This is a starter website initially set up as something of a hobby. It will feature reviews of a number of esoteric books and host a discussion forum about them, and other topics.
In the beginning it’s hard to see how the website, especially the forum, will be structured, so it’s likely things will change after a little time.
Registration and membership is to be free. There will be no money involved other than referral tips from Amazon if we link to books there.
Page topics envisioned will include …
What is esotericism?
Topics to have fun with:
Which is “better” – newer works or the ancient/medieval classics?
Is there such a thing as “popular” esotericism.
Why does esotericism exist? – and the perennial philosophy.
What are the major esoteric schools of thought? What do they have in common and how are they different?
What is the difference between knowledge and being?
How do the different esoteric paths appeal to different personality types?
Why do some people work alone? When is it a strength and when a weakness?
Why do most of the masters recommend working with a group? What are its benefits?
Since this is a website about books:
1. What is the best way to read an esoteric book?
2. What traps are involved in endless reading? – or endless ignorance?
