Here are a few books I use for my research as well as reference.
If you click the links, it will take you to Amazon.co.uk.
It’s a pretty esotheric list, with more added regularly, but these are the main ones I (currently) refer to.
The printed books, that is. I have a stack of ebooks at my disposal as well, a lot of them Grimoires of varying ages, books on Witchcraft, Demons, and of course, several on writing.
Some of the books are no longer in print!
