AEternitas, I'm starting to like you more and more.
Hermetic Magic wasn't my first book on the topic, but it was one of the best. Agrippa, Regardie, Mathers - I had read a bit on Hermeticism, but mainly on the GD style. Flowers expanded my horizons in the field - namely by illustrating how all the different streams blending to form Hermeticism as we know it. It sort of was the text that got me to finally "think outside the box" as it were. That aside, I have read the PGM... but what is the Leiden Papyrus? And who wrote Ancient Egyptian Magic and Divination? I'm interested in these texts now.
