Recommendations for a beginner

Hello, new member here, new to this whole thing too. I was told to seek help on forums and so here I am.

you can't start a journey without at least some idea of where you want to end up, otherwise you're just wandering

Thanks for the reply. Its true i dont have a clear cut goal of what im trying to achieve, i am mostly just really interested in this whole complex thing. I was hoping to start with some foundational material, basic knowledge that is considered essential. Perhaps a base like that would allow me to shape a picture of what i should be aiming for? I really am green in this topic as i didnt know which book is good to read and which isnt. The person above shared a thread though so i might just follow the advice there

I think the best first thing to do for anyone looking to explore the mystical side of things is to start by developing a consistent meditation practice, so were I in your shoes, I would start with that

It really depends on what you're interested in. I started my journey with Liber Null by Peter Carroll because it piqued my interest. Before that I just dabbled in various systems and interests before anything really jumped out at me.
