The concepts of Mysteries in general were touched upon on page 91 of ArM5, and the Outer Mystery of each of the Mystery Cults were provided on pages 91-93.
The mechanics of Mysteries are included in Houses of Hermes: Mystery Cults and in The Mysteries Revised Edition. The latter includes Mysteries, as well as Mysteries that are so open that any Magus may learn them without joining a Mystery Cult. The Mysteries Revised Edition also includes a lexicon at page 7.
