We will be expanding our archival selections, offering works directly or tangentially related to our articles. Additionally we will archive Esoterica: The Journal of Esoteric Studies issues, book reviews, dissertations, image files, and articles from past issues.Our aim is not, for the most part, to offer entire translations online, but rather to offer reliable, citable excerpts from influential primary esoteric works not available elsewhere. If you would like to help us in this effort, whether by translating or by scanning in texts and images, please let us know by email at studies@esoteric.msu.edu.
