Heard those were serious works for suicidal individuals, but I'm studying the Black raven by Faust right now. Having problems, the edition transcribed the sigils and pentacles extremely badly and It'll probably take me hours to learn how to properly copy them (much less understand how I can draw power and put concentration in them). Obviously I am not insane for the Grand Grimoire (some people claim they have had bad experiences by just sleeping next to it), but just curious on whether anybody here actually studied them.
I have studied The Lesser Key Of Solomon (the complete one including the arte goetia, the art theurgia goetia, the art pauline, the almadel art, and the ars notoria. Note- the last two are very difficult to use), The Greater Key Of Solomon, The Grimoire of Armadel, and The Sacred Magick of Abremelin.
