While researching an incident with some oracle cards today*, I came across an old CD I had with a whole bunch of ebooks on esoteric and paranormal topics. My first thought on reading the titles again was "Huh, some of that stuff could be quite useful on a hunt." Then I realized what a huge dork I was. Then I figured "Well, I'm certainly not the only one. I should share."

Most of the really wacky interesting ones are German translations, but here are some of the English ones, all .pdf format.

Goetia - First part of the Lesser Key of Solomon, a 17th century book on demonology. Contains a list of demons/evil spirits, their symbols and how to conjure them.
Ars Theurgia Goetia - Second part of the Lesser Key of Solomon, contains a list of ambiguous spirits, their symbols and how to conjure them. (Both of these are translated/edited by Samuel Mathers and Aleister Crowley.)

Aleister Crowley: The Book of Lies - A whole bunch of chaotic snippets on various topics, but no self-respecting occultist should go without a bit of Crowley. *nods*

E.A. Wallis Budge: The Egyptian Book of the Dead - All sorts of ancient Egyptian mysticism, including prayers and spells.

Tom Graves: Needles of Stone - Deals with megalithic stone monuments, "earth energy" and related stuff.

There's some good stuff at Esoteric Archives as well, basically all the old grimoires you need. ;) Check out Johann Weyer's "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum", a 16th century catalogue of demons.

* For those interested in the card incident )
