Esoteric and Occult Traditions

This group holds esoteric and occult traditions: currents of Western spirituality concerned with hidden knowledge, correspondence and the inner transformation of the practitioner, often organised into orders and drawing on Hermeticism, Kabbalah, astrology and alchemy.

The browser will find the traditions the atlas classes here, from Hermeticism and Theosophy to the modern magical currents. The entries describe each as a body of teaching and practice, tracing its sources and history without adjudicating its claims.
