Axis Mundi was born as a personal blog of its founder, Marco Maculotti, but, soon, the interest in the topics dealt with made it a magazine – first – and a publishing house – then. In this "behind the scenes", I asked Marco to tell us about what we don't know: his personal journey, the chance encounters with the authors of his "stable", the background, but especially the vision behind this important reality dedicated to symbolic and esoteric studies. What is, for example, the Axis Mundi that gives the page its name? What is the founding idea of this reality and what are the objectives and working hypotheses that it carries out? This and more in the live coverage of Thursday 8 June at 21, which you can follow, as always, on the Facebook and YouTube pages of Apocalypse in the living room, the Alchemist Library and the Esoteric Library the Seal.
