Oh thanks, Phee.
And here is the book of spells from OUAT.
So I was right. Both books are very similar. The text is latin and quotes from the Carmina Burana and Archpoet. Probably just filler text they use like they do it with “Snow White and Rose Red” and the “The golden Bird”.
We have alchemistic symbols again and that weard writing. I couldn’t find out what kind of alphabet that is. I’ve already looked under most known European alphabets.
But in general the illustrations are in the style of traditional grimoires and spellbooks. So there mustn’t be a big connection between them. Their are just both dark magic spell books.
