## Purpose of this Text Since its inception on a wintry morning February 29, 1973 Quaestiones Esoterica has prided itself on providing a home to knowledge well outside of the mainstream. Inherently interdisciplinary in nature the journal accepts submissions in fields ranging from philosophy to agrarian economics (not including chemistry.) A journal interested exclusively in ’outsider’ thinkers seems subject to a number of internal contradictions: after all, once published within, the author is necessarily no longer a thinker on the sidelines, having had their views both endorsed and proliferated by a respected academic entity. The editors through the years have deftly avoided this problem by rejecting all submitted works. The purpose of this work is to defend Quaestiones Esoterica against the baseless rumours that it does not actually exist. Without getting into a debate of ontology, we state as fact that a journal is more than the issues it releases. As anyone with an annual subscription to Quaestiones Esoterica will tell you, that which is unseen may still yet exist. In this case, I refer to the invisible but nevertheless laborious process of reviewing and eventually rejecting the articles submitted. Here I shed some light on this process and include a selection of referee reports the journal has received over the years. ## Table of Contents 1. [[Anointed with Olive Oil and Other Fragrant Spices]] 2. [[Of Human Bondage - More Please!]] 3. [[Pantheisn’t - God is the Gaps]]
