Ars Goetia: Book I of the Lemegeton
The Ars Goetia is one of the most notorious works of ritual occultism ever created. Originally part of a loose literary history dating to the 17th century, it was compiled with other material by Samuel MacGregor Mathers in 1904, forming the infamous 'Lesser Keys of Solomon' or Lemegeton. Containing a list of seventy two demons, their seals, and the method by which they can be summoned by the Master, this book (for it is its own book) contains a fair mix of the bizarre along with its demonology, with grotesque descriptions of otherworldly beings constrained by King Solomon himself; those selfsame fiendish devils which, by his power, built the Temple of Jerusalem itself.
Aradia: The Gospel of the Witches
Aradia is one of the most renowned anthropological studies of magic of its era. Written by Charles Leland, it fits in with many of his other works, and covers what he purports as a tradition of folkish witchcraft and fairy lore in central Italy. Indeed, the occult usefulness here is as expansive as the historical, since it contains complete invocations and a series of rituals as part of its scope.
Demoniality: Incubi and Succubi: A Book of Demonology
'Demoniality: Incubi and Succubi', is one of several Latin works penned by a Father Sinistrari of Ameno during the twilight of the Renaissance. Rendered into English in the late 1800s, it speaks of demons, their composition, their mannerisms, and relates numerous tales of copulation with the same. Perhaps one of the strangest works of Demonology, this work claims that it is possible for demons to father literal offspring with humans through the use of a corpse as a vehicle, and although it is a technically Catholic work, Sinistrari even makes the claim that incubi are, in some ways, perhaps superior even to man.
Grimorium Verum: The True Grimoire
The Grimorium Verum (sometimes spelled Grimoirium) is one of the most diabolical black magic works ever crafted within the occult. From summoning Beelzebub and Lucifer to using the head of a dead man and some beans to summon a demon and gain invisibility, much of its content is purely demonic in nature. Infamous for such content it enjoyed hefty circulation in the era of works like the Petit Albert and Grand Grimoire.

The Black Pullet
The Black Pullet is a strange work that is at once a grimoire detailing the use of talismans, and a short story regarding a French Napoleonic soldier being saved by a wise old Turkish mage from an angry mob. Written some time in the 18th century, it contains rather elaborate philosophy and is at least partly symbolic; some of the talismans show allusions to other works, notably the Rosary of the Philosophers and the Petit Albert.
The Arbatel of Magick: The Magick of the Ancients
The Arbatel of Magick is one of a number of early grimoires focusing primarily on white magic and the philosophical side of the occult. Well known despite its relatively short length, it is broken into a series of aphorisms which contain various spiritual knowledge. It treats on various different types of magick, arranged into seven sections.
