Welcome to Exploring Esoterica, the podcast where I explore different esoteric philosophies that have been ridiculed, shunned, and outright banned from society. We take a journey through the culture, history, and the rationale behind each practice. Much of what you find online can be riddled with misinformation, conspiracy theories, and subjective information being relayed as factual. This podcast looks at the facts so that we may gain a better understanding from a comprehensive view instead of an apologetic or polemic one. Let’s wade through the sea of knowledge together and learn how these secret practices have shaped our modern world.
