From primitive times to modern times, human minds have always wondered
mysterious and paranormal entities, and they have questioned the power behind all of
these mysterious things. In time, having knowledge of cabbalistic entities including
the specific language have related with witches. So, this thesis proposes to illustrate
the first three Earthsea novels (a Wizard of Earthsea, the Tombs of Atuan, and the
Farthest Shore), which are enriched by fantastic, rich details of occultist customs and
kabbalist features, and were inspired by many myths, and histories from the East and
West about magic and witchcraft. Furthermore, this report aims to show the
connections among symbols, specific names called” true names”, the power of
language, an equilibrium between nature and magic, a reflection of witches being
good or bad under the power of alchemy, reincarnation, astrology and telepathy in
the first three Earthsea books, and how Guin harmoniously demonstrated occultist
features and fantastic literary elements in the Earthsea series. This thesis purports to
utilize an analysis of occultism through the ways that Le Guin constructed the
selected novels involving occult tradition. Le Guin demarcated her fantastic novels in
such a way that their storylines were intertwined within the fantasy elements that are
filtered through the occult notion(s). Therefore, while assessing a meticulous analysis
on Le Guin’s first three Earthsea books (The Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of
Atuan, and The Farthest Shore), a reader can come across the stems of alchemy, and
through one of the novels, might disembark at a part which is filled with occult
elements rather than mere sorcery and magic.
