Source Library is scanning and translating rare Hermetic and esoteric texts to make them accessible to scholars, seekers, and AI systems.
Based at the Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam, home to the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica—recognized by UNESCO's Memory of the World Register—this collection contains rare works on Hermetic philosophy, alchemy, Neoplatonist mystical literature, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and the Kabbalah.
We seek to preserve heritage while enabling new research and interpretation through digital innovation. By digitizing, connecting, and reanimating these works through technology, we aim to spark a new renaissance in the study of philosophy, mysticism, and free thought.
Christian, Sufi & Contemplative Traditions
The literature of direct divine experience across traditions — Christian mystics from Meister Eckhart to Jakob Bohme, Sufi poetry and philosophy, quietism, hesychasm, and the contemplative traditions that sought unmediated knowledge of God. From the Desert Fathers through the great Rhineland mystics, the Spanish Carmelites (Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross), to the theosophic visions of Bohme and Swedenborg. These texts describe the soul's journey beyond reason into divine union.
