I forgot to add this for you. The Pythagorean Sourcebook and Library. Its one of the better books on old Greek Metaphysics that gave rise to western hermeneutic philosophy and neo-Platonic magick. Its a fun sort of book, comprised of essays on and translations of his work. Wonderful intro to the field and it only takes a little creativity to apply it to magick.
--------------------
Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion.... We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything and which is everything.... The light of [this] self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light. This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects.
-Sage Vasishtha
