So here is my basic idea, things like Alchemy and Magic that were seriously studied throughout the Renaissance remain legitimate fields of study into the modern era. I'm not really sure how to do this, for awhile I thought I'd make Giordano Bruno founded an order of occultist-monks, but I don't think he had the temperament.
I'm also not saying that people in this time line will be able to make fire balls or anything like that, but I would see science becoming mixed in with various occult and Hermetic ideas. It may only affect technical jargon however.
I also had the idea that we could try something along the lines of Martin Luther working Kabbalistic notions into Protestantism, but again that may be a stretch. I'm just tossing around ideas and I'd like it to be plausible.
