A collection of free-use texts on witchcraft, magic, and related topics. Shared with Dropbox

Hello, witches! Since I’m always harping on about learning your history and checking your sources, I thought I’d help folks get a head start by compiling some source material.

To that end, I’ve started a Dropbox folder with a stash of historical texts on witchcraft, magic, and related topics. Nearly everything I’ve managed to find so far is public domain (thank you Project Gutenberg), with the exception of a very thorough herbal grimoire I found online some years ago and a book of witchcraft from the 1970s that appears to be out of print.

I will be continuing in this vein with future texts that I find. Everything will be public domain or cited to the source that it came from, in PDF format. I will NOT be including PDFs of any book currently in circulation with a copyright linked to a living author or estate. The point of this folder is that everything in it should be free for sharing and open use as research materials.

Below is the initial list of titles. I tried to include as many as I could find, with a focus on some oft-cited classics. I will be adding new texts as I find them.

Paimon

One of the Goetic demons who serves under the High King Lucifer as a King. This information was shared to me by Paimon and also gained through my experiences in working with this magnificent infernal god. 

Rulerships: rhetoric, courts, influencing people in power, bringing people safety when in transit, matters of legal disputes, messages, invisibility, cunning, magickal prowess, serendipity, and helping to acquire rare bargains

History: When the leader of the Watchers, Shemyaza, was cursed by the False God, he was split into two beings- Azazel and Paimon. While Azazel is the more war-like side, Paimon is more withdrawn and intellectual. After Falling, Paimon joined High King Lucifer straight away, as he valued the same things as Lucifer, and how he was everything that the False God (Jehovah) was not. Besides this, most of Paimon’s existence remains a mystery, as he does not wish to share much about himself. 

Rank: King

Elements: Air, Fire, Earth, Junction

Colours: Red, Orange, Yellow, Gold

Appearance: An Arabian man in his late 40’s with black hair, although his head is normally covered with cloth. He wears a weathered ancient Arab garment that is often light-beige in colour. Paimon’s expression is stern, and he doesn’t normally show much emotion. He appears while riding upon a demonic camel with red eyes; horns can be heard blaring upon his arrival (in the astral).

Personality: Paimon is very reserved and serious, he does not speak much to others or reveal many things about himself. He greatly values knowledge, and constantly devotes his time to seeking out more wisdom. He wanders each day and watches, becoming wiser. Paimon wanders the entire world, with empty places as his favourite areas. Although he makes sure to never stay anywhere for long, always being on the move. 

Paimon is a very complex demon, and is honourable as well. He values honest deals, perseverance, and those who wander far away to seek rare objects or opportunities. Paimon has immense knowledge and is also highly skilled in magick, especially favouring the magick of the ancient Arabs. He doesn’t normally like humans however, especially those who are willfully ignorant or those who complain often. But if someone is dedicated and intelligent enough, he may be willing to impart some teachings.

How to call him: Speak to Paimon as you would with any other god, be polite and considerate. Contact him through telepathically speaking in your mind, directing the words to him (you can do this verbally, but if malicious spirits hear, they may pretend to be him). When inviting a Goetic demon to visit you, try to dress decently for them since they are divine and royalty. 

Things he can do: Assist in rhetoric skills, court matters, influencing people in power, safety during travels, developing cunning and wit, magickal knowledge, help in striking interesting bargains (such as gaining rare pieces), and help with reuniting people to meet again.

Enn (for meditation or devotion): Linan tasa jedan Paimon

Offerings: camel pastourma, beef pastourma, chickpeas, hummus with paprika, falafel, pita bread, pinecone seeds, bitter dark chocolate (85-90%), sand, desert seeds (from any desert flower or tree), small spools of thread (red, orange, yellow, or gold), rutilated quartz, beryl, peridot, aquamarine, bone carvings, wooden carvings of camels, bone dice, tumbleweeds, gold flakes in oil, walking staffs of desert people (carved, wooden), oud incense, bakhoor with devil’s eye incense

🥚🔮 EGG CLEANSING🔮🥚

✨What is egg cleansing?✨

Spiritual egg cleansing is an effective ritual that gets rid of negative energy from the body and the environment. Whenever you feel like there is bad energy surrounding you, just do an egg cleansing to know what is wrong. A special magic procedure to eliminate negative energies, clean your aura and open all doors quickly - it is really easy to do!

