The Supernatural Source Book par Wade Baskin
Basically, don't bother with this book. The scant amount of accurate information it has isn't worth swimming through all the BS. If this book hadn't been a gift, I wouldn't even own it.
This book is a great reference if you are into satanism and demonology. While it is not entirely correct with some of the information, it does provide a good view of the many demons and devils in the world. I love this book!!!!

The definition of CABALA provides a historical as well as elemental outline, noting that most of its commentaries are by unknown authors. The richness of the "Dark Ages" is documented in this chosen circle.
Provides the actual text of the Polyglot Invocation, which is of course binding on the spirit invoked, should this ever be necessary.… (plus d'informations)
