Western Esotericism is a movement that has its origins back to the Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean, then it continued into the middle ages and the renaissance period as the works of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers were translated before its emergence from the enlightenment as a "modernist occult" movement, and finally in the early 20th century it became a multi-disciplinary subject in America that encompasses theology, alchemy, and the arts used primarily to study the impact of esotericism on Western culture and religion. It is important to note the medieval Greeks and Byzantines of South Eastern Europe never lost ancient Greek and Roman tradition, so they would have indeed been able to carry on the esoteric traditions of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Also, Western Esotericism includes the tribal religions that most of ancient Europe had before the spread of Christianity throughout the early Middle Ages. Indeed, these esoteric traditions combined with those of ancient of ancient Greece and Rome had a profound impact on Christianity and Western culture. This subject is often refered to as Western Esotericism and few scholars still study it to this day. In my view, the "modernist occult movement" is evidence that these ancient esoteric traditions were indeed passed down and perhaps even practiced by secret societies. While it is unknown whether or not these secret societies influenced or even infiltrated the Breakaway Civilization. It is safe to hypothesize that at the very least ancient esoteric doctrine may have had an influence on the Breakaway Civilization at one point in time.
