It was written around 1190 and sets out to explain a lot of the Old Testament doctrine. The third book provides a detailed explanation of Ezekiel’s chariot.

Well the publication of this book pissed off a ton of the top brass in the Jewish community at the time. They set out to create a mystical response called the Zohar that is somewhat considered “secret” doctrine of the Jews and is the central document of all things Kabbalah

The Kabbalah is a common theme in nearly ALL the mystery societies, from the higher degrees of Free Masonry to the Rosicrucians to Aleister Crowley’s Thelema.

Interesting stuff to say the least that gets buried in history.

I totally agree big Croot. In Jordan Peterson's book "Maps of Meaning - The Architecture of Belief" he begins with mythology and builds his case from there about how all religions sprang from the mythological womb and all tell basically the same story with twists of superficial elements while leaving the core story the same. In his follow up book "An Antidote to Chaos" he gets into neuropsychology and connects religious dogma that has been around for ever. If you never read any of his work, it was tailor made for you.
