A. The Goetia is the closest you're going to get to a worthwhile book on demons themselves. Anything else is fear-inspired babble and is, generally, impractical, false and useless as anything other than entertainment. However, it's still fairly... eh. I wouldn't use it. It's entirely disrespectful and abusive towards the demons, and that's not good. The OFS demonolatry site gives the following books as recommended reading, though, so maybe they're decent: The Complete Book of Demonlatry, S. Connolly Goetic Demonolatry, Ellen Purswell Demonolatry Rites, S. Connolly Good luck... and do be careful. :P I'm not sure why you want the books, but it's nothing to toy around with, for good or for ill. Cheers.

Why is it important to learn literature?
Q. I agree that it is important, but I want to hear what people who study literature have to say. What makes literature important for everyone to learn in school?
Asked by Surely Funke - Tue Aug 11 02:21:16 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The literature of a country is part of its heritage. It's as important for you to be in touch with your country's heritage, as it is to keep in touch with your family and relatives. We study Shakespeare, because he has something important to say about human nature, the human condition, but also because it is written in very beautiful language. The story of Romeo and Juliet is a timeless story, which has evoked a response in every generation since it was written. We respond to literature in an emotional or intellectual way. The more we are exposed, the more we respond. Studying literature also exercises our brains, and makes us think for ourselves.

A. The wonderful, Age of Reason was a time where philosophers placed an emphasis on reason as the best and ultimate method for learning. It explored issues in law and politics and education, while attacking social injustices and ignorance and tyranny. Could we ever come back to this time? This is a period where some many advances occur. Nowadays the advances occur in the gaming industry. (I hope you're purchasing that slim PS3 version that's coming out...do you want to be a fatty in the Wii crowd?) Voltaire is probably the most well-known figure of this time. He fought against bigotry and intolerance...and promoted the most rationalistic thoughts through his literary skills... If there is ever a book I could recommend, it'd be Candide. [cont.]

A. History is a retelling of facts about events that happened. Literature is something that you can read. It doesn't have to be based in the time period it is written, but when it is it provides important insights to how people lived, thought, and their culture. Literature is often fiction, where history is supposed to be absolutely factual.

A. Hi there, Usually, I read complicate novels several times when I really like them. That way, I can grasp a new shade of meaning every time I go through the text. Sometimes I mark parts that particularly struck me, and then compare them. For example, I've read "Pride and Prejudice" about fifteen times, wrote a paper on it for university, and now I believe that I comprehend the largest part of it. Macbeth, for instance, needed around twenty reads, immense note-taking, a dictionary, and several stagings to really get the point. I do not believe that literature is necessarily an age thing. Some of my students (aged 16/17/18) have a good grasp of literature, and can draw from many different mental resources to understand literary material.… [cont.]