✨Why would I do one?✨

The use of an egg for spiritual cleansing has been rooted in many ancient cultures and cultures today. It is regarded as a symbol of growth and life. The egg is thought to absorb stuck and negative energy. It’s a special energetic tool and container that takes on life and energy when used like a spiritual vacuum. It removes whatever isn’t necessary or vital to you.

✨What you will need:✨

1 egg (room temperature)

1 white candle

1 glass of water (room temperature)

Salt

✨How to perform an egg cleanse✨

Light the candle

Run the egg all over your body from head to feet saying any prayer of your choice, Imagining all the negativity being absorbed into the egg

Break the egg into the water leave it for 5 minutes and get ready to read the results (DO NOT LOOK OVER THE TOP OF THE GLASS AS YOU CAN ABSORB WHAT WAS JUST REMOVED)

When finished add salt to neutralize any negative energy and flush it down toilet

✨🔮Tips🔮✨

DO NOT LOOK OVER THE TOP OF THE GLASS AS YOU CAN ABSORB WHAT WAS JUST REMOVED

The best time to do an egg cleansing is on a Sunday or a Monday. This will help you to start the week with lots of strength. You can also do it at the beginning of a month or a new year.

The cleansing can be performed at any time of the day.

You can do the cleansing at any lunar phase, but the best time to do it is when the moon is waning.

You can do the cleansing in any room you want but ensure that the room has a window to remove any negative energy.

Ensure that you have all the ingredients necessary before doing a cleansing.

🔮Some basic interpretations🔮

If the water smells bad or you can see blood, this is a work of evil operating signal.

If there are small spots of blood in the water, this is a sign of bad luck and a damage caused by a strong witchcraft work, especially if the water is cloudy.

If the water becomes cloudy without odor and blood, this is a sign of loss of the soul or energy, provided there is no blood present.

If the egg yolk has the shape of a face, this is a sign of an enemy. A slender face indicates a male enemy, a round face indicates a female enemy.

If the yolk takes the form of an eye, this is a sign of the evil eye.

If there are small bubbles in the water, this is a sign that the negative energy was absorbed by guardian spirits.

🔮MORE IN DEPTH INTERPRETATIONS🔮

When you break the egg and the yolk comes out with bubbles surrounding it or shooting upwards, it is a sign that the negative energy around you is too much, meaning you are very tired. This could be the reason why you have not had the strength to do anything. There are people who even feel dizzy or get headaches.

When you see a figure that looks like an animal or a person in the yolk, you should be concerned. If it is a person, the interpretation of this image is that he or she is envious of you. If it is an animal or object, you must recall if you have dreamt of it or if it is a problem in your life at the moment.

When you break the egg and you see pointy images in the shape of needles or nails, this means that there are people who have cast black magic spells on you, meaning they do not want you to succeed.

If you break the egg and a coat covers the yolk, it means that someone is always disturbing you and provoking you to make you angry.

When you see red or black spots on the yolk after breaking the egg, you should be attentive to the warnings. It is a sign with the interpretation that you have a disease in your body.

When the yolk is cloudy, black, or grey, this is a bad sign meaning there is an evil eye sent your way through magic spells.

If you see spikes facing downwards in the egg yolk, it is a symbol with the interpretation that you have a lot of anger that you have not let go.

If you see figures curled in the egg yolk, this is a bad sign warning you that you could fall ill and you need to go for a checkup immediately.

When you break a normal egg, the yolk always goes down. However, if the yolk remains in the middle or goes up, it is a bad sign meaning that someone is sending evil your way by casting magic spells.

When you see eyes in the egg yolk, this means that someone is jealous of you and is watching you. That is why you have been feeling discomfort and your path has been blocked.

If you see geometric figures in the yolk, they have different meanings. Triangles are interpretations of the lies you have been telling and your guilt. Squares tell you that you need to move forward and forget the past.

White halos surrounding the yolk mean that you make decisions too quickly and you need to slow down to get back in line.

If the egg yolk is hot, looks cooked, and the white appears extremely white, this is a sign that there is negative energy surrounding you. It means black magic spells have been cast on you. You should do another egg cleansing ritual to remove them.

