i have the encyclopedia from judika illes, its good for the little bit of extra information, like how you learn which people are included under watch of certain immortals and which people are looked for/by certain spirits...but there really isnt much other than that. Its a good read as itself, but for information i was a little bummed...but is it worth the buy?....yeah in my case i would say so just for the information :lol: it has given me a few immortals to look to working with without binding, but there isnt too much expansion on spirits that we already know here and have proper information on.

but yes would love to know what experienced members think of these authors and their books! it would be interesting as i am looking forward to finding the other books athene has mentioned as well!!

: I have Judika Illes encyclopedia.
It's a good reference book for Immortals but aside from that it doesn't match up to even CH's encyclopedia.

It'll be good when CH gets their encyclopedia finished. I'm really looking forward to that.

If you want to look up various entities that may not be listed in the current encyclopedia the best thing to do is look up various folklore from various contries and mythology.

Ireland, Scotland, Norse, Roman, Scandinavian, Japan, China, Aztec, North America, Africa, etc are all good places to look at.
It's best to get entities that you feel you resonate with and really want to keep rather than getting something for collecting. Don't collect an entity you are not comfortable with having in your household.

For instance, if you feel you resonate with fairies, and want to look up various fae, the best thing to do would be to research fae and irish and welsh mythology to see what kinds you're interested in. That's just an example.

When CH has their new encyclopedia up, hopefully it'll have the majority of these spirits listed.

Best Wishes!
