100 Articles on Estoric Knowledge & Philosophy Curated Publications List

Esoteric knowledge or philosophy is often lost through time as it becomes a fringe way of thinking, experiencing, and interacting with the world. Esoteric reading can open your mind to new forms of philosophy, thought, and practice. The idea of the esoteric and exoteric and ones interaction with the world are part of this body of knowledge.

Some related concepts include Romanticism, Buddhism, Kaji and healing, ritual, explanations of spirituality, and many more traditions and sources of esoteric theory. It is a certain form of ontology that is worthwhile to consider.
