@p Because it's interesting, but because this is probably very far outside your set of interests:

I've noticed that a lot of the magic shops here are VERY well stocked with oils. Essential oils are definitely a thing, but also burnt oils for offerings are a big deal here too. That's suspicious - burning oils to a home shrine *tends* to be a Santa Muerte practice, which is associated with cartels.

Other than that, Freemasonry is...huge here. It has taken me almost no time at all to find them, they have a massive library here which is...insanely impressive, and stocked with very rare books. The librarians are excellent, and they have the ability to point a seeker in the direction of anything they could ever hope to study. There are reading groups and classes, and the topics are obviously great. The education one can get from this is obviously superior to an undergraduate degree in Philosophy. Unfortunately...the library's only open two days a week, both of which are weekdays, and it's timed during a normal workday. Typical Masonry.
