The Canon: An Exposition of the Pagan Mystery Perpetuated in the Cabala As the Rule of All the Arts is a book written by William Stirling. It is a comprehensive study of the Cabala, which is a system of Jewish mysticism that seeks to understand the nature of God and the universe.

The first part provides an overview of the Cabala and its history, while the second part focuses on the symbolism of the Cabala. The third part explores the connections between the Cabala and other ancient religions, while the fourth part examines the role of the Cabala in the arts, including music, architecture, and painting.
