Seeking Recommendation First time studying grimoires, would appreciate help!

[runixcube]

hey everyone! im runix, i love studying anthropology and for a while, ive been into theology! and im at a part where ive finished all the mainstream religions and i want to learn more about occult/magic!

i marked it as help, but it can be counted as opinion too… i want to know what you guys would personally reccomend to read to get started with magic! maybe actual occult books, maybe dissertations… whatever you guys see fit for a start. i just want to know if theres a starting point that you people can give me or if theres any advice on how to properly start studying the occult world. ^^

thank you so much for taking the time to read this! hope you all have a good day wherever you are!! ^^

P.S. also would appreciate if anyone can tell me where to find the original sources of some grimoires or sources for free. as a student, im sadly lacking the budget to spend money on all media…

Welcome to the study of the occult world!

I am certainly glad to hear that you are interested in studying grimmoires. There are a lot of them. Depending on your interest, I can recommend the Black Dragon, Dragon Rouge, Ars Paulina, Ars Goetia, The Grand Grimmoire, The Three Books of Occult Philosophy by Henrich Cornelius Agrippa, Lemegeton and many others.

If you want a good source for finding the Ars Paulina text for example, you can visit Twilit Grotto:

Additionally, you can find many others here in the library or, if you prefer the external resources, I can give you the link to the whole archive of grimoires on the Solomonic Tradition:

[Official] - SkullTraill's Recommended Occult Reading and Reference

Now that our library is starting to get pretty fleshed out, I've decided to make a comprehensive list of what I consider to be essential occult reading in various categories. Please note: this thread is a work in progress, and will be for the forseeable future. I want it to only include books...
