My recommendation is always actually to stay away from any resource to begin with, and ask yourself, how would you define the magic that you want to produce or wield?
Because once you've read an opinion of how it should work, and you've accepted that as your framework of mind whenever discussing magical items with yourself, you cease to have the chance to explore the magic of you instead of the magic of someone else. That's why Crowley got so pissed at Israel, because he wrote down every tidbit he could try to wry out of Crow and then released them as books, producing the cult family tree line of the Golden Dawn.
Or as written from the same idea but a more scientific perspective, you are priming yourself as to what it could and will be if you read somebody elses take on what it should mean to do such and such, or what it should mean to procure such effect from such an action / intent.

Liber Null and Psychonaut was my introduction and I think its perfect for that

Some good suggestions here but if you are an absolute beginner I would recommend The Western Esoteric Traditions: A Historical Introduction by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke.
