Esoteric Astrology

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Do you believe that there exists a spiritual realm? Are you more interested in learning about esoteric astrology than about the mundane or the classical kind? Is information on the former branch of the pseudo-science that is astrology what you’re looking for?

Well, here’s a simple guide on finding the best and most comprehensive libraries on esotericism:

1. Town Library: The ever reliable and humble town library at your service. As the public’s official keeper of various tomes, as the whole town designated it to, you should never fail to check this place out. It might not have the most books, as it is government-funded, but it might have the best collection of old books, newspapers, and magazines. What do you know this ancient collection might have a series on esotericism?

2. University Library: Any trustworthy university that is still operational today always has at least one library to its name. It can be found inside school premises and is where most students do their studying and researching. As long as you ask permission from the proper authorities, you can use library facilities for free and without the disturbance that town libraries have been cursed with.

3. Internet: Though possibly the easiest to use and access, the downside to getting your information from the World Wide Web is how unreliable the facts from these information can be because of the current proliferation of plagiarists and make-believers. This is because anybody – just about anyone – can set up their own website with site visitors not having a clue as to the authenticity of the information the site is sharing. The next best thing for you to do then if you use the Internet in your researches is to check if the website creator properly attributed the articles found in the site.

4. Astrologer: An in-depth interview of a real, live practitioner of esoteric astrology can become an option too. If genuine information is what you’re looking for, you might get more than what you bargained for. You might get a reading or two from an astrologer and the stuff you’ve always wanted to know about esotericism.

5. This is simply a guide. You can take it as it is or you may not. You always have the option to look for other resources on esotericism study you’re doing.

Just remember that if you plan on writing a book or two of your researches and your personal journey towards learning this pseudo-science, always attribute. Do not claim a particular knowledge, a piece of information, or any resource for that matter as your own. Use the data you gathered properly by writing from the heart and from personal experience and encounters of this branch of astrology.
