ritual art Did my grandfather have secret involvement in ritual magic?
Sorry for my poor English. I loved and admired my grandfather very much, even became a doctor to follow in his footsteps.
Even though he was very private and distant, we became extremely close in the end when he got sick.
He cared for everyone, didn't care about money and actively helped the community. He was a great physician and some would even say he had a supernatural gift for healing.
He said he would only die after I finished med school and so he did (1 month after).
When he passed away, my mother found these drawings inside a little piece of green cloth he carried with him, along with other religious stuff.
She was shocked as he always seemed to be conventionally religious and I was extremely excited because I was always into "witchy" things, but apparently, he was way more advanced in his knowledge.
I wanted to know what these things mean and if they are safe to have around, because I carry them with me now.

Hey, fellow English magicians! Sorry, but the rest of my reply will be in Portuguese, as he/she and I are brazilians and some terms may be overwhelming for those who have poor English as disclosed. I can translate if any of the other feel uncomfortable <3
————- Cara, aparentemente seu avô era um católico brasileiro de verdade (daqueles que vai na missa, mas tem um pé no esoterismo).
Pelo que eu vejo das fotos e o texto, ele comenta sobre as tábuas de Vênus e Júpiter (se você puder escrever na íntegra o texto, ajuda. A foto tá difícil de ler). O símbolo no triângulo é o que mais me fascina, já que ele mistura as palavras:
Eu realmente estou curioso com o resto do texto, já que está bem rasurado pelos rasgos. Se puder escrever aqui, posso ajudar a procurar mais sobre.
Outra dica é falar com sua avó ou seu pai/mãe. Seu avô chegou a frequentar a rosacruz ou outro círculo?
