Bibliography
The following books and links were indispensable to a full understanding of this and similar projects. The list is taken from an early Oregon's Uuniversitas Occidentis document which outlines the reading, study and praxis requirements for the fraternal order that would come to be called the Companions of the Glyph. The first list describes those materials with which a Celebrant must be familiar for use in the Outer Hall. The second list corresponds to the work of the Middle Hall. There is no definitive list for Inner Hall initiates. A thorough perusal of these works should bring the curious up to speed on what we are up to.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
Plotinus
Paracelsus' Coelum Philosphorum and The Archidoxies of Magic
These folks at Philosphers of Nature intrigue us. Their offerings are very much in tune with our own magickal philosophy and so we would recommend their perusal highly. At times, it seems as tho' Jean Dubuis has already said our thoughts for us (or at least for Frater A). Of particular interest is his introductory material which preceeds parts
1,
2 and
3 of his organization's fundamental lecture series.

It's hard to know what Neoplatonism and gnosticism is about without some background provided by the preserved early works of Roman and Greek Christian fathers. Must read!
