It depends on where you want to go. I started by reading the Satanic Bible and Satanic Witch by Anton Levay.
He was a non-theistic Satanist.

A beginners reading list and recommendations for newbies is a great idea! I have posted other resources over the forum but should someone stumble upon this thread, I always tell people beginning their journey with demons to read the works of S. Connolly. She really lays a solid foundation when it comes to working with Demon (Daemons) and the Dark Lords.

Connolly's website is... http://www.demonolatry.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . There are downloadable pdf's which are a great place to begin. They can all be found here.. http://demonolatry.org/library-archives ... downloads/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Then of course she has a number of published books which are great for all levels to read.

The Keys of Ocat - S. Connolly
Daemonolatry Goetia — S. Connolly
Modern Demonolatry — S. Connolly
Demonic Hierarchies — S. Connolly
The Complete Book of Demonolatry - S. Connolly

Other books which make for an interesting read.

Lesser Key of Solomon (Also known as the Lemegeton or Ars Goetia)
Psuedomonarchia Daemonum — Johann Weyer
The Grand Grimoire — Alibek
Malleus Maleficarum — Heinrich Kramer
Luciferian Goetia — Michael Ford
The first time I called myself a 'Witch' was the most magical moment of my life.
Margot Adler,

Just because I'm on a different path doesn't mean I'm lost.

Most witches dont believe in gods. They know that the gods exist, of course. They even deal with them occasionally. But they dont believe in them. They know them too well. It would be like believing in the postman.

Honestly I recommend a LHP newbie read all they can get their hands on.
Sorry I do not have a reading list beyond the resources I have shared scattered in the forum - I share what I can when I can and have a ton of book references, but it is something that has been personal to my own learning and not like a flat out reading list that I can put together, so I share them in a natural way, usually, when I am writing essays or quoting sources. There are so many great books, but I never heard of an intro to the LHP kind of book...
thank you that is what I Have been doing for mouths now reading everything I can on the LHP to help me to at lest have some ideal of what I am doing I am open to learning as much as I can by books online reading from some sites
