The Witching of Art History—or How to Approach Women, Art and Esotericism
The special issue “The Witching of Art History” examines how women and artists beyond gender binaries have navigated artistic and occult subjectivities, identities and agency within art and occulture since the 19th century. The articles illuminate the mechanisms, structures and discursive distinctions that have shaped the experiences of artist women, as well as the strategies they have employed to negotiate these challenges. The issue introduces …
Get Yourself a Fire Body”
This article explores the intersections of clairvoyance, mediumship and gender in early-twentieth-century art through the case of the Finnish artist and occultist Meri Genetz (1885–1943). While esotericism has played a pivotal role in modern art, visionary and mediumistic practices are still often seen as marginal phenomena within mainstream art history. This article traces Meri Genetz’s spiritual journey from the 1920s to the 1930s by analysing …

Reflecting “Eastern spirituality” and esotericism in the research-based art exhibition
Artikkelissa pohditaan tutkimuksen ja kuratoinnin yhteenkietoutumista ja esitellään Idän henkisyys -näyttelyn teemoja sekä teoreettisia lähtökohtia. Villa Gyllenbergissä huhti-elokuussa 2023 esillä olleessa näyttelyssä valotettiin, miten suomalaiset taiteilijat ovat kuvitelleet ja kuvanneet ”idän henkisyyttä” 1800-luvun lopulta lähtien näihin päiviin saakka. Näyttely on osa laajempaa tutkimushanketta, joka tuo esiin taiteilijoiden käsityksiä Aasi…

Artists as truth-seekers
This article focuses on the concept of the seeker and considers how the analytical tool of seekership, defined and developed in the sociology of religion, could be applied to the study of art and esotericism. The theoretical argument is made more tangible with the example of the Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931), whose life story, art and writings resonate with the concept of seekership. The ways in which Gallen-Kallela writes abou…
Seekers of the spiritual art and higher wisdom
Editorial of Approaching Religion, Vol. 11 Issue 1, based on a two-day seminar arranged in Helsinki in August 2020 by the Signe and Ane Gyllenberg Foundation under the title 'Clear-sighted Art - Open Mind? Encounters between Art and Esotericism
Occulture as an Analytical Tool in the Study of Art
Aries is the first academic journal specifically devoted to the study of esotericism. The journal publishes scholarly work, both empirically and theoretically driven, on all aspects of esoteric currents from antiquity to the present day, unrestrained by geographical and cultural location, and from a range of approaches in the humanities and social sciences. Esotericism is understood pragmatically as an umbrella term that covers a variety of histo…
The art of mystification
This article focuses on Sarajas-Korte’s definitions that proved to be so significant to Finnish art history. In spite of the fact that her research still represents the most extensive and profound work on Finnish Symbolism, the aim here is to question some of her definitions and categorizations. Most of her concepts are puzzling, since she tends to use them in several different ways. One example of her conceptualizations is the way she uses the w…
