Esoterism - What is it?

Hi there!
Well everyone probably heard about the occult. It's that dark little thing you probably wanted to get yourself into when you were 16 years old or even older.
But what is esoterism you might ask?

Esoterism or esotericism is actually having belifs and opinions that aren't shared by many. Makes sense?
It does if you keep in mind that tarot and, for example, magic are still subjects that many misunderstand and see as mystic. Therefor esoterism has many subjects related to it, because it's the study and application of practices still little known among the world.
It's part of the occult because it takes care of matters only a small group of people know or understand.

Which practices am I talking about?
Well for starters using for example colors to heal is an esoteric subject, as well as witchcraft and, for example, supernatural (ghosts, werewolfs, etc).
But there is more, lots and lots more that many still don't know:

• Religious beliefs such as spiritualism and esoteric buddhism
• ESP aka Extrasensory perception (which by itself includes a list of things I will work on later)
• Reiki
• Astrology
• Tarot
• Other divination tecniques (e.g: I Ching, palmstry, etc)
• Yoga
• Meditation
• Astral projection
• Healing with crystals
• Healing with scents
• Healing of any kind that has direct contact to our energy
• Auras
• Medium
• etc, etc

Cool right? 

This blog will talk about, pretty much all of them in the future and a few more like tradicional medicine (which isn't esoteric but it's cool anyway).

What's the difference between esoteric and exoteric?

Exoteric are the things that are external to our "inner knowleadge" and things everyone accepts and knows about. It is things such as common sense (which isn't very common unfortunatly).

It is pretty interesting to understand these differences and it helps us understand how to practice the items listed above.
