It is the library behind much of the rest of the atlas, the books in which the systems of magic, alchemy and Kabbalah were set down. The canonical scriptures of the world's religions (the Vedas, the Torah, the Gospels, the Quran, the Pali Canon and the rest), are gathered separately under the scripture category within Traditions & Paths; this section concentrates on the esoteric and occult literature.Cross-Tradition ConnectionsArticle OnTexts & the Canon, Sections Well-attested Source Divinity Atlas Long-Form Articles, First Editiontier 1SourcesDivinity Atlas Long-Form Articles, First Editiontier 1Comments (0)No comments yet.
