The Hermetic Library Reading Room is an imaginary and speculative future reification of the library in the physical world, a place to experience a cabinet of curiosities offering a confabulation of curation, context and community that engages, archives and encourages a living Western Esoteric Tradition. If you would like to contribute to the Hermetic Library Reading Room, consider supporting the library or contact the librarian.

  2. The Builders
  3. Secret Ritual and Manhood in Victorian America
  4. The White Dominican
  5. Freemasonry and Its Ancient Mystic Rites
