What is the single most important Occult Book or media you own?

[SkullTraill]

If for some reason, the internet stopped working, and you had to relocate, and you could bring only one book with you, what would you bring?

Alternatively, let's say your memory was being erased, and your posessions taken away by aliens, but they are allowing you to keep one book!

What would it be?

Such a tough question! I'm tempted to say the Lesser Key of Solomon or the Heptameron, but the newly released SSM comes to mind, more foundational and seems to have so many more mysteries to uncover for many long years... But, along those same lines I'd have to go with the Picatrix / Ghâyat al-Hakîm. Just personally I've been getting more into electional astrology & neoplatonism lately and there's such a vast intersection of interesting things here... Trithemius was said to own a copy as well!

My journal containing personal experiences, records of encounters, spells, ritual methods, herbal mixtures and oil creations etc. It's the most important piece of work to me.

I feel like this already happened, and the aliens left me on a strange prison planet where all Psi is on lock down and everything else is being hoarded by greedy selfish prisoners. This isn't the Internet I remember, and everything is twisted and slanted to support the greed lords and keep people ignorant, divided, and fighting.
That being said, I would take "Daoist Magical Transformation Skills: Dream Magic, Shape-Shifting, Soul Travel, and Sex Magic" by Professor Jerry Alan Johnson, Ph.D., D.T.C.M.
I would mainly take that because it covers many of the things I've come to realize are a version of some of the many truths, as seen from a limited energetic perspective, but enough of a version to get a foothold back into what my other forms of awareness remember and know. I would actually take all of his works, if they were bound into one.

I've read several of his books but I think I missed this one - he actually so inspired me to get into exorcism. He founded the 2 biggest accredited schools for Chinese Medicine in the states, and I studied under a student of his.
