Unveiling the Essence of Grounded Spirituality, Through Art and Writing
Who We Are
Exploring Art, Calligraphy, and Spirituality at Earthen Gate
This website is dedicated to the exploration and promotion of the lowest, humblest and most mundane forms of spirituality.
Drawing inspiration from esoteric traditions the world over, it concerns itself with spiritual growth, understanding and power from outside of the confines of any religion. In this regard it may be thought of as belonging to a school of thought sometimes known as the ‘western mystery tradition’.
But it does not aim for lofty revelations of distant metaphysical truths, nor for the transcendental attainment of mystical union with the ultimate reality. Our goals are smaller and closer to home than that.
Nor will it make great leaps of faith and vision, nor expect as much of our esteemed visitors. You could say, making allowance for a little poetic metaphor, that our subject is the spirituality of the elemental earth. It is grounded, it stays rooted in the earth, in the body, in the ordinary and the material. Skepticism is not put aside, but rather strengthened and encouraged.
The resources presented here may therefore appeal to those just beginning to explore the wisdom of esoteric spirituality and the western mystery tradition. They are a gateway of sorts, an entrance into the subject for those on the lowest rung of the ladder and those whose healthy skepticism has so far prevented them from committing to further exploration of their spirituality.
While you will certainly find philosophy in these pages, my aim is not to create a grand and coherent philosophical vision, nor to present a complete spiritual path for people to follow. It is to create and collect fragments of art and philosophy focusing on the common theme described above.
