What do you think is the most interesting strand of Western esotericism?

What angle are you looking at, academic or practical?

Academic I guess, I want to understand it in its relation to western culture and history. I've read some Christian theology but I've never gone far with the whole occult stuff, only contemporary shit like Chaos magick when I was an edgy teen.
