I am an MA degree student performing research into Western Esotericism and occultism, particularly Theosophy, Fourth Way and the Golden Dawn, and would like to ask for your help.

What I'm after are short written accounts of spiritual or occult experiences, and the outcome of the experience, that people involved with these three traditions have had. I don't want to be too specific as there is a lot of variation in how people understand the terms 'spiritual' and 'occult'. People typically write about experiences which could be labelled psychic, spiritual, religious, supernatural, paranormal, or mystical. Such experiences may be pleasant or unpleasant and the outcomes good or bad. The only other information I would need is the experient's gender and whether they were a member or ex-member of the group.

Further information, including examples of some spiritual experiences, can be found at my website www.esoteric-experience.org.uk

Or, if you have any question, please just ask.

Cheers!

Mike
