A Dictionary of Angels: Including the Fallen Angels

This one has a pretty good listing of angels. There's also this on someone's website, and I do recommend the Book of Enoch.

• A Dictionary of Angels - A really well-researched and super interesting reference book, which will help you do everything from distinguish an angel from an archangel, name the different hierarchies of demons, draw Solomon's Seal, or enchant a flying carpet.

My advice is to start with The Book of Enoch. Lots of angels (fallen and righteous) involved in the action, interacting with each other, etc. It's technically not scripture (except in Ethiopia) but, just barely.

This book is alright, just for reference and exposing yourself to a huge swath of different angels. Definitely follow up on as many primary sources as interest you; they're pretty well indexed in the book.

Otherwise, don't stress out too much -- there isn't really anyone who's "fundamentalist" about angelology or angel lore. There's more imagination involved than theology, so definitely go where your inspiration leads.

I've actually done a bunch of research myself on different angels; if there's any specific angel you want to know more about I can send you some notes (currently at work but I'll see what I've got on Ramiel when I get home).

EDIT: At home and looking at notes. Heads up that Remiel / Ramiel (same angel) is not a fallen angel -- he's actually considered an archangel. His being the angel of "true visions" is from 2 Baruch, scroll down to Chapter 55. He has that title because he interpreted the visions to Baruch correctly, not necessarily that he himself grants any visions.

I'm pretty convinced that you will find the fallen angel you're looking for in The Book of Enoch though. If not, another source I'd try is Paradise Lost by Milton. Happy researching, and let me know if you need anything else!

I don't think "demons, aliens, and all things occult" are typically covered in a single, definitive work. Especially because "aliens" are usually part of UFOlogy and not occultism.

Regarding occult topics though:

- The New Encyclopedia of the Occult
- Three Books of Occult Philosophy
- Dictionary of Demons
- A Dictionary of Angels
- The Golden Dawn
- Gems of the Equinox
- The Complete Magician's Tables
- The Magician's Companion

There are literally hundreds of other resources available too, but these are the ones I could think of off the top of my head.

No problem, this is a good starter guide http://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Angels-Including-Fallen/dp/002907052X/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413201781&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=dictionary+of+angels+and+deons

It works as an actual guide with references to sources from which it is pulled. It lists the spirits by name like a dictionary, then includes the etymology of the name (if known), then a summary with references to whatever books/scrolls the information came from. There may be more up to date information elsewhere (I've had this book for several years), but if nothing else its a good place to start.

It also includes listings of angelic hierarchy which is funny because in some sources Arch-Angels are at the top, others (I would say the correct ones) have Arch-Angels at the bottom with the Seraphim at the top.

Reading the answers there's some great banter, but here's some more practical info - in case you were actually serious in your question.

If you're after Judeo-Christian concepts, then look up Gustav Davidson's Dictionary of Angels as it lists numerous demons.

Another guide would be the Lesser Key of Solomon which has detailed demon descriptions and guides for summoning.

Another place to start would be Enochian Magic principles. Put the three together and you're off to a good start... but

Read this before you do anything, Dion Fortune's Psychic Self Defense.

/u/Insanelopez has the best advice so far - if you're being serious. Don't get stuck into something too quickly that you don't know anything about.

Literally a dictionary of ten thousand or so named angels from different sources.

Its not much by itself, but its cheap.

Thank you for getting the joke.

I would not really advise to solely look at Enochian Text for this, you might want to start looking at
A Dictionary of Angels for some good baseline info
and the Sepher Rezial Hemelach

Fifth World Books - 419 E. 2100 South, SLC, UT. Ph.(801)486-6437 Will often know where to point you as well. Rosenblum's World of Judaica on Devon St. In Chicago can direct you as well as get you some very hard to find reference books.

Hope those can give you some more diverse and accurate sources of information.

EDIT: Also of course the Sefer Yetzirah: The Book of Creation and The Magician's Companion
