Esoteric Research

So, here's the deal -- I have had aspirations of writing a novel-length story for quite some time now. Anyways, I think I've started to come into more of a solid concept, mostly because I've found a world in which to work in (I hesitate to say it's White Wolf's World of Darkness, specifically their Mage: The Ascension game, but it is). Anyways, toward this end, there's a number of things I'd like to learn a little bit more about, so I can apply them in a somewhat reasonable way in my story. If anyone out there could help me, either with internet sources, recommended books, or pieces of personal knowledge, that'd be grand. Specifically what I'm looking to find out more on is:

  • Kabbalah
  • Chaos Theory
  • Astrology
  • Colonial-era 'Witchcraft'
  • Celtic Mythology
  • Egyptian Religious Beliefs

    And any odd bit of esoteric knowledge wouldn't be unappreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I have a book around my house somewhere that's all about celtic mythology. If I can find it, I'll bring it back to school for you.
