Maurice Nicoll’s Private Diaries, Sexual Obsession and Esoteric Christianity
A discovery of over 1,000 pages of Maurice Nicoll’s private diaries reveals a hidden obsession with "eroto-mystical" practices and transgressive sexual fantasies. While Nicoll was publicly known for his gentle "Esoteric Christianity" and psychological commentaries, his private writings show a man struggling with intense shame and a repressed Scottish Presbyterian upbringing. These diaries function similarly to Jung’s Red Book, documenting an internal dialogue with an "eternal feminine" figure.
