In this mystical art is Gustave Moreau and the German mystic painting Becklin, etc. All of these gloomy castles and the black knights gradually have fallen into the decadence and moved from Germany to St Petersburg in the flow, which is now for some reason now called "Silver Age", in Ardeko France, Austria Modern, etc. In litereture is Edgar Allan Poe and others in the music of Wagner and others So you see nothing wrong, but interesting.

Probably even simpler: the ignorance and lack of knowledge - the mystic!

 My friends all esoteric - with advanced degrees, often in the sciences, so that about ignorance, I'm sorry ...
Mysticism is defined in general (this link will not give, do not remember where she read) - is the belief that you can and be able to find their own path to a higher power (if you want - to God), without intermediaries.
Mystics may or may not be mages.
Magic - the ability to manipulate energy.
Among the mystics are visionaries, commentators, analysts said.
Most of the artists - natural mystics. Moreover, the Semites, usually tend to ceremonial magic, that is, with the help of signs and symbols, and the Indo-Europeans - to sympathetic - that is, through the image. Apparently, this particular mentality or culture or both of them.
If you want to talk on this subject - write in a personal. Forum still does not know.
