If I may so humly interject my book selection with regards to the topic of Hermetics...
Franz Bardon is indeed a MUST have for anyone who wishes to understand the practical aspects of Hermetics but in my honest oppinion I feel he may have failed to miss out on the theoretical aspects of the study therefore the here is what I can offer.. Some of them can be found on line via PDF others need to be hunted down for their dead tree versions
1) The Emerald Tablets by Dennis William Hauck :SHows us the relationship between Spiritual Alchemy and Hermetics
2) The Kyballion: By the Three Initiates: this is on PDF for sure. shows us the practical aspects of the Understanding of Hermetic THeory
3) The Corpus Hermeticum: A historical classic none the less but difficult for modern minds to grasp in totality due to its elusiveness
4) The Kaballah Experience by Naiomi Ozaniec: Best describes the relationship between the Kaballah and HErmetics
5) THe True and Invisible Rosicrucian ORder: By Paul Foster Case: Just like the Kaballah experience but in terms of Rosicruciansm
6) The Complete Golden Dawn: THe Magickal system employed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden dawn in the early 1900
hope this helps you all
