Salutations to all.I would firstly like to thank Ashnook who allowed me to start this discussion in this forum.I really appreciate it.

i am currently in the process of translating many old(500 - 800 years) texts on tantra and eastern magick and even older ones which have been written in palm leaf manuscripts. i have had the good fortune of seeing them while travelling and getting to know many gurus throughout the himalaya region and the surrounding temples and monastries.Though some did not allow me to see all of their private collections,most of them were gracious enough and allowed me to.i am quite astonished at the amount of magickal work that there has been in these material such as the various summoning methods,invocations evokations,sigils,the proper way to make talismans,how to summon ancient spirits into physical presence and much more.

i am looking to compile all the best information in these texts and manuscripts and write out a fully layed Grimoire,a magickal book of working on ancient eastern tantrik and hindu magick.But there is so much information that i do not know for sure what readers would really like to see in a good grimoire.therefore i would appreciate it if you young ones could give me suggestions and advice on what you look for in a good grimoire and what you would like to be included in a grimoire,and what in your opinion is the most important parts that have to be included in it.thank you in advance.

In any grimoire or magickal handbook, I think it is important to have a set goal or principle to which the book works toward. What does the grimoire do for me that others can not? I like the "taste" of the munich handbook, but certainly the goetia can roughly produce the same desired results. There is nothing which REALLY sets them apart because both are centered upon experimentation with evokation of material goods (or the illusion of material goods.) I am not trying to sound preachy at all, as certainly I have used both for such ends, only noting that the grimoires that really catch my eye and focus are those who have some underlying principle which one can "grasp on to" as to have footing for the rest of the work.
