In this revival episode of the Mystai Podcast, I caught up with Dr Justin Sledge from Esoterica on a retrospective of our experience over the last 3 years. We discuss academic models of Western Esotericism & some of the challenges and opportunities in the field. In light of B.C Otto's recent paper on Frater Acher's Arbatel experience in the journal of Entangled Religions, 14(3), we also discuss the extent to which modern practitioners' experiences can be approached for academic study from Phenomenological and Ethnographic perspectives to inform our understanding of the lived experience of historical manuscripts. In the second half, we unpack the history & reception of the Hermetic tradition & speculate on its authors, practical experience and spread out of Egypt.
