After finishing Eden and finding out that most of the main characters based on Gnostic mythology, I really got interested in it. What's the best way to get into it and is it hard? I have almost no /lit/ knowledge and can read in English and German. Thanks.

John Lamb Lash is a self-educated free-lance scholar and author who combines studies and experimental mysticism to teach directive mythology. He is a leading exponent of the power of myth to direct individual experience and drive historical events over the long term. On metahistory.org, he presents a radical revision of Gnosticism, with original commentaries on the Nag Hammadi codices

OP here, I know I might sound like a turboautist, but it kinda feels off if I want to learn about Gnosticism and people recommend books from 20th century authors. Still I copied all books and authors names and gonna check 'em later.
