Arcanum
Arcanum was a 1996 album released by Acoustic Alchemy, their penultimate release on the GRP jazz label. The production on this album differed from normal; the band recorded the disc live at Pinewood Film Studios, London, UK. They enlisted the help of the London Metropolitan Orchestra to provide backing. The album contained twelve tracks, three of which were new, and the others re-recordings of tracks selected from the band's discography to this point. Footage from some of the recording of this album appears on the GRP video release, "Best Kept Secret".
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Arcanum
ärk-ān′um, n. a secret: a mystery: a secret remedy or elixir:—pl. Arcan′a.—adj. Arcane′ (rare). [L.—arcanus—arca, a chest.]

Examples of arcanum in a Sentence
Remember that the Tarot is a great and sacred arcanum - its abuse is an obscenity in the inner and a folly in the outer. It is intended for quite other purposes than to determine when the tall dark man will meet the fair rich widow.
