It traces how Western occultists and esotericists have engaged with East Asia, appropriating textual icons such as the \u003ci\u003eDaodejing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eYijing\u003c\/i\u003e, or figures such as Fuxi, Laozi, and Confucius into their perennialist cosmos. The resulting amalgam of globally negotiated tropes, or \"Occult East Asia,\" has co-shaped the imagery and appreciation of East Asia in a range of discourses that extend far beyond alternative religious circles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLukas K.
