The European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE) was founded in Amsterdam in 2005, and the staff at the HHP centre continues to be deeply involved with the further development of this international learned society. Our staff has also been instrumental in setting up and running the leading peer-reviewed journal devoted to Western esotericism, Aries, and the Aries Book Series – both published by Brill under the auspices of the ESSWE. The HHP centre is thus an intrinsic part of a larger international network that promotes, creates and distributes peer-reviewed academic research in the interdisciplinary field of Western esotericism.
