Looking for a good intro into Demonology

[Reaper]

Hi. I've been into the witchcraft side of the crooked path and am ready to learn a bit more from the demon side. Any suggestions on where to start to learn the basics?

In what way would you like to work with demons / what aspect are you wanting to get into? Just going by what you have shared already, that you are on the path of traditional witchcraft I bet you'd be interested in "Demons & Spirits of the Land" by Claude Lecouteux.

Its much more of a historical book than a practical one, but what it covers can inform what you may end up doing with ritual.

Some of the things in the table of contents: Demons and fallen angels, Cult remnants, Encountering spirits of the local land, Boundaries and their markers, Circumabulation, The forest...

Looking into maybe demonic magic ,but like the idea of spirits also. The book sounds like a very interesting read. I will definitely have to check it out.

I've been reading alot of Connolly here lately. I found a treasure trove in the book share and have been trying to soak up all I can. It's been good stuff.

Check out Demons of Magick by Gordon Winterfield or Lucifer and the Hidden Demons by Michael W Ford. Both demonic in nature but different takes into demonolgy. The first is evocation while the latter has personal philosophy in there as well.

Cool, thank you for the heads up. It's always interesting to learn about different types of pathworkings. Will definitely give both books a look.
