    A person who prepares an initiate for entry into a mystery cult, or who teaches mystical doctrines.

    It's just because I have picked up a little about mystics that I have no use for mystagogues. Real mystics don't hide mysteries, they reveal them. They set a thing up in broad daylight, and when you've seen it it's still a mystery. But the mystagogues hide a thing in darkness and secrecy, and when you find it, it's a platitude.

词源

From Latin mystagōgus, Ancient Greek μυσταγωγός (mustagōgós). By surface analysis, mystic + -agogue.
