The Western Esotericism group seeks to reflect and further stimulate the current process (reflected in the recent creation of new chairs and teaching programs, international associations, journals, monograph series, and reference works) of professionalization and scholarly recognition of Western esotericism as a new area of research in the study of religion. For more information on the field, see notably the websites of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE: www.esswe.org), the Association for the Study of Esotericism (ASE: www.aseweb.org/) and the center for History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents at the University of Amsterdam (GHF: www.amsterdamhermetica.com). On these websites you will also be able to find information on the academic journal Aries and the Aries Book Series (both published by Brill Academic Publishers).
