LOL Star, that's all very true, I agree completely with your post.
As for authors, I like Agrippa and anything old. Nothing new, since it's nothing new really. The old books explain it all, and the new authors just try to break it down in todays terms. Which ultimately ruins the original message.
For example Tysons edition of the three books of occult philosophy actually distorts the old book. An easy example to look up, he quotes in his notes that spirits are the mediators between god and man, when in actuality the original quote is that daemons are the mediators. That's the first message he distorts, and throws off would-be researchers to believe spirits in general are good, but makes no mention of daemons.