Clouds or swirling figures in the egg yolk mean you have emotional problems that are affecting your relationships with other people.

If the egg yolk has many threads going up, it means gossip is disturbing your life and there are people who want to see you sad. You should do another egg cleansing to clear your path

Silhouettes in the egg yolk are signs you need to watch out for. It means that the spirits surrounding you want to give you a message.

Cobweb shapes in the yolk mean that many people are jealous of you and want you to fail in something you want, like a business, a project, or a promotion

When you break an egg and see flowers in the yolk, this is a good sign. It means that negative energies are going away and good times are coming your way.

If the water in the egg yolk has blood or an odour, this is a sign that there are evil spirits around you and you need a cleansing ritual.

If you break the egg and see an eye in the yolk, it is a sign of the evil eye watching you. You should get rid of it through a spiritual cleansing.

When you find that the water is clear after breaking an egg, it means that nothing bad is happening and there are no evil spirits around you.

If you see the shape of a person in the egg yolk, this is a sign that you have an enemy. A slim face means that the enemy is male and a round face means it is a woman.

If the egg yolk has a symbol of a bird like a vulture, owl, or crow, this means that a magic spell has been cast on you and you need to do another cleansing to be free from it.

The color of the white part of the egg is also important when it comes to meanings and interpretations. If you break the egg and the white appears murky or dark, it means that you are scared and you need to have more confidence

When you break an egg and you find many bubbles surrounding the yolk, it means that there are good spirits watching out for you.

If you find big balloons in the water, it is a sign of a cage. It means that you are trapped in a situation and you will not get out of it quickly. It could be someone has trapped you in that situation or you are trapped because of wrong things you have done. You need to do many cleansings to get out of such a situation.

If you happen to break the egg during a cleansing, it is a sign that evil spirits are trying to stop you from cleansing yourself. You need to do the cleansing again to get rid of the evil spirits.

The Shadow Self and Shadow Work

The Shadow is the part of our psyche that we are born with, showing our darker natures. In Ancient Egypt, it was known as the Khaibit. These entities do not usually look similar to us, but often appear as horrific or ugly humanoids or creatures. Throughout our lives, this Shadow grows stronger through our negative and traumatic experiences, and through us listening to their manipulations. Therefore, the Shadow is part of us, but is their own entity at the same time; an accumulation of all our pains, doubts, anger, and self-destructive desires.

The Shadow seeks nothing but to always cause us more suffering, since it feeds off this and grows stronger. The only way to fight the Shadow is to stop feeding it, but this can be extremely difficult depending on how much your Shadow has grown over the years, since it entangles itself everywhere within you. In extremely rare cases, one’s Shadow may have a change of heart and choose to help their human self instead. But again, this is very rare and the vast majority of Shadows are always toxic and dangerous.

This dark part of our psyche is not ever to be underestimated. Because they are part of us, they know everything about us; every harmful detail about ourselves is known to them, even if we are currently unaware of certain things. They can use plenty of tactics to crush our hearts, but their style of doing this often depends on what your personal issues are, and what sort of Shadow archetype you have. The following are some examples of the archetypes:

Shadow Archetypes:

-The Abuser

This is typically the Shadow of someone who was hurt badly in the past, likely for many years. In response, you would become bitter and resentful, feeling betrayed by the world. Thus, your subconsciousness gradually empowered the Abuser Shadow, which in turn urges you towards the destructive tendencies of cruelty and selfishness. Deep down, you feel that everyone should hurt just as much as you have; why should the world be kinder towards the rest? This Shadow therefore convinces you that other people deserve to suffer, especially when you hit your lowest points of mindset or when you suddenly get triggered by someone. Such instances may cause you to become suddenly very angry, even to the point of making physical attacks. You may often dislike those around you, and are influenced by your Shadow to think and say scornful things towards others, especially due to your quick temper and impatience. The Abuser Shadow will have you lash out at anyone when you get triggered, even loved ones if it gets the chance. They may also tell you to try and be controlling towards others, using either manipulation or scare-tactics. Though you will always be its primary target, as it causes you to lose all the chances for happiness you could have had.

