Overview
The term 'Far Eastern Magic' is a broad and largely Western concept, referring to a wide range of esoteric and hidden spiritual practices rooted in the cultures of India, Nepal, Tibet, China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia and others, often characterized by elements of mysticism, magic and traditions like those found in Hinduism, Buddhism and Daoism.These systems frequently focus on inner alchemy, personal enlightenment, understanding hidden universal powers and utilizing specific spiritual disciplines or ritual, for self-transformation or influence over the world.From the 18th century onwards, Western scholars have studied eastern magic and since the 19th century, its philosophies have become integrated into western spiritual beliefs.With over 200 illustrations, this introduction to the mystical symbols and scripts of Indian and Chinese cosmic philosophy is a western overview of far-eastern magic for artists and students of mystical and religious belief systems.
