Hi guest! As you can see, the new Wizard Forums has been revived, and we are glad to have you visiting our site!

Uh these are my friends and we're on a literal forum for wizards?

I have considered commercializing this sort of thing. Not sure how much demand there is but I could produce a nice one of a kind leather bound Book of Spirits with illustrations drawn in the blood of a madman and infernally blessed by a satanic minister if they wanted.
It would cost me a lot of money and time to produce though. Lots of materials, lots of other people to pay. Dunno, do people actually buy that sort of thing?
1. CHRONOMIKER Dear members of the community "Hunters for the Books of Power"! Recently in personal correspondence, as well as on the Kalaratri website, I received a message from a magician calling himself "Black Wanderer" with the following content. Who has heard anything about the book he is...
I'm specifically looking for things that are at least, oh, 300 years old, preferably solomonic and that more closely resemble the beginning of the conjuration in my original post and less the parts that are in bold
I have been able to find references to old stuff and some rituals that are mentioned by the opposing side. Some of it is clearly pretty low effort propaganda but some of it does seem to be following a magical system. I'm trying to use these few examples to adapt other rituals and make them more diabolical. The more examples I have, the better I can do.
(free on archive.org) for its vivid description of a Black Mass; there's also a lot of interesting stuff about the medieval (alleged) child-murderer and amateur sorcerer Gilles de Rais. The book has shaped the public perception of Satanism ever since it appeared. Thousands of teenage would-be Satanists around the globe must have tattooed crosses on the soles of their feet so they could stomp on god with every step like Huysman's sacrilegious Canon Docre.
I'd start by defining what the "Devil" is first. As mentioned in an earlier reply here, it is an Abrahamic concept. So chances are grimoires that acknowledge such a concept are naturally, Judeo-Christian.
You cannot go make friends with the "Devil" using a Solomonic method as you stated either. No such thing.
What you're looking for are essentially pagan and witchcraft traditions.
You've also mentioned you prefer the text to be at least 300 years old. Well, I'd research the surviving texts either of Norse, Germanic, Slavic, Greek and Native American traditions. Plenty of Hindu traditions might be of interest to you also.

Keep in mind that what these earlier mentioned traditions "worshiped", is considered "Devil worship" in the lens of the Judeo-Christian POV.