-The Director

This Shadow is cold and calculating, primarily focusing on strategic ways to bring you into a self-destructive spiral. It will quietly keep all your bad memories, thoughts, guilts, doubts, and fears organized, waiting for each perfect moment to bring them into your consciousness. It will carefully bring forward intense pessimism into your mind, tainting your perspective in order to destroy your happiness or any pleasant moment. This suddenly causes a wave of despair to wash over your vision, clouding you from your normal clarity and reasoning. This Shadow convinces you that it is always right, as they are very logical and can even provide “proof” for these things. This Shadow will strategically strip away all the things that make you happy through reasoning, showing you various examples as to why joy and hope are meaningless for you. It will distort your happy moments and even your loved ones, targeting things about them and your inner-weaknesses to try and force you into a dark, pessimistic perspective. The Director will often try to manipulate you into destroying your happiness through this way, sometimes it may even cause you to enjoy the downward spiral.

-The Freak

This Shadow is fueled by your self-hatred, often targeting your various faults and insecurities to make you feel ridiculous and humiliated. You likely felt ridiculed a lot while growing up, which helped fuel the strength of your Shadow, while also making you more likely to believe its toxic words. They love to say horrible things to you, making fun of whatever you do. And when people shun you or mock you, this Shadow is quick to point it out and make you feel even worse. The Freak will always want to make you feel like an outcast, a fool, and a nobody. “You’re so weird and different from all of them, why would anyone like you or take you seriously?” it sneers. And not knowing any better, you usually listen, and feel deep shame. You beat yourself up for not being “cooler” or more perfect; nothing you do seems to be right. The Freak may also even convince you to do impulsive things that will cause you to look even more shameful, causing you to quickly regret your actions. This Shadow wants you to always hate yourself, causing you to never truly feel happy or even confident enough to go do what you want in life.

Cernunnos has been adopted in the neopagan community as a god of “fertility” and “masculinity”. This is not true to his Gaulish Celtic origins. There’s no surviving mythology of him, so all we know today is from ancient artifacts depicting his iconography and context within the Celtic pantheon. Lets look at what archeologists have gathered from these objects.

Baphomet

Demonic god of transformation, fruition, fertility, libertinism, and wisdom attained through indulging the senses

There are times when deities are able to create other gods by merging some of their energy with another deity’s energy. This is seldom done, and is used during times when it is deemed necessary, especially to help in certain causes. Baphomet is one such god who came into being under these circumstances. The information shared is what I’ve learnt from Baphomet through my experiences in working with them.

Baphomet was created as a joint-project between Satan (one of the three demonic High Kings) and Shub-Niggurath, the Outer Goddess known as the Black Goat with a Thousand Dark Young. These two deities merged small portions of their energy in order to construct a combined form that would act as a unique deity; one that holds both of their teachings combined. With Satan’s contribution, his energy of rebellion, virility, indulgence, and will-power helped fuel Baphomet’s more aggressive areas. Shub-Niggurath, being the great goddess of fertility, insight, and the wilderness helped in fueling the more serene and wisdom-seeking areas of Baphomet.

With all these things combined, Baphomet became a teaching deity who would draw people towards the left-hand path and show them some of the true teachings of the demons. Baphomet encourages humans to embrace sexuality rather than see it as a sin, since this notion is harmful for many reasons. While sex is an important way to bring new life into being, Baphomet also values the pleasure that sex brings. Pleasure should be enjoyed without guilt, especially since human lives are short and full of burden.

Baphomet is a god of Libertinism, which is indulgence in pleasure, but also your own will. This encourages the freedom to enjoy life, since your life is your own and not anyone else’s. You also indulge in your pride, since you are not acting as a sheep like most others do, but rather as your own individual self who does not bow down to the tyranny of the Church. This however does not give one the right to act however they please or act arrogantly, since this will go against the teachings of Baphomet. The teaching here is to rule yourself with wisdom, and to seek enjoyment within a world that constantly tries to steal it from you.

From this, we see that Baphomet is strongly linked to the material, but since they are a deity of balance, they are linked to the spiritual as well. Through indulging in your senses, you can gradually gain certain experiences that grant you wisdom. This is not something that can be done through overindulgence or doing things that would be harmful to you, as these would lead to harmful circumstances or materialism. The point here is that through freeing ourselves from the Christian fear of pleasure and by allowing ourselves to gain insight from new experiences, we can obtain certain understandings from this and progress towards wisdom. This can be expressed through the quote “The Path of Excess leads to the Tower of Wisdom” from Enigma and William Blake, as wisdom can only be gained through large amounts of experience, if done properly. 

