An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Mysticism: and the Mystery Religions

Ranging from Christian mystical theology to Sufism, from the ancient philosophers to the Cambridge Platonists, from visionaries such as William Blake and the author of The Cloud of Unknowing to the role played by drugs, yoga, music and the dance, this Encyclopaedia provides essential information on the manifold aspects of mysticism and will serve as a comprehensive and valuable work of reference for many years to come. Includes 200 illustrations.
