A great bibliography for hermetic and theurgic writers ranging from ancient Greek mystery religions up to modern New Age.
I'm probably not of the same temperament as most of the subjects of this book, but the absolute flood of names, references, and suggested readings throughout is a heartily welcome resource, a great addition to the bookshelf.
