In Esoterika, scholar of esotericism Mitch Horowitz draws upon inner teachings to take a hammer to conformity, whether from peers or our therapeutic and spiritual cultures. Beneath this lies the truer self you have lost.

The ideas and formulas in Esoterika are an astringent solution to familiar wisdom and authorized paths. The book’s principles, Mitch writes, “if practiced seriously, will change you in positive ways. You will be more agentic, expressive, and, hence, happier. For the determined, this change occurs quickly.”

Esoterika reconstitutes neglected fragments from Hermetic (Greek-Egyptian), Abrahamic (Judaic-Christian-Sufi), and modern esoteric, occult, and magickal traditions, and weds them to your lived experience.

Everything in its chapters is meant to be tried. The hour is late. Esoterika is the accelerant for which many have waited.
