About Us

Esoteric Research Press came to be when Soror Harmony Pax came home from the wizarding supply shop, miffed at the high prices on occult books. After all, most are public domain, why couldn't they be condensed into pocket size? Maybe they're so occult that they had to be big, floppy and hardcover and cost a hundred bucks.

She thought of all the poor children who could not get occult books for Solstice and had to make do with the pocket-size options for wizardry - the Bible, the Koran, the Talmud and other dry reads. Oh no! How would they ever learn to use their powers for good? How would they ever cross the Great Abyss? How would they even learn to invoke and banish the planetary and elemental powers?

Being that this Would Not Do, Harmony went into her secret alchemy lab and started distilling a mixture of vitriol, vim, vigor, vitamins and vortices. Finally, after summoning all the spirits of the Greater Key of Solomon, the Enochian Seniors, and the Pauline Planetary Spirits for a tea-soaked conference on What To Do, Esoteric Research Press was born.
