occult literature

a lot of occult literature can be found free online in one place called esotericarchives.com. also check out the internet sacred texts archive. spiritualis librae also has some interesting info.

i also recommend reading the pages on enochian.org. athena seems to have much experience with magick.

in this list of specific books you'll notice things like the bible and the qur'an. this is because the occult is the search for truth and truth is not confined to just one place.

here's a list of religious texts.

here's my (ongoing) list of important texts:
the old testament
the new testament
vulgate
the book of mormon
doctrine and covenants
pearl of great price
qur'an (english)
lemegeton (clavicula salomonis) / the lesser key of solomon / Pseudomonarchia Daemonum / goetia
the satanic bible
the satanic scriptures
book of the sacred magic of abramelin the mage
777 And Other Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley

i am finding that a lot of literature is available online, try searching for the title + pdf, e.g.:
lesser key of solomon pdf

a good idea is to read user reviews of books on amazon, and not just the 5 star ones, read them all. look for reviews with specifics and even recommendations of other books. i always start from the bottom (1 star reviews) then work my way up. exercise caution with books with only 5 stars from only a handful of reviewers.

witchcraft suggestions (i havent reviewed these myself yet):
The Horn of Evenwood by Robin Artisson
Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson
Call of the Horned Piper by Nigel Aldcroft Jackson
Masks of Misrule by Nigel Jackson

see also the list of occult and magick forums.
