Alexandra David-Neel has been interested throughout her life in the sometimes most extravagant magical-religious beliefs and practices, while deploring the credulity of their Western and Eastern followers. Her fourteen-year journey to the Orient allowed her to venture beyond the geographical and psychological limits accepted in Europe.
The magicians and mystics she encountered in Tibet embody, in her eyes, both the popular and intellectual aspects of a spiritual training incomparable to Western religious practices. Alexandra David-Neel, philosopher and mystic, has always strived to understand what lies behind seemingly absurd beliefs and behaviors.
