Classification of Articles
From Cassiopedia
As a quick visual aid to the reader in placing the various articles in context, articles are marked with one or more of the below symbols:
Shamanism, Archaic Esotericism
An esoteric approach to knowledge is inherently interdisciplinary. The universe does not respect the boundaries erected by humans between fields of knowledge. Rather, we could say that these boundaries often form obstructions to seeing the big picture.
Considering this, it may seem arbitrary and counter-productive to introduce another classification in a work whose purpose is precisely to stimulate thinking across boundaries and to establish new semantic linkages in the reader's mind.
While the universe may be one, approaches to it are many and terminologies for these approaches are even more diverse. This is why we have chosen to label articles according to their main perspective and/or source of inspiration. We hope that this gives a quick visual overview of the choice of fields and streams of thought we bring together to form a model for reality.
