Well, I got no clue how to edit my previous answer to this post, and don't have time to find out, so will just add this as addenda. For introduction
to the subject, I would suggest:
1.Transcendental Magic - Eliphas Levi
2. The Magus - Francis Barrett
3. Book of Ceremonial Magic - A.E.Waite
For intermediate level, these books:
1. Liber Lunae
2. Three Books of Occult Philosophy - H. C. Agrippa
3. Forth Book of Cornelius Agrippa...see
www.esotericarchives.com...
4. Psellus' Dialogue on the Operation of Demons...see
www.esotericarchives.com...
For advanced study, the major grimoires:
Heptameron, or Magical Elements of Peter de Abano
Lemegeton, or Lesser Key of Solomon (try to get edition including 'Theurgia Goetia' chapter)
Testament of Solomon
The Greater Key of Solomon
The Grand Grimoire (aka 'Red Dragon')
Sepher Raziel...see
www.esotericarchives.com...
Grimorium Verum
etc.*
Also, any books by Ebenezer Sibley (see wikipedia for list) are helpful. Hope this is what you seek.
*Full list of grimoires (some of which are still available) can be gleaned from the multi-volume 'History of Magic and Experimental Science'.
