Read the stuff by G.R.S. Mead

The answers above, the corpus hermeticum, mead and by extension Neoplatonic lit you can find, the emerald tablets are all the correct choice, but the thing is you really should get a grounding in this whole area because hermeticism is not just these, but was always a mingling of Neoplatonic, Christian, Jewish, Egyptian, folk Hellenic and so forth sources, meaning you should study everyone from The pre-socratics to the neoplatonists especially Plotinus, you should study the magical lit such as the PGM, you should study the Bible, you should read the syncretic lit whether ficino, pico, Agrippa, Paracelsus etc, you should not see this and alchemy as separate things, thus the various alchemical lit of Paracelsus, Boehme, thomas vaughan and so forth are all important, lit such as the chymical wedding ought be read. If you desire I will post a reading list a friend of mine compiled which is partially based on a list of literature I had him read, to which he augmented via being in the martinist order and adding their recommendations and then adding the recommendations of the AA, along with various other groups he can as affiliation with, its a good list of basics.

>the chymical wedding
I've read from a pretty scathing criticism of Yates that this is not at all a Rosicrucian or even an alchemical text but an elaborate (if misread, even by contemporaries) satire

Whomever says it is using this name or saying they are translating something he wrote or anything is conning you to buy entry-level, new-age, cheap spirituality. Alas, it is very effective, because everyone is that spiritually shallow and that's enough to tilt you off to the demoralization pits.
