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.

Salutations to all.appreciate all your comments so far and i will take note of all of them when writing the book out.do give me more of your thoughts so i get a clearer vision of what is needed.i am currently in two minds to whether write a full blown grimoire with every single concept and ritual explained whether good or evil and let the decison rest in the hands of the user or to hold back some information that might not be safe for the new practitioner.or i might just include certain "blinds" in the system as simon did and let the seasoned practitioner get to them as they grow.

there are certain manuscripts i was allowed to read but not write down as they dealth with calling upon certain entities of quesionable nature such as certain rakshashas and djinns that have not been evoked in centuries or had been slain by some of the hindu dieties such as durga and kali in their physical form but are still in a "dreamlike state" in an astral sense.i do not think it wise to give the instrutions to these beings to a new user,but i also do not agree with the gurus who would rather let important knowledge disappear as the manuscripts are all in dilapidating conditions and they will break down to dust in a few more years..
