What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

The genres for the book I am looking for is non-fiction, occult, magic, witchcraft and possibly angels and demons. I obviously cannot remember the name of the book, but feel it had 'companion' or 'complete' in the title. The book lists the Judeo-christian names of angels and demons and gives a description of how they appear and what they do (such as a particular demon who answers all questions truthfully). It also has listings for historical magicians or supposed practitioners of magic (such as Crowley, Bacon and St. Germaine), zodiac signs, planets and a listing of herbs and their properties.

I read this book about five years ago in an Australian library and, after moving back to the area, found that they no longer carry the book. I cannot remember if it was hardback or paperback, though I think it was hard, but the book was very thick.

I have been looking for the book for the past three years but have had no luck. I welcome and appreciate any assistance and feedback I can receive.

I loaned this book with 'The Complete Dictionary of Symbols : In Myth, Art and Literature' by Jack Tresidder and they were on the same shelf. I have tried seeking this book by searching for keywords related to the book by Mr. Tresidder but have come up with nothing, as this dictionary is considered historical satire and fiction on some sites and non-fiction and philosophical commentary on others.

A guess - The Magician's Companion: A Practical and Encyclopedic Guide to Magical and Religious Symbolism by Bill Whitcomb?

A Dictionary of Angels: Including the Fallen Angels

Hello,

Kym, while that looks like an interesting book, alas it is not the one I am looking for.

Kris, I have adjusted the topic header to include the genre but, as this is a book that lists many things, there can be no actual 'plot'. I do not use mobile devices; did I do something that required the use of one?

Lou; thank you for the suggestion but that is not it either.

I thought about some other details and have edited my original post to include them.

Thank you again for the suggestions.

Thanks for adding details to the topic header. The "edit" link appears on the desktop site - not the mobile site or app.

Thank you, Lou and Kym, for your assistance. I was able to solve the name of the book by watching a movie and, using some of the terms in it, backtracked to the book I was looking for. I marked this as 'Solved' already; take care.

Glad you found your book, Chet. What's the title and author?

The Encyclopedia of Magic and Magicians by T. A. Waters
