Esotericism (from the Greek ἐσώτερος [API /e’so:teros/]: ‘from within, interior, intimate’; joined to the suffix -ism) is a generic term used to refer to the set of knowledge, doctrines, teachings, practices, rites, techniques or traditions of a current of thought that uses secrets, incomprehensible or difficult-to-access symbols and that are transmitted only to a select minority called initiates (see secret society), so they are not known by the Profane. Esotericism seeks to understand the world and people through their internal causes, unlike exoteric knowledge, which seeks external effects and causes.
Among these movements is Freemasonry.
