Recently I have begun reading into Western Esotericism (not Kabbalah) as well as buddhist mysticism and occultism. I've been reading some of Evola's works on occultism, but feel as though I am only scratching the surface. Are there any /lit or /pol reading lists?

>> No.15217957

I Fuckning hate Freud so much, of course he would be against something that has soul and tradation and instead promote soulless sex philosophy which has stunk our society.

Do you want to learn about history or about the occult? The man had a mad collection of old alchemy manuscripts. Esotericism was his life.

Yes - because getting into occultism is such a good idea, and not warned about in any close at hand resources.

What this shows is that F. was particularily aware of what domain he was trading.

what the fuck is even the deal with the occult. I realize that asking this question is pointless due to the nature of the subject but seriously, I cant tell if its just a giant larp or what is going on

The Bible. Nobody writing esoterica is decipherable without a thorough knowledge of scripture.

im with you there. I cannot conceptually grasp what any of this is about, which makes it so mesmerizing and intriguing.
