Esoteric & Occult at New Age Village
Alternative medicine is a broad term for any method of healing that stands outside the framework of conventional, mainstream medicine.  Alternative medicine embraces a variety of therapeutic or preventive health care practices, such as homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, and herbal medicine, that do not follow generally accepted medical methods and may not always have a scientific explanation for their effectiveness. The approach often helps to balance mind, body, and soul.

 INTRODUCTION
Read our overview about Esotericism and the Occult.

  • Introduction to the Occult

  • History

 TOPICS

  • Alchemy
    The science by aid of which the chemical philosophers of mediaeval times attempted to transmute the baser metals into gold and silver.

  • Animism
    The doctrine of spiritual beings, or the concept that a great part, if not the whole, of inanimate nature, as well as of animate beings, are endowed with reason and volition identical with that of man.

  • Freemasonry
    A worldwide fraternal organization. Its members are reportedly joined together by shared ideals of both a moral and metaphysical nature, and, in most of its branches, by a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being. Freemasonry is an esoteric society, in that certain aspects of its internal work are not generally disclosed to the public.

  • Golden Dawn & Aleister Crowley

  • Gnostic
    Under the designation " Gnostics," several widely-differing sects were included, the term, derived from the Greek, meaning, " to know" in opposition to mere theory. Their doctrines were an admixture of Indian, Egyptian, Babylonian, and Christian creeds, astrology and magic, with much of the Jewish Kabbala also.

  • Grail Legends

  • Gurdjieff & Fourth Way

  • Hermeticism

  • Illuminati

  • Kabbala
    A Hebrew and Jewish system of theosophy. The word signifies ''doctrines received from tradition." In ancient Hebrew literature the name was used to denote the entire body of religious writings, the Pentateuch excepted. It is only in the early middle ages that the system of theosophy known as Kabalism was designated by that name.

  • Knights Templar
    The Knights Templars of the Temple of Solomon were a military order, founded by a Burgundian, Hugues de Payns, and Godeffroi de St. Omer, a French Knight, in 1119, for the purpose of protecting pilgrims journeying into the Holy Land. They were soon joined by other knights, and a religious chivalry speedily gathered around this nucleus. Baldwin I., King of Jerusalem, gave them as headquarters a portion of his palace, contiguous to a mosque which tradition asserted was part of the Temple of Solomon, and from this building they took their designation.

  • Magick
    The influence of events and physical phenomenon through supernatural, mystical, or paranormal means. The famous occultist Aleister Crowley chose the spelling magick to distinguish "the true science of the Magi from all its "counterfeits," such as stage magic.

  • Michael Teachings
    The teachings of the Causal plane teacher, Michael. Provides a set of tools that helps you chart your spiritual progress as you journey from first incarnation to last. Highly recommended study.

  • Mysticism
    The attempt of man to attain to the ultimate reality of things and enjoy communion with the Highest. Mysticism maintains the possibility of communication with God, not by means of revelation, or the ordinary religious channels, but by dint of introspection, culminating in the feeling that tho individual partakes of the divine nature. Mysticism has been identified with pantheism by some authorities; but it differs from pantheism in that its motive is religious.

  • Mysteries

  • Rosicrucians
    The name Rosicrucian is utilized by mystics to some extent as the equivalent of magus, but in its more specific application it was the title of a member of a suppositions society which arose in the late sixteenth century.

  • Satanism

  • Shamanism

  • Rudolph Steiner & Anthroposophy

  • Theosophy
    Founded in 1875 by famous psychic, Madame H. P. Blavatsky. The movement was a combination of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Kabbalistic practices. The aim of Theosophy was threefold: To form a universal brotherhood of man. To study and make known the ancient religions, philosophies and sciences. To investigate the laws of nature and develop the divine powers latent in man.

  • Wicca
