Basically the TL;DR here is: track down and read folklore, fairytales, and myths, from any authentic source. It doesn't matter how short, childish, or insignificant they seem:
"Ordinary consciousness experiences these images without understanding their real content. The more these images or phantasms appear to be extravagant or incoherent, the more we must suspect the existence of a latent, intelligent, and meaningful content. This is what should be thought in many cases about sagas, legends, adventures, myths, and even fairy tales. And so it often happens that the most fantastic, strange, improbable and incoherent aspect, which is less likely to have an aesthetic or historical value and therefore is usually set aside, eventually offers the best way to understand the central element that bestows upon such compositions its true sense and at times even its higher historical meaning." - Julius C. Evola, The Mystery of the Grail.

"According to Guenon, Confucianism was the exoteric form and Daoism the esoteric form of the Chinese religion. Buddhism is a special case, since it was at its inception primarily a metaphysic and a path of self-development. As such, it could be absorbed into other traditions, as happened in China and Japan. In India, its metaphysical teaching become incorporated into Advaita Vedanta so it barely survives as a separate religion." - Cologero Salvo of Gornahoor, from the comments of the article "The Exoteric Path"

Of all traditional doctrines, perhaps Islamic doctrine most clearly distinguishes the two complementary parts, which can be labeled exoterism and esoterism.
In Arabic terminology, these are the shari‘ah, literally the ‘great way’, common to all, and the haqiqah, literally the ‘inward truth’, reserved to an elite, not because of some arbitrary decision, but by the very nature of things, since not all men possess the aptitudes or ‘qualifications’ required to reach knowledge of the truth.
To express their respective ‘outward’ and ‘inward’ natures, exoterism and esoterism are often compared to the ‘shell’ (qishr) and the ‘kernel’ (lubb), or to the circumference and its center.
