These and picrel (some of the tiny books in the chart are bad, use your discretion).

Start with the academic secondary literature, then the Traditionalist School, and then the primary sources.

Most of the contents of the charts posted here are garbage (Shankara chart is the exception). Some might have literally just a few decent primary texts but those are there to justify a deviant and degenerate spirituality; it does not become hermeticism anymore but rather mere vulgar occultism.
Use this chart as a correction. Now, it's not perfect either; ignore the tiny books on the sides. They're useless excretions. But the fact is: if you want to enter esotericism, the best place to start is with the academics, such as Hanegraff and Faivre. From there, read the Traditionalist School for more insight, principally Guénon and Evola. After that, finally engage with the primary sources of esoteric traditions and nothing else.
Anything from the Age of "Enlightenment" onward is simply a perversion that slips into an inversion and at the very best you will be wasting your time with a fraud. A worse possibility is that you put your very soul in mortal danger; you would go actually insane, as in paranoid schizophrenia, and your subtle body will completely disintegrate leaving you totally open to demonic attacks and possession and you will in the end be destroyed. There is nothing to gain from such enterprise but direct knowledge of damnation.

Does anyone have one of those "start with the greeks" type of infographs for Jung? I want to get in to him after reading the Gnostic Jung and the Seven Sermons to the Dead.
My Faustian spirit is ready.

Second chart while I'm at it. This stuff is all academic so it's more accurate on the facts.

Have you looked at the books in this chart?
