-'''[[Frederick Santee]]''' was a medical doctor, [[occultist]], and practicing [[warlock]] in rural Pennsylvania. He was the founder and leader of the [[Coven of the Catta]], a coven that practices [[Gardnerian Wicca]]. Frederick started school in fourth grade at age five and graduated from Central High School in Philadelphia (a college-level high school which granted a B.A.) at age 13.
+A '''[[grimoire]]''' is a textbook of [[ritual magic|magic]], typically including instructions on how to create magical objects like [[talisman]]s and [[amulet]]s, how to perform magical spells, charms and [[divination]], and how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as [[angel]]s, spirits, deities, and [[demon]]s. In many cases, the books themselves are believed to be imbued with magical powers, although in many cultures, other sacred texts that are not grimoires (such as the [[Bible]]) have been believed to have supernatural properties intrinsically. The primary contents found in a grimoire would be information on spells, [[ritual magic|ritual]]s, the preparation of magical tools, and lists of ingredients and their magical correspondences.
-While studying in Berlin, Santee was initiated into a [[Wicca]]n lineage by Arnold Reinman, who was a High Priest of the Black Forest Tradition. In 1967, Santee and most of the nurses who worked in his office were initiated into the New Forest Wicca lineage by [[Sybil Leek]], creating the [[Coven of the Catta]] in the process.
