- A mystagogue is a person who initiates others into mystic beliefs, an educator or person who has knowledge of the Sacred Mysteries or magick. In ancient mystery religions, a mystagogue would be responsible for leading an initiate into the secret teachings and rituals of the cultus. The initiate would often be blindfolded, and the mystagogue would literally "guide" him into the sacred space. In the early church, this same concept was used to describe the bishop, who was responsible for seeing to it that the catechumens were properly prepared for baptism. Homilies given to those in the last stages of preparation, and which deal with the Sacraments are called "Mystagogical Homilies. " Sometimes these mystagogical instructions were not given until after the catechumen had been baptized. The most famous of these mystagogical works are the "Mystagogical Homilies" of St. Cyril of Jerusalem and the work, "On the Mysteries" by St. Ambrose of Milan. In various organizations, it is the role of the mystagogue to "mystify" pledges. The term is sometimes used to refer to a person who guides people through religious sites, such as churches, and explains the various artifacts. This branch of theology is at times called mystagogy. Max Weber, considered to be one of the founders of the modern study of sociology, described the mystagogue as part magician, part prophet; and as one who dispersed "magical actions that contain the boons of salvation" According to Roy Wallis, "The primary criterion that Weber had in mind in distinguishing the prophet from the mystagogue was that the latter offers a largely magical means of salvation rather than proclaiming a radical religious ethic or an example to be followed."
- Mystagogie (von griechisch mystagogein "in die Mysterien einführen") bezeichnet ursprünglich die Unterweisung von Jüngern in einen antiken Mysterienkult. Der unterweisende Priester heißt Mystagoge. In der neueren römisch-katholischen Theologie bezeichnet Mystagogie eine besondere Einführung in den christlichen Glauben, die davon ausgeht, dass ein Gläubiger bereits Glaubenserfahrungen kennt, deren Bedeutung ihm aber noch nicht umfassend klar sind. Karl Rahner hat dafür den Begriff der mystagogischen Katechese geprägt.
- La mystagogie permet à ceux qui ont vécu des sacrements d'en recueillir l'expérience et les fruits. Ainsi, dans une société où tout est à expliquer, la mystagogie invite, à la manière des premiers chrétiens, à laisser dans les pratiques liturgiques la parole aux rites et permettre aux nouveaux chrétiens d'exprimer leur propre expérience. Cette tradition est ancienne; on trouve un bon exemple de mystagogie dans Les Catéchèses de Saint Cyrille de Jérusalem.
