be able to flow more readily and written more easily.

Anything she has done previous to receiving this grimoire is written down in a loose bound selection of pages she had been making into a home grown grimoire.

Part 1

[neverarightstep]

An old book. It's age shown in the coloring of the languages and the archaic, Erosian dialect. The cover itself, made of soft, well-worked leather, looks as good as new. With it, the maid also give Grainne a small key book to help her translate it.

The first few chapters talk much about Spirit and recommends meditation exercises, chants, and other practices that are all about becoming in tune with oneself and ones place in the world.

Some excerpts from the book are as follows:

Spirit binds, spirit holds.

In us is everything. Ishdra's fiery passion, Ordrell's endless patience, Ganok's flowing calm.... We are tied and to the gods we give our thanks. Praise be to Koriim and his wisdom.

Can spirit ever be truly 'mastered'. It is obvious when we gain control of the other elements. However, I submit that spirit is never truly mastered. Instead we become intensely aware of ourselves and the world around us. We recognize when to be still and when we change. Control comes not from rigid adherence to who we were but acceptance of the changes yet to come, that we will strive to understand.

And finally -

I am the master of my own heart.

There are many references a well to Koriim, the importance of loving in all ways, and the reincarnation cycle on Eros.
