I've been reading The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly Hall. It's long and feels a little disorganised when you're reading on a Kindle, but it makes some fantastic connections and goes into detail about almost everything. Give it a shot, but I don't know what to suggest to you if it's too heavy.

Which mysticism do you want to be introduced to?

>>8485720
this, that's a really vague and broad subject

>>8485720
I don't even know how many there are.

>>8485729
You have Catholic mysticism, you have Eastern Orthodox mysticism, you have Buddhist and Hindu mysticism, Hindu is an amalgamation of pagan religions so they probably have a few types too, you have occult shit, hermeneutics and more.

>>8485734
I'm interested in all of them.

>>8485737
The Bible for starters.

Not OP but what are some good introductory books on alchemy and hermeticism?

>>8485695
Jung.

Start with "Man and his symbols"
Continue to "Modern man in search of a soul"
Then Archetypes and Aion, memories dreams reflections, then the red book. Then be disappointed with yourself for spending so much time and energy on something so unproductive.

You don't. It into yous.
