Research Resources

research resources

The Eye - An internet library of all sorts of things, not just occult books, but its got a good assortment of those.

PDF drive - it has like, over a million free pdfs. no signup or anything. they got some good occult books there

Academia.edu - I found a link to Azoetia there, and there are likely more occult books available, but unfortunately you have to sign up. LOTS of free books tho

Grimoire Encyclopedia - the shriveled monkey's paw that is grimoire magic. contains spells and spirits from the actual grimoires themselves, and sorts them all very nicely.

Esoterica Archives - it's got that old-internet type vibe, and i quite like it. crazy amount of occult books here, a lot of the grimoires from Grimoire Encyclopedia can be read online here.

Holybooks - its like Esoterica Archives, but with an updated forum feel. People add in the pdfs themselves, like PDF Drive. it's got a wide array of different religious texts

l-o-r-e - a sadly abandoned website now, all about the folklore of food. contains quite a few good recipes, if you want em. this website makes me hungry

pantheon - contains numerous articles on folklore all around the world

theoi - everyone knows about this, right? greek mythology, absolutely excellent.

here's an edible flower chart, yknow, just incase

pinecone.pub - don't hear much about this one anymore, but i quite like it still. good.. inspiration

sigilscribe - it makes sigils for you

scihuß - iirc it moves domains every so often, but its an excellent resource for academic papers.

biblestudytools (psalms) - i find that this format makes it easy to find the specific psalms you want much faster, yknow, for you bastards who don't have a book on hand ;p

planetaryhours.net - calculates the planetary hours for you, for you magicians and witches alike who can't do it by hand

and of course, my favorite, google.com, (or duckduckgo, if you're pirating or just hate google.)

24 April 2025

Exercised for the first time in years yesterday and today I'm paying the price of that negligence 😐 I have a test (crystallochem) and a final (chem tech seminar) next week but I'm feeling all right about both, did some studying for the latter this morning. April has been kind of dragging on - the whole semester has, actually - but I'm not upset about it: I'm in no hurry to graduate lol.

Finished reading Rouge earlier this week and I can easily say Mona Awad never disappoints. She has to be one of my favorite authors. My current read is pictured here and so far it's been very promising too! Feels a little like Jane Austen but funnier and more serious simultaneously. You can find me on storygraph btw :) I'm @/erbium there 🧪
