If you want to read a collection of excellent books that I myself have converted into e-book format, please visit my very own e-library by clicking on the link below.
The books are available in HTML, PDF, and MS Word formats. I hope you will check them out, because they are all very interesting, and definitely worth the reading.
Also, if you want, download any of these books that I borrowed from other Internet libraries. (They all are in zip file format) But, I warn you, they're not very tidy and thy're not formatted in the same style as the books in my Public Library.
MALLEUS MALEFICARUM ("The Witches Hammer") is a Middle Ages book written by two Dominican monks named Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger. It was written during the great witch hunts of the 15th century and it served as a guidebook for Inquisitors during the Inquisition. The book was designed to aid them in the identification, prosecution, and dispatching of so-called witches and warlocks.
COMPENDIUM MALEFICARUM was written by Francesco Maria Guazzo. It was the ultimate guide for beginning demonologists in the 17th century. The book not only gives an account of witch prosecution, but also provides a glimpse of the Christian view of witchcraft during the early 17th century. I myself do not have this book to download, but by going to the website that I've linked to, you can pretty much find out everything about this book, there are even copies of the original woodcut illustrations.
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD was a papyrus scroll written in Ancient Egypt, and it was put in the graves of mummies. This scroll was meant to help the deceased during their perilous journey through the underworld. It also was a guide for priests during the process of embalming the mummy.
In 1881, a young French anti-clericalist named Gabriel-Antoine Jogand-Pages was made a Freemason. Within a year, he resigned, converted to
Catholicism, and began one of the most famous frauds in the history of Occultism. Under the pseudonym of Leo Taxil, Jogand published a number of books and articles in which he "proved" that Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, and other similar organizations were satanic in nature, and posed a dire threat to Christian European civilization. According to Taxil, all such organizations were secretly controlled by the mysterious "Order of the Palladium," a ruthless and secretive body within the heart of Freemasonry, which worshipped the Devil with inhuman rites and received commands directly from the Prince of Darkness himself. In the end, when he was finally arrested by the church, Taxil himself openly admitted that all his writings were a hoax and a monumental joke. Other books that he wrote (not about Freemasonry) are the ones that I have for you to download.
