In regards to understanding the essentials of Hermetic Philosophy, which composes probably one of the biggest foundations of Western Esotericism, the book I would recommend biofoids read is titled The Kybalion.
You can find a PDF of the book here, but it is a book I consider essential reading in terms of understanding basic Magick theory, and does compose the foundation of Alchemy. You may be familiar with some principals of this book with the new age book The Secret, which presents a bastarized version of some laws in this book for middle aged white women. I haven't read it. We are going to be reading and studying the "Secret book" that The Secret was based on.
In order to understand the fundamentals of foid magick, we need to understand Magick theory, which means we need to learn the basic principals of Magick.

It's a short reading, only 114 pages, I consider this essential reading and you won't be disappointed. I'll be able to answer any questions to the best of my ability.
I'm reposting this, so we have a place for discussion and I can answer questions and pin this.

Let me hit you with a little something from an even better book: The Bible
Don't throw your pearls (ancient esoteric wisdom) before swine (foids)

You do know that most modern Christian Occultism and mysticism is based on Hermeticism?
They don't really contradict, and studying Hermetic Philosophy will help you grasp some esoteric secrets in the Bible eventually. If you want to understand the Bible and be able to get some of the hidden meanings and secrets, you need to know the natural and spiritual laws of the universe.

The Bible is censored up the wazoo, and Genesis and potentially the first few books are written from a polythesistic perspective with approximately 10 different names for God, which seem to match individual Gods in Canaanite mythology, which were all translated to Lord eventually. The whole Garden of Eden story is adopted from a myth taken from Sumerian mythology.
Just by reading it in a Hebrew interlinear translation and learning some basic Kabbalah, you learn how much it is censored. The first few books have numerous Gods and aren't monotheistic.
Reading the bible in it's original translation it's actually polythesistic, an apt translation for Elohim, the Creator God, is "Gods and Goddesses" because the word has both Masculine and Feminine suffixes. If you want to take a monotheism approach like the Jewish mystics, it means God is androgynous and God is both Masculine and Feminine, and would definitely trigger chuds.

!actualbiofoids See my above paragraph. The first few books in the Bible are polytheistic when reading in Hebrew but it was censored to turn all 10+ different names for God, which correspond to Caananite Gods to just "Lord". It's actually a hidden secret.

Basically it suggests that either
s are valid, or there is more than one God.
