Which book of the key of solomon is better for beginners?

Hello everyone, im a new practitioner in the arts of esoterism, at the moment i have been reading and trying to understand the keys of solomons, and their books or lemegetons, im wondering if i could be able to use the third book “ars paulina” to invoke angels for wisdom and guidance or if its necesary to start from the first book “ars goetia” in order to advance in practices, im open to all advices u can give me.
im sorry if my english isnt correct as its not my native lenguage, thanks

From what I understand the books of Solomon are for demons…I have all 3 volumes as well. Just haven’t gotten to them yet. If you’re looking for angelic Magick practices, I highly recommend Raziels Paths of power Volume 1; 72 Angels of the Name

&

72 Angels of Magick

hi! thanks for replying… as i understand the keys of solomon includes the “ars goetia”, which is used to invoke demons, the " Ars Theurgia Goetia" which is used for non demonic spirits (which can be evil or not), the “Ars Paulina” which is divided in 2 segments, the first for the angels related to zodiac signs and the second used for angels according days and hours of the week, there is also “ars almadel” and “ars notoria”, used for angels of higher rank.

Ill check out that book aswell, as i would like to learn more from angelic practices

If you’re mostly looking for angelic magick, I’d check out The Gallery of Magick and The Power of Magick Publishing. They have grimoires on many different types of angels, including the 72 Shem angels, the angels of the 42 letter name (Angels of Alchemy), Archangels, and Angel Overlords.

The books contain modern magick that has been greatly clarified and simplified from the ancient source texts. I’m sure that you are very confused about how to actually go about doing magick if you’ve just been reading the old texts. These authors (and most modern authors) are all about practical magick that is easy to learn, but that you could work with for a lifetime.

If you want to explore demonic magick at some point, the above publishers, as well as BALG, carry such works as well.

Also try Archangels of Magick by Damon Brand, very powerful yet very simple, for the first ritual anyways.

Hmm yes that is very tricky… I don’t think you’ll have too many mistakes with his books though, they are very simple. And at least kindle also gives a dictionary that can help a bit.
