A voyage through mysterious and haunted lands, the sixth volume of The Library Esoterica invites readers into the art, rituals, and mythologies of the spirit realms.
Exploring humanity’s complex beliefs around death, rebirth, and resurrection, Spirit Worlds reveals the traditions, sacred stories, and visionary artworks that illuminate our understanding of the afterlife.

Through interviews with scholars and practitioners, insightful essays, and more than 400 works of art, this volume journeys through the supernatural— from shadowed domains of ghosts and demons to radiant lands of angels and celestial beings. Over 500 pages, it celebrates the ways we connect with our ancestors, honor the departed, and seek meaning in loss.

We study rites of death across cultures, the ancient monuments and sacred temples raised in grief, and the altars and communities built in remembrance. We explore rituals that bridge the living and the dead, and the messages passed through mediums, prophets, and the elaborate séances of the Spiritualists—alongside the cryptic visions of oracles and fortunetellers.

Finally, we showcase art that channels not only creative inspiration, but the voices and visions of the unknown. Here, we board the ferry across the storied river, enter the twilight passages between worlds, and step across the threshold to part the most sacred of veils.
