[Opinion] Obscure, interesting esoteric websites

[StoatCatcher]

Which small esoteric websites do you enjoy?

My pick is Russel Cottrell's personal website:

. The I Ching section has a big list of interesting translations, alternative techniques for getting extra hexagrams, different methods for generating primary hexagrams and a digital tool to compare different translations of a reading with all the extra methods included. Theres also a tarot section on the website, a few math and fractal-related experiments and a page for lunisolar calendars.

For those interested in esoteric teachings of buddhism and hinduism, a very good website is wisdomlib.org, with translations of many texts.

David Chapman's is pretty darn cool. He's the former AI researcher and philosopher focusing on Meta-Rationality and Vajrayana Buddhism, with a background in the Aro gTer lineage, a school within the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.

FYI. He is not Alan Chapman of Chaos Magic fame, but Meta-rationality is very Chaos-magic-flavored, and is about knowing which tool to use, when to put them away, and how to bridge the gap between a rigid formula and a complex reality.

This guy's stuff is really interesting. I'll have to give it a read.

I suppose it depends on what you'd count, but languageisavirus.com is a very handy set of tools for writers in addition to being a lot of fun and seems like a useful esoteric resource. Arguably, you could use some of the tools for divination, there's a cut-up tool, and it is inspired by William S. Burroughs.

chaostarot.com/app has some handy tools for sigilcraft and other Chaos magick purposes.

Lastly, it's not anything specific, but naturally it's always handy find a favorite website for divination/astrology/etc. as it might be easier at times to just whip out your phone and answer a question there rather than busting out a tarot deck, rune set, or physical version of the I Ching.

Thanks for reminding me of this.
