«Le Sortilège du mystère» is Alexandra David-Néel's essay on spirituality and occultism, published by Pocket in paperback, in French.
In this posthumous book, drawn from her notes, Alexandra David-Néel gathers forays into the world of spiritists, occultists and secret sects during her travels through East and West.

For those interested in spirituality, esotericism and the explorer's travel accounts, with a critical eye on occultism and sects.
Alexandra David-Néel was a French explorer, spiritualist, Buddhist, anarchist, opera singer, and writer. She is most known for her 1924 visit to Lhasa, Tibet, when it was forbidden to foreigners. David-Néel wrote over 30 books about Eastern religion, philosophy, and her travels, including Magic and Mystery in Tibet, which was published in 1929. Her teachings influenced the beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, the popularisers of Eastern philosophy Alan Watts and Ram Dass, and the esotericist Benjamin Creme.
