Initiating women in Freemasonry : the adoption rite / by Jan A.M. Snoek

I think about these two Academic Esoteric Study Societies.

I could see my org helping them by sometimes hosting meetings and conferences, and promoting them. And we could sometimes publish some books and our own newsletter.

Remember "Gnosis" over 10 years, and based in San Francisco. Awesome magazine, never anything like that.

But most of all, I see my org as setting up great libraries. To know more about these subjects you have to get access to books and journals which are obscure.

So there is so much more to read in this book. Just want to harvest a little bit more out of it, as I will have to get it back. Of course more books I should be reading is a premium kind of info.

Rethinking "Gnosticism" : an argument for dismantling a dubious category / Michael Allen Williams. (1996) amazon.com

Allison P. Coudert's chapter, at UC Davis, about what people call the burning times, looks real good!

she has written many books, but this is a bit obscure:

Talk in the Hidden Intercourse book about relations with Sophia, and they trace the beginnings of Christian Theosophy to Jacob Boheme, though they also list lots and lots of later figures.

First chapter talks about Barbello and Epiphanius's denunciations. In relation to this there is one quotation from Pistis Sophia.

^^^^^ this is good. Just read it. Real culmination is in asking why so many of the esotericists seem attracted to fascist and authoritarian regimes.

It has to do with how Gnosticism has been defined.

And this is explored in:
