Эзотерика в истории, культуре и искусстве

Esotericism is a mystery that is inaccessible to the uninitiated, an "alternative" explanation of human nature and the laws of nature through sacred practices.

What connected Claude Debussy and Erik Satie with the Rosicrucians? We propose to learn to look at esotericism, cleansing it from labels, and to explore the history of culture and various states.
