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...
