This sucks.
Say what you want about the Theosophists, but over the years their centres have become "safe spaces" for all Esotericists to go and connect.
The libraries in some TS buildings overflow with books donated by previous members and occultists alike who amassed large and rare collections but had no suitable descendents or family members who were interested let alone understood what those tomes contained.
Absolute tragedy π

"This extraordinary new book (by the author of Introduction to the Golden Dawn Tarot) contains all that is required to produce a symbolically accurate temple and a full set of magical instruments in the Golden Dawn tradition. Full color photographs of the temple and of the instruments, as well as the precise hieroglyphs of the pillars, appear here in print for the first time. Instructions are given for the construction of the altar, pillars, Enochian tablets, Rose Cross Lamen, wands, etc., the difficult sigils and inscriptions having been worked out completely by the author, The Secret Temple is highly recommended to students of the Golden Dawn, Crowley, and the practical Qabalah."

A priest of Asklepios (Aesculapius) and a patient calling up the sacred, non-poisonous snakes
Forestier, A. (AmΓ©dΓ©e), d. 1930
During the recent excavations of the Health Temple of Asklepios at Cos, the scene of Hippocrates' labours, a curious cist with a heavy marble lid was discovered. This is believed to have been the place where the priests kept the sacred snakes of Asklepios. In the center of the slab is a hole (see photograph on another page) through which the snakes went out and in. This Ophiseion, or place of the snakes, was let into the floor of a small sanctuary in which an altar of incense is supposed to have stood. There the priests brought their patients to sacrifice, and to offer sacred cakes to the serpents. On the walls were probably engraved health maxims and votive inscriptions of persons who had been cured."--printed on border.
