GNOSIS: A JOURNAL OF THE WESTERN INNER TRADITIONS was a quarterly magazine that was published in print form between 1985 and 1999.
It was founded by Jay Kinney, its editor in chief and publisher, and was issued under the auspices of the nonprofit Lumen Foundation. Its offices were in San Francisco. Richard Smoley served as editor from 1990 to the magazine’s closing in 1999.
GNOSIS was designed as a wide-ranging, broad-minded forum for the exploration of the Western mystical, occult, and esoteric traditions (including but not limited to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.) It was nonsectarian and published articles and authors from a wide variety of perspective.
Individual issues were devoted to specific themes, such as:
Gnosticism
Kabbalah
Witchcraft and Neopaganism
Magic
Jung and the Unconscious
Freemasonry
Gurdjieff and the Fourth Way
Psychedelics and the Path
Healing
Sacred Art and Music
Esoteric Christianity
Fifty-one issues in all were published. The last, on the Grail, appeared in the spring of 1999.
