Occult and Esoteric Traditions

Occult and esoteric traditions refer to spiritual and philosophical practices that explore hidden knowledge and truths behind reality. "Occult" often involves secret rituals or teachings believed to unlock deeper understanding of the universe, while "esoteric" focuses on wisdom accessible only to a select few, emphasizing personal spiritual growth. These traditions draw from various religions, including Western mysticism, Gnosticism, Kabbalah, and Eastern philosophies, aiming to connect individuals with the divine or the cosmos through meditation, alchemy, astrology, and other practices. Both traditions invite seekers to look beyond surface reality to uncover profound insights into existence and spirituality.
