Ancient texts. Living traditions. A community of inquiry.
Esoteric Society Poland is a new independent cultural, publishing and educational initiative developed in Warsaw. Our work draws inspiration from Poland’s pre-war theosophical, hermetic and psychical-research circles — their lectures, publishing ventures, libraries and international conversations. We do not claim legal continuity with those organisations.
Our main areas of interest include Tarot, Runes, the I Ching, Kabbalah, Akashic Records and Hermeticism. We also explore Theosophy, Gnosticism, Taoism, Zen, Sufism and Christian mysticism, presenting these traditions in their distinct historical and religious contexts.
What we are building
A library. Accessible introductions, bibliographies and pathways to books and primary texts, drawing on the existing Biblioteka Duszy and FlipBook publishing platforms.
A research and heritage programme. Documentation of Polish esoteric societies, journals, archival sources and intellectual networks from the late nineteenth century to the present.
Learning pathways. An approach that distinguishes original sources, historical commentary, contemporary interpretation and reflective practice.
A community. Future reading circles, public talks and small gatherings in Warsaw and online, with international collaborations as a longer-term goal.
Our status
The Society is currently an independent initiative in development. A foundation based in Warsaw is being considered for registration in 2027. No separate society or foundation has yet been established for this project. Polish Society for Esoteric Studies is the proposed name of its historical and research programme, not the legal successor of any pre-war body.
We welcome serious enquiries from historians, librarians, translators, authors and cultural institutions. For the time being, please use the contact route of Biblioteka Duszy.
