Esoteric Research

[jackofallgeeks]

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.

No, I haven't, but if that's the case, I may look into it. Did you read it? How was it as a book in general?

I read it a while back, and it was either the first or second one with the really good chaos theory stuff. The first book was reallyu good, second good, but not all that.
