Harry Potter for Seekers

[Hans]

Dear Friends,

I have formed a group of Harry Potter fans who are interested in 
exploring the spiritual foundations of the story. This group is 
called Harry Potter for Seekers and is intended for broadminded 
people of all spiritual backgrounds who consider themselves seekers 
after spiritual truths; particularly in Harry Potter. Areas for 
discussion include alchemy, comparisons to other literature with 
spiritual foundations (e.g. LotR, the Bible, legends, fairy tales, 
etc.), religions such as Christianity, Buddhism and Paganism, 
philosophies such as Theosophy and Anthroposophy, and of course 
one's own spiritual insights gained on the journey of life.

This group would in no way compete with other HP groups, and no 
criticism is implied or intended. The whole idea would be to have a 
small group where the discussion would be concentrated on one 
subject area so that it saves time looking through hundreds of posts 
which are not on spiritual topics.

I do not want to restrict membership of the group in any way, but of 
course discussion will have to adhere to the objects of the group.

I will continue contributing to HPFGU as before.

Although I've been a Potterhead for nearly four years I feel more 
enthusiastic about Harry Potter every day. My amazement grows daily 
as I discover more spiritual depth and power through reading, 
discussing and contemplating the books frequently. What was once 
secret knowledge for the very few in the Mystery Schools of the past 
is now being revealed to the world population, for those who have 
eyes to see and ears to hear. I'm inviting people who also feel 
there is a deep spiritual foundation hidden in the books, and would 
like to learn more by discussing it. I hope to meet some of you at:
