Does anyone know of where I could get a compilation of the The Apocalyptic Texts? I want to extract ideas from the texts to make my witch. Thanks!

The Apocalyptic Texts are Religious texts that are infamously known for being banned from the bible. They're known for describing hell in more detail and others things such as sin.

you might mean the apocrypha.
That might be what he thinks he means.. but judging by what he says he's looking for it definately won't be.
He'll get more satisfaction perhaps from the Satanic Bible (it's a schlocky shock thing rather than being genuine, but still) or I'd recommend reviewing Infero.
Quite alot of what people assume are biblical origins of the depictions of hell and sin are really just Dante's invention.

Most of it is from Dante.
I did not think it would help him much for a witch, but I have been wrong before and since I was unsure of just what he wanted I thought to rather point it out than to judge why.
This might give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
I want the texts because I'm thinking of making a tiefling witch that punishes the damned. My character is going to an offspring of satan and a judge of who deserves to suffer.
It's hidden esoterica knowledgy stuff, not meant for the uninitiated.

Same thing I pointed out. The Nag Hammadi library, which I believe several Gnostic websites have the text, includes those apocalyptic prose. They form part of the apocrypha which are sometimes called "the lost books of the bible." They were not so much lost as denounced and forgotten. Copies were found in an ancient trash dump and have been painstakingly pieced back together. the link I provided above for the book above from amazon includes those and other texts that were still being used in the Coptic church but are mainly unknown in the European churchs.

I'm starting to realize this stuff might be over my head.
I would enjoy it if old manuscripts hinted at quantum mechanics, and
provide us with clues to solve the mysteries this theory leaves us with.
