Reddit reviews The Magician's Companion: A Practical and Encyclopedic Guide to Magical and Religious Symbolism (Llewellyn's High Magick Series)

take some gold for being in a similar situation as myself at around the same time in life. in return, i hope you will look into purchasing one, a few, or all of these used/new books on amazon (or anywhere) for your contemplations.. you have my sacred word you will not regret it even if you just set them aside for a year or two. The knowledge gained from opening one's mind to these potential patterns of thought is incomparable to anything else I can think of as an addendum to the Holy Bible & other worldly religious books of faith.

1. Sefir Yetzirah (Book of Formation) - Aryeh Kaplan's version (a great explanatory edition)
   
   
2. The Hermetica - Timothy Freke & Peter Gandy compilation
   
   
3. The Gnostic Bible - Edited by Willis Barnstone & Marvin Meyer
   
   
4. Isis Unveiled - vol 1 and vol 2 - Madame Helena Blavatsky
   
   
5. The Magician's Companion: A Practical & Encyclopedic Guide to Magical & Religious Symbolism - Bill Whitcomb
   
   

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.

By chance this?

I'm fond of Bill Whitcomb's The Magician's Companion.

...also Crowly suggested in Magic Without Tears that a serious practitioner would construct their own 777. I think the idea is to have intimate knowledge of the correspondences of all of the symbols you work with. Symbols can be powerful tools, but they are definitely amplified when they interact with each other in your subconscious perception.

If you like to examine "real" magic

Real Magic by Isaac Bonewits this book was basis for Gurps Authentic Thaumaturgy, relationship between different "laws"

Magician Companion by Bill Whitcomb review of modern symbols

Magician's Reflections by Bill Whitcomb how to make your own magical system.

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

I keep seeing these 'what is it" posts. If you are a serious occultists you are going to need a reference volume.
