Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: MEGA welcomes papers on any topic related to the study of mysticism, esotericism, and gnosticism from a wide variety of critical methodologies and theoretical perspectives. In addition, we welcome papers on “Panpsychism: The Soul of Nature”; “Panpsychism” describes the idea of a world soul, or anima mundi, that permeates all being. It plays an important role in the antique religions of the ancient near east, and a recurring role in the human imagination. Finally, we will also be having a panel on the critical intersection of embodiment, materiality, mysticism/esotericism, and Jewish and Christian scriptures.
