Esoteric groups are organizations or communities that focus on hidden or specialized knowledge, often related to spiritual, mystical, or philosophical teachings. These groups typically emphasize personal transformation and the pursuit of deeper understanding, which may not be accessible to the general public. Members often engage in rituals, study ancient texts, or practice meditation to explore these teachings. Many esoteric groups draw inspiration from various traditions, including Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Gnosticism. They may also incorporate elements from Eastern philosophies or occult practices. The teachings within these groups are often considered sacred and are shared only with initiated members.
