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.

That would be a great idea. but, if I may as much as I think blinds could come in handy they should be put in place specifically for evocation the spirits or divinities of a darker nature. I think the good beneficial ones shouldn't have the blinds seeing as they could help more the hurt the novice. I for one can't tell you how confusing its been trying to utilize the Necronomicom. I love appealing to Marduks names and Inanna as well, but some of the material in that volume is damned confusing. I know he put blinds in there to help protect the novice but still..... Lets take Inanna for example she is the Ultimate Goddess in my opinion. She shouldn't just be worked at night and the same goes for the other Gods as well. The dominant Elder Gods i believe should be called when needed night or day. Oh well, I'm detracting from the thread and I apologize. Just my thoughts if your planning on making the grimoire especially if its to be published. My opinion if your to use aggressive spirits/Gods, even dark spells, etc put blinds on those or atleast the banishing rituals necessary for the aspirants protection directly in front of them. But the positive Gods and spells, as well as those that help the aspirants evolutionary process, shouldn't have blinds as they are beneficial. Also please try to personalize it as I hate seeing the same rituals repeated over and over again just with a different author. I'm not saying they don't work but those methods make me think if I've bought one book I've bought them all and YOURS should be unique to you. So that I could pick it up and say," Thats the book that changed everything for me it's different and powerful." Sorry I didn't mean to rant. Good luck and I look forward to the book.
