The Key to the Hidden: the Wisdom of the Druids, the Swastika, the Pact with Nature, Merlin the Magician, the Legend of the Grail, the Mystery of ... Secret of Buddha and Jesus
Throughout this fabulous adventure, the author takes us to the pursuit of lost torches in the past and of those who carried them to instruct us on the Grail, on his legend and his inner truth, on the fact that Druids had known it long before Joseph of Arimathea put himself in march westward, that the seven Hindu Rishis had known it before the Druids and that there had been, on the whole earth, small communities to worship it.
In this book, the author makes us explore the wisdom of the Druids, the Swastika, the legacy of the Albigensians, Merlin the Enchanter, the legend of the Grail, the mystery of Tarot, the Ark of the Covenant of the Jews, the mission of the Bohemians, and the secret of Buddha and the one of Jesus.
In The Key to the Hidden, Maurice Magre broaches subjects sometimes taboo, with a rare lucidity and competence.

This is poorly written companion piece to Mark Booth’s genius Secret History of the World. There are some interesting ideas presented in this book, but it wanders aimlessly trying to tie together Gallic Druidry to the secret doctrines of Jesus and Buddha via Tarot.
I find the parts about the initial use of the swastika fascinating as I had always known it was both used in Hinduism and Buddhism prior to being bastardized but Hitler and the Nazi party…this book had an opportunity to explain why someone like Hitler might use this symbol, as it represents the power of fire and sun as a god…the author completely ignores its bastardization which is significant. I was not aware that it was also found in Europe prior to the establishment of the Nazi party. It was used as a symbol of godliness and knowledge.
I do also think that many of our greatest philosophies and religions have a secret meaning that are shared with one another-Buddha and Christ for instance are used in this book as Witting accomplices(along with Apollonyus, Plato, Pythagoras, etc)in a grand scheme of cosmic chess trying to bring the enlightened the key to the meaning of life…but the secret itself can never be understood by the foolish thus making its exposure a new layer of secrecy.
This book beyond a loose narrative, both historically and structurally, also suffers from lack of editing. Some paragraphs are structurally written in such a way that it seems translated from a non western language thus making it indecipherable. Words are often misspelled and sentence structure make you feel like a drunk Yoda wrote pieces of this book…weird.
I’m a nutshell, Julius Caesar is largely responsible for our hatred towards the occult, namely Druidry, which was an ancient religious sect who understood the universe. Buddha and Christ tried to reveal the same things as they did, because there is a common link between all religions and traditions and the only way to access them is by chastely reading tarot…oh also Merlin and King Arthur were carriers of this message.
The end .
