i'm not crazy about the image though it's mostly fine. otherwise, yes, people called it "science" or "astrology" pretty often. nietzsche, kierkegaard, fichte, basically all of the american poets, aquinas, agustine, swedenborg, even eistein all were actually mystics. normalfags don't realize this, but esoteric christianity actually survived alongside catholicism, pretending to not step on its toes, this whole time. it was often confined to a lodge setting and when it wasn't a lot of philosophers or scientists would default to "yep, i'm catholic just like you lol".