Baphomet can be spoken to at any time and asked for guidance. They are a deity who interacts through our minds in order to bring spiritual teachings, and then vanishes when no longer being spoken to. They seek to guide and uplift both body and spirit, which will bring balance into a person and awaken more of their potential. The original Baphomet was a combination of Cernunnos and Pan, which was worshipped by the Knights Templar before they were discovered. Hundreds of years later, Eliphas Levi created the iconic image of Baphomet, which was some time after Baphomet as a deity was constructed by Shub-Niggurath and Satan. Through analyzing the many symbolisms shown in the art of Baphomet, we can gain even more insight about this dualistic deity. 

Symbolism of Baphomet:

The black goat is not only a Satanic animal, but also the form which Shub-Niggurath takes, since she is the humanoid black she-goat.

The hermaphroditic form shows the union of male and female as one, which is gained through the combined energies of Satan and Shub-Niggurath.

The torch upon their head represents Illumination, showing the light that emerges from one’s being when they have been spiritually awoken through great effort.

The pentacle is the left-hand path, the teachings of the demons.

The Caduceus represents the Staff of Hermes, which symbolizes the balance of opposites as well as the principle of correspondence. The Staff also acts as an allusion to the phallus, which is the masculine sign of fertility.

The wings represent connection of the celestial element with the bestial element (the goat), which together is the union between Heaven and Earth. This is not the false Christian Heaven, but the true celestial realm. In Sumerian mythology, this union was called the Duranki, and is the link which allows humans the possibility to transcend beyond the earthly plane and into a higher state of being. 

Baphomet’s arms bare the Latin words Solve (separate) and Coagula (unite). This refers to alchemy, which is taught in The Alchemical V.I.T.R.I.O.L where it says “Visit the interior of the earth and by purifying yourself, you will find the hidden stone.” The meaning of this text is that one must delve into themselves and separate from their ego, thus becoming purified. Through this, the hidden stone, which is the core (higher self), will be discovered. And through bonding with the higher self, one can gain great wisdom, freedom, inner-strength, and life beyond death (without reincarnation). So the Solve and Coagula refer to this very teaching, of separating from what limits us and uniting with our truth. This brings self-transformation and is the first step towards Illumination.

The hand gestures used by Baphomet is the ancient sign of binding and teaching, which is also used as a blessing. It is used in the Hermetic tradition, and has been used by other deities as well. Baphomet’s hands also point both towards the sky and towards the earth, representing the Hermetic law of “as above, so below”. This law means that everything has a correspondence to another, which allows the use of magick in many areas. One should not interpret this phrase as meaning opposites, but rather that everything connects to other points of reference on another plane. Thus, the material and the spiritual are interrelated, based on the principle of similarity (caution: similar refers to analogy; it does not mean they are the same). There are points of correspondence for everything, which forms the basis on most areas of magick, and may also explain portals, teleportation, and other advanced magick techniques. Therefore, many things in existence are reflections of each other; above and below are not opposites since they do not oppose each other, instead, they are two different points of perspective. This is telling us that like “above” and “below”, many other things correspond with one another as analogies and can thus be used in magick to help us make connections. For example, the metal of silver is connected to the Moon because they are “reflections” of each other, thus causing silver to have an energy link to the Moon, which allows it to be used in planetary magick.

The fingers of Baphomet point towards two different Moons. The crescent that is waning is Solve (dissolution/separation) and the black crescent that is representing the Dark Moon is symbolizing new beginnings through transformation.

Overall, Baphomet is a deity who teaches the way of self-transformation through gaining insight and freedom. There is also a mixture of indulgence, but as a way of obtaining lessons and self-understanding. We first must seek to be free from the oppressive chains of society and the Church by empowering ourselves and seeing that there is no harm in pleasure, then we must free ourselves from our bodies and realize that the material is not everything. This is also freedom from the ego, which restrains us and limits us, making us filled with illusions. To separate from this is to begin the path towards transcendence and true empowerment.
