Esotericism in the Modern World: Bridging Scholarship
and Public Engagement
Hermēneia is a one-day conference for people who care about how esotericism gets translated into the modern world without being diluted, sensationalised, or turned into content sludge.
Across four talks and an extended panel discussion, we will follow the live wires between academic method and lived practice, between folklore on the ground and communities online, and between specialist research and public language that can actually carry nuance.
The day is designed to be rigorous but welcoming, with generous time for audience questions and a lunch break explicitly for conversation, connections, and the kind of networking that doesn't feel like networking.
The speakers are Dr Justin Slege, Dr Angela Puca, Dr Jenny Butler, and Marco Visconti.
