English: Synoptic chart of esoteric Christianity, showing its historical background, major currents, and selected later continuities. The diagram distinguishes between late antique and medieval background sources (Ancient Hermetism, Neoplatonism, Jewish Kabbalah, Ancient and Medieval Alchemy, and Neoplatonic Christian Mysticism), the Renaissance and early modern core currents of esoteric Christianity (Christian Hermetism, Christian Kabbalah, Paracelsianism / Christian Esoteric Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, and Christian Theosophy), and later developments in the 18th and 19th centuries (High-Grade Freemasonry / Illuminism, Swedenborgianism, Rosicrucian-Masonic currents, the French Occult Revival, and the British Rosicrucian Revival / Golden Dawn). Solid arrows indicate major lines of influence; dashed arrows indicate secondary or indirect influence.
