David Allen Hulse's The Eastern Mysteries (previously published as The Key of it All—Book 1: The Eastern Mysteries) is a monumental resource, both in size and value. It catalogs and distills — using hundreds of tables of secret symbolism — the true import of each of six major Eastern magickal traditions. Each chapter is a key that unlocks the meaning behind the magickal language of another ancient tradition.
In the first chapter, you will learn about the ancient Cuneiform language, its origins, its codes, and how it is the source for Hebrew. In the second chapter, you will find the secrets of Hebrew, including a clear explanation of the Qabalah.
Chapter three reveals the mysteries of Arabic, including its origins, its mystical codes, its astrological attributes, the 99 names of God, Sufi symbolism, and more. The following chapter reveals the origins and symbolic nature of Sanskrit (including comparisons with the works of Aleister Crowley), as well as information on codes, the chakras, and more.
The last two chapters focus on the Tibetan, including the codes, the Tattvas, the six schools of thought; and the Chinese, with an explanation of Yin and Yang, the five elements, the complete text of the I Ching and how to give readings, and more.
The genius of this book is that it is immediately understandable and usable by the beginner, while the expert will find a wealth of information in the cross references, annotated bibliography, and more.
If you are interested in the occult, this book is a must.
