if theres sufficient interest across related groups, id like to start a "mysticism" group to discuss comparative-historical training, practices, texts, philosophy, and history. plz post below if u might b interested!

by "mysticism" i mean those traditions generally found within religious movements that emphasize the attainment of altered states of consciousness and perception of hidden truth

including:
-taoist internal alchemy
-hindu/buddhist yoga & tantra
-sufi art
-jewish kabbalah
-gnostic & stoic discipline
-christian ecstasies & visions
-jungian depth psychology
-wicca ritual
-new age psychedelia
-new/emergent digital folk practices, like tulpamancy
-various magical/shamanistic/dream traditions
-and more!?

anyway, post below if interested or if u have any qs !!

I have some interest in the Christian mystical tradition. I'm not an expert and I might not have a lot to post, but I'd be interested in following such a group.

I am interested in modern witchcraft, tarot, and palmistry. I would have interest in all the options that are listed above. I have only dabbled a bit into this genre.

>3 polkadotkat: unfortunately there doesnt seem to b sufficient interest across the site; i love the history and revival of witchcraft tho, and have a passing interest in tarot symbology, so if u would ever like to read a book thru together just lmk!
