Esoteric traditions

Esoteric traditions refer to spiritual or philosophical systems that seek hidden or deeper meanings beyond mainstream beliefs. These traditions often involve complex symbolism, rituals, and teachings accessible only to a select group of initiates. They emphasize inner knowledge and personal transformation, exploring themes like the nature of existence, the cosmos, and the self. Esoteric practices can be found in various cultures, religions, and movements, such as Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and mystical branches of major religions. Their goal is often spiritual enlightenment and understanding the interconnectedness of all things.
