Mystics Reading Society is a space for reading spiritual books one chapter at a time. Each week, we gather around a shared text and explore what it’s like to read mystically—slowly, reflectively, and in conversation with our own lived experience. Through weekly letters and podcast episodes, I share my experience as a reader, along with gentle prompts for noticing and reflection. There’s no pressure to keep up or arrive at the “right” insight—only an invitation to return, again and again, to books, practice, and a deeper way of paying attention to your life.
I’m Emma Veritas, a writer and practical mystic devoted to the quiet, everyday practices that help us come home to ourselves. Through ritual, reflection, and attentive reading of both books and life, I teach simple tools for grounding, clarity, and inner listening—without urgency or spiritual pressure. My work is rooted in lived experience, not performance, and is guided by the belief that a meaningful spiritual life is built slowly, through ordinary days and gentle rituals you can return to again and again.
