I'm new to Neoplatonism myself. (I also wish this sub was more active so it's a nice coincidence that you posted...)

Anyway, after Thomas Taylor's Platonic Philospher's Creed which outlines the core beliefs of Neoplatonism, I'm moving on to Taylor's translation of Sallustius' On the Gods, then either his Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato followed by his translation of (and introduction to) Proclus' On the Theology of Plato, or vice versa. Or something like that :) Those are all available online for free and it's nice to see Neoplatonism continuing into more modern times through Taylor.

Since I like to read about something at the same time I'm reading it, I'm going to read Thomas Whitaker's The Neoplatonists: A Study in the History of Hellenism.

After that I'm going on to Plotinus... and probably Guthrie's Plotinus.

One thing I should mention is that I became interested in Neoplatonism because of my Hellenic Polytheism combined with monistic idealism. A good introduction to monistic idealism (the philosophical position that everything is in one consciousness or mind (nous)) is Bernardo Kastrup's recent book, Why Materialism is Baloney. A good author on Hellenic religion is Karl Kerenyi, his Gods of the Greeks is excellent.

In general the http://www.platonic-philosophy.org/ site looks like a good resource as well. There's also an International Society for Neoplatonic Studies, and the Prometheus Trust has files to download as well.

Anyway, enjoy your studies!

whatsthat supposed to mean? Are you threatening me? Is that some sort of threat?

Got this for 2.07$ last night.
The Titus Burckhardt book "Alchemy: Science of the Cosmos, Science of the Soul" actually has a lot of Byzantine wisdom as well. I'm 80 pages into it.
