Oksidists

Oksidists are followers of a mystical and philosophical movement that originated in the early 20th century in Eastern Europe. The movement was founded by two individuals, Natalia Ugarova and Lev Lopatin, who sought to create a spiritual practice that combined elements of mysticism, theosophy, and Eastern spirituality.

The core tenets of Oksidism emphasize the importance of inner transformation, self-awareness, and the development of one's higher consciousness. Oksidists believe in the existence of a universal energy or life force that flows through all living beings, and that individuals can tap into and harmonize with this energy through meditation, visualization, and other spiritual practices.

Oksidists also place a strong emphasis on the use of symbolism and archetypes in spiritual growth and self-discovery. They believe that the use of symbolism can help individuals connect with their inner selves and access deeper levels of consciousness. The movement also makes use of specific rituals and ceremonies, which are designed to facilitate inner transformation and spiritual growth.

The Oksidist movement spread rapidly throughout Eastern Europe in the early 20th century, attracting a significant following in countries such as Russia, Poland, and Ukraine. While the movement's popularity has waxed and waned over the years, Oksidism remains a significant presence in the world of spirituality and esotericism. Although it lacks a unified leadership or central authority, the movement continues to be practiced and studied by individuals around the world, who seek to deepen their understanding of the self and connect with the universal energies that flow through all living beings.
