NEW : THE CELTIC LEGEND OF TALIESIN

Lux Orientalis was born from six years of research narrated in the book « Yi King : un chemin initiatique » published by France’s leading editor in esotericism, Guy Tredaniel. This book revealed that the structure of the oldest book in China, the I Ch’ing, was built on a pattern common to numerous myths, legends and holy texts in East and West. This pattern consists in a succession of eight symbolic representations. It is present in Saint John’s gospel, Marseilles’ tarot, Hercules’ works, the cult of Mithra, the myth of Isis, the Free-masonry ritual, the quest of the Graal, a tale on alchemy and rosicrucian, a Maori myth, an African legend, an episode of the Indian Mahabharata, an American Indian creation myth, a celtic legend and even in the Sumerian Genesis, a 4000 year-old myth.

Discover this universal pattern, its presence in the world and its origin. Become yourself a contributor to Lux Orientalis: do you know, in your own culture, a myth, a legend, a holy text, an initiatory or artistic ritual which has common points with this pattern? Then clic on Your Contribution and we shall see together to include it in this site, while quoting you as a contributor.     

Let us travel on the surface of Earth, let us bring together what is parted and find what has been lost!

Welcome to Lux Orientalis.
