Magick Matters
"Summoning Azazel" by Jordan Tyler Quinn Farkas
"It's a good book on an experience of what NOT to do when calling a non-physical entity. Even though it has a proper ritual layout in it. Read it before summoning any being!

In Summoning Azazel American indie author Jordan Tyler Quinn Farkas recounts his personal experiences with a powerful and ancient entity.

“Dark Mirrors: Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology” by Andrei A. Orlov

"Dark Mirrors: Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology" by Andrei A. Orlov
"Dark Mirrors is a wide-ranging study of two central figures in early Jewish demonology—the fallen angels Azazel and Satanael. Andrei A. Orlov explores the mediating role of these paradigmatic celestial rebels in the development of Jewish demonological traditions from Second Temple apocalypticism to later Jewish mysticism, such as that of the Hekhalot and Shi'ur Qomah materials.

Orlov traces the origins of Azazel and Satanael to different and competing mythologies of evil, one to the Fall in the Garden of Eden, the other to the revolt of angels in the antediluvian period. Although Azazel and Satanael are initially representatives of rival...>>

"Evidence for Psi: Thirteen Empirical Research Reports" edited by Damien Broderick and Ben Goertzel (incomplete)
"Psi is the term used by researchers for a variety of demonstrable but elusive psychic phenomena. This collection of essays provides a detailed survey of the evidence for psi at the level of scientific examination. Key features of apparent psi phenomena are reviewed, including precognition and remote perception (knowledge of future or distant events that cannot be inferred from present information), presentiment (physiological responses to stimuli that have not yet occurred), the effects of human emotions on globally dispersed machines, the possible impact of local sidereal time on psi performance, and the familiar feeling of knowing who is calling on the phone. Special attention is given to those phenomena that make it difficult for...>>
