It's probably nowhere as big of a trend as I thought it was. I'm just terminally online and thought anyone connected with Gnosticism would have seen the same discourse as me, my bad.

Not long, did read. As far as esoterica goes that has some of the best aesthetics in my opinion and the philosophy kind of resonates with a current cultural moment. It sounds like it brings you joy and gives meaning, so I guess I'm glad you got into it

Per Wikipedia:

Gnosticism (from Ancient Greek γνωστικός (gnōstikós) 'having knowledge'; Koine Greek: [ɣnostiˈkos]) is a collection of different religious and philosophical ideas and systems that fully developed by the mid-2nd century among sects of early Christianity and other faiths. It is not a singular, homogeneous tradition or religion, but an umbrella term used by modern scholars to describe different groups and beliefs that shared certain characteristics. These diverse Gnostic groups generally emphasized personal spiritual knowledge (gnosis) above the authority, traditions, and proto-orthodox teachings of organized religious institutions.

TLDR: be spiritual; but also as weird as possible

Rule 0: Don't be a dick.
