I'm looking for some books to begin in esoteric and atavistic matters.

Atavistic generally refers to biological throwbacks like a kid with a tail

Start with the Hermetica, it's basically the foundation of Wetsern esotericism

>Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa - Three Books of Occult Philosophy
>Julius Evola - Introduction to Magic Vol.1, 2
>Corpus Hermeticum
Also I'd reccomend looking into Marsilio Ficino who translated and singlehandedly revived most of Western Esotericsim during the renaissance.
His De Vita Libri Tres is a really comfy ten page read - pic related is his super wholesome preface.
Also Ficino uses Neoplatonism and Thomism to give good metaphysical/ontological framework for the esoteric.
Reading the Gita & Upanishads isn't a bad idea either.
Dion Fortune and Evelyn Underhill are pretty good too. Stay away from Cr*wley, Gnosticism and other cringe faggots and you'll have a good time.

Oh yea and ignore the schi/x/os
Their recommendations are largely retarded - wicca, gnosticism and satanism are for fags
Anything that intertwines with the Neoplatonic, Hermetic and Hindu traditions are your best bets
Christianity can be ok, like with Ficino, or Meister Eckhart - Iambichlius is a good read too on the note of Neoplatonism and theurgy
And look into the Quadrivium/Arithmetical Theology
