The transmission of ancient knowledge from the White Masters, communication with the dead, Masonic rituals, the hidden meanings of the Kalevala, astral bodies and the evolution of humanity towards a more spiritual Aquarian age. What is all this about?
Modern esotericism and occultism in Finland is the first comprehensive information book on these topics. It presents the esoteric and occult movements and currents of the late 19th and early 20th centuries matter-of-factly and without fanaticism.
The book is based on recent scientific research and discusses spiritualism, freemasonry, theosophy, anthroposophy and Rosicrucianism. In addition, the work examines the connection of esotericism and occultism to visual arts, literature and popular culture. Esotericism is by no means situated on the cultural fringes of strange margins, but is intricately intertwined in the areas of science, art and politics, among others.
The peer-reviewed work is suitable for use in courses dealing with esotericism in universities, folk colleges and universities of applied sciences, especially in the fields of cultural and arts research, history and religious studies. Due to its general awareness, the work is also suitable for reading by any Finnish person interested in esotericism and the occult.
The authors of the work are Finnish experts in the study of esotericism. Tiina Mahlamäki (FT, docent) is a university lecturer in religious studies and the author of Nina Kokkinen's (FT) award-winning Totuudenetsijät.
