    One more thing, if there are any Grimoires that’ve taken your fancy, tell me which ones your most interested in, and I’ll tell you which translation is the best. Overall, avoid Mathers’ and Crowley’s translations - they’re basically incorrect.

      I'm fairly certain Crowley was an undiagnosed sociopath. I've never heard of Mather

    If you want the best book on Grimoires probably ever written, check out the two volume series “The Grimoire Encyclopedia” by David Rankine.

      Also, if you want the best overall history of of magic, check out the eight volume series a “History of Magic and Experimental Science” by Lynn Thorndike. It is monumental, and expensive, but worth it.
