you can pursue Gnosticism, it's just not Christian. they're two different things. the body of worshippers who call themselves Christian don't participate in magic, the same way they don't (or at least endeavour not to) participate in sin. they pursue Christ, and believe magic is antithetical to that pursuit as it does not serve Christ - hence the name Christian.
check out the /ceg/ threads if you're looking for esoteric practices in Christianity. It's not magic, but it's probably what you're looking for
All the Slavic magic shit, bro. I don't know if their traditions produced grimoire literature though.
Any sources you'd recommend?
The grimoire tradition is very much influenced by Catholicism.
You're all morons. The fact magic is forbidden doesn't stop some Christians from doing it anyway.
So do you know about grimoires ?
Folk Catholics have produced some interesting magical works attributed to Saint Cyprian of Antioch for example
Folk Orthodoxy is unknown territory to me however

Neither group practices magic, retard. Talk to a priest in real life instead of getting your information from movies and discord channels.

catholic and orthodox reject magic and the occult as machinations of the evil one
