Scholarly work on magic and esotericism already thrives across excellent societies, centres and seminar series. So why build another network? Because CHiMere is deliberately open and light‑touch: a flexible, peer‑led constellation rather than a heavy institution. We privilege network dynamics—quick connections, shared resources, and low thresholds to join—to make collaboration easier across periods, disciplines and geographies.

Below you’ll find a first orientation: hubs that have inspired us—and in which many of us participate as individual scholars. This is not a canonical list; it’s a waypoint. If we’re missing a group, centre or recurring activity, please use the submission form at the bottom of the page to suggest a new link.
