Learning by mystery could be translated as learning by reflection and not
by dictum.
Example is Sokrates, Mithras cult, Isis, and modern freemasonry.
I would personally regard Samurai and Jedi as full blooded mystics. As they have a a defined spiritual context, a defined way, and enlightement (important) by reflection.
The Taraltaran whirling blade mystic seem to me like a cross breed of dervishes(turkish dance freaks) and samurai (Zen practitioners) Ie ritual sword dance to enforce myth and gain insight.
Furthermore even if they are not mystics they should be to add more game fun ;-)
