The reading list below is a recommendation to read only. I am not suggesting that if you want to learn Stav you have to be versed in all of the following books. If you enjoy mythology and would like to learn Stav, this will help to gain a better understanding. I do not recognize these books as bibles, or without errors, they are to read, gain a better understanding and enjoy. There are so many more that could be listed, I may add more at another time. 

Several of these books show ASIN#'s next to them, they are limited in availability from Amazon.com. You can put in an order for a used copy when it becomes available. I personally have bought several in this manner and have been pleased with my order, usually filled within 8 weeks time.
