>>18285486 is sort of right, the Greeks form the basis of occult thought, but I don't know if that's where you should start. A common starting point is "Prometheus Rising" followed by "Secret Teachings of All Ages", and decide where you want to go from there. Levi's occult history is a good start too.

Apparently you already are aware of Eliphas Levi so idk why you bother asking. 99% of occultismposters will only offer you inferior material. Go Read Evola's esoteric works, afaik his first esoteric circle was based in large part on Levi. Additionally, you can check out Neoplatonism since a lot of anons are mentioning the Greeks in this thread. It's basically an esoteric tradition.
