Radu Bikir (born in Moldova, 1991) is an Associate Professor in France who specializes in Chinese religious history and divination. His work explores the meeting points of Taoism, Buddhism, shamanic traditions, and the Yijing (Book of Changes), focusing on spiritual transformation, altered states of consciousness, and mantic practices.

Initiated in Taiwan by a Taoist priest, he trained in advanced meditation methods designed to refine perception and support out-of-body exploration. He later studied with Buddhist and shamanic teachers in China, gaining a deep understanding of traditional esoteric arts. Alongside his research, he has developed extensive knowledge of Western esotericism—from Renaissance hermeticism and alchemy to modern currents of occult philosophy—and examines how these traditions resonate with Asian systems of inner cultivation.

A certified practitioner of spiritual and regressive hypnosis, Radu Bikir integrates hypnotic techniques with his understanding of consciousness studies, offering practical tools for self-discovery and transformation. Beyond academia, he writes science-fiction and scripts graphic novels, blending his mastery of Eastern and Western esoteric lore with creative storytelling to illuminate the unseen dimensions of reality.
