>>24863860Yeah but what's a good read order?
>>24863820>Plotinus, Enneads>Iambichus, Theurgy and the Soul>Iambichus, De Anima>Iambichus, De Mysteriis>Proclus, The Elements of Theology>Sallust, On the Gods and the World>Chaldean Oracles>The Emerald Tablet>Corpus HermeticumRead these and you will become a theurgist
>>24863867Thanks anon, time to start wizardmaxxing
>>24863820Go backwards from Plethon, Mirandola and Ficino.
>>24863874Also listen to dungeon synth
>>24863874Keep us posted Wizanon
>>24863867To add to this, consider reading Porphyry's Isagoge then at the minimum select works of Aristotle's Oreganon, Physics, and Metaphysics. Plotinus assumes you're familiar with and uses Peripatetic terminology throughout the Enneads. You'll be thoroughly lost without at least some familiarization with Aristotle's jargon.>Emerald Tabletskip>Chaldean OraclesSpecifically Proclus' commentary, if only because the full Chaldean Oracles is lost.>SallustRead before Plotinus to get a high level overview of Neoplatonism. This is a very short text.>IamblichusI suggest reading Gregory Shaw's Theurgy and the Soul before tackling Iamblichus since he's a difficult thinker.
