I am interested in the way our culture is returning to mysticism under the rubric of "new age" and the relevance of elder studies such as astrology and the tarot for modern times.

Scarabcameo, I think the urge to understand everything is as old as the race. No matter what means we use, be it esoteric or scientific, we are always trying to understand the origin, cause and effect of everything that affects us directly.

I guess the choice of scientific vs esoteric depends on which brain side we use more. I used to explore everything from a scientific point of view till I found out its limits are those things they have been able to prove. Of course, there are many things we know about and cannot prove, but they still exist, even if science is a little slow in finding some answers. Also, the esoteric approach always leaves a sense of mystery, the unknown and unexplored that is highly intriguing and attractive in itself.

My two pennies worth  

When we find a way to marry science with religion (spirituality, etc.) we have a fuller picture of answers.  Somehow this life is meant to give us mysteries.  Perhaps it is what holds our interest for learning and growing?

scarabcameo, Hi and welcome to mystic board! You have sure come to the right place to explore culture showing an interest in mysticism and the elder studies. The whole world pops in and out of here having a look at things.

love,
