Alternative forms of spirituality are frequently understood as inherently marginal and subversive, by insiders and outsiders alike. Yet it is clear that throughout history, practitioners of spiritualism, occultism, theosophy, paganism and numerous other esoteric currents have not remained divorced from society’s regulatory functions, but rather have reproduced, adapted and at times, transformed dominant norms, including of race, gender, and sexuality. The Normative Esotericism Project is the first to examine the myriad ways, during the last two centuries, in which normative constructs of whiteness, masculinity and cis-heteronormativity have been closely implicated in alternative spiritualities. Our edited volume is under contract with Manchester University Press and we hosted lectures, conference panels, and a workshop.
