Where I should start reading?

New Magician Help & Introductions
1

as we all know the occult and the different teaching

but as I understand every thing has started with the golden dawn
well my question is simple what book should I start with?

I have read the practical self defense from cover to cover
I started to read Karlsson cabala qlipoth and gotiec magic.

and I have the books of thelma (this so hard read)
in my research I often coming across with Israel Regardie
and I see he has tons of books(or they are just different versions )

any advice would be appreciated

We have a lot of thread with book recommendations including ones for beginners.

Most of them recommend more than one.

But I had to tell my beginner self to pick only one book to read right now it would be *Become a Living God* by E.A. Koetting

It’s the newer and better version of his older mail order course (Ordo Ascensum Aetrynalis) revamped and has video courses to go with it. It teaches you everything soup to nuts with no fluff. You can get right into any other book and know where you are with this under your belt.

The Mystical Qabalah, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, and Prometheus Rising are great places to start.
