Greetings to all

I typed long post but then I saw theres char limit, my story is long, so I wont write a novel, shortly:
Question is, before I get my hands on AB, where do I start? I've been reading Thot's material, and read Kabalyon.

I appreciate any kind of guidance.

Are you new to occultism?

Welcome to the forum!

I've been lurking for long time on this forum, reading from time to time what I can, but yes I am new. Thank you for responding.

Have a nice day!

Thank you, you aswell.

Welcome to the community.

Welcome!

Can’t say there’s an easy answer on where to start. Aside from the Asetian Bible, of course. I’d recommend that, but maybe your journey is different.

Just stay away from anyone who sells fangs please.

Thanks for the warm welcome Jonathan.
Troublemaker don't worry, Im not here seeking immortal body while running 100km/h drinking blood of high school girls, or 10 minute ritual to becoming a vampire
I just want to learn more. More about myself. More about all.

Let's sell fangs!

I'm not serious, if anything.

I would be deeply grateful if any of the experienced members can point me in some kind of direction. There is a lot of material online, some guidelines would be much appreciated.

Ever read Three Books of Occult Philosophy - Agrippa? That’s not a great one for beginners yet it’s still interesting. You may also like Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce. Alternatively, you could start on the Egyptian, Norse culture or both of them and begin studying that so you can get a good sense of the beings that are worked with.
Just throwing some things out there.
You should try the AB if you haven’t. That’s where I started.

I should add that the Asetian Bible isn’t traditionally recommended for absolute newcomers, but I find that many students who are strongly drawn to it do look into it rather soon.

I will check them out, haven't heard of those books.
I've been studying mostly Egyptian culture, and a bit of Norse, so I will continue doing that and will check out those books before I get my hands on AB. Thank you!

The Asetian Bible is indeed the best place to start as others recommended.

I will try getting it as soon as I can, I know its always highly recommended.

If you have access to order from Barnes & Noble or even Amazon, there is this absolutely beautiful fine-quality book on the Norse culture. I believe it is part of their collectors series, at quite a reasonable price. It is called Tales of Norse Mythology, by H.A Guerber.

There’s nothing quite like holding a really nice quality book, so you might really appreciate it.

Thanks again. Any particular order you recommend reading books you suggested to me?

Welcome .

I recommend reading that which calls to you most first. Consider asking yourself which concepts you are most interested in learning about at this point, and the type of knowledge you are looking for.

In addition, through the Asetian Bible and Book of Orion I think it inspires you with a lot of different directions to go in. It gives you a lot of “homework” in a way. For example, when I began studying the Book of Orion it introduced me to the Kabbalah and tarot, which are two huge areas you could explore as well and they are tightly interconnected.

I really really do appreciate the warm welcome and all the suggestions.
Em hotep, brothers and sisters.

On top of the books already suggested there is also another recent thread started on books worth reading.

The idea is that maybe it can become a compilation contributed to by an array of members.
