A person who practices esoterism; someone who studies, believes in, or teaches esoteric or secret doctrines.
From 'esoterism' + '-ist' (follower). This variant of 'esotericist' emphasizes the systematic philosophical practice rather than the person's general involvement with mysteries.
The best esoterists in history weren't just collecting secrets—they were developing sophisticated philosophical systems, like Neoplatonists who created elaborate maps of spiritual reality that influenced Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
