A Definitive Edition of the Symbolist Classic by the author of The
Secret Teachings of All Ages Manly P. Hall is widely recognized as
the preeminent voice of occult scholarship in the twentieth
century, famous for his esoteric masterpiece The Secret Teachings
of All Ages (1928). Now, in this "deluxe edition," Hall's earliest
work, The Initiates of the Flame, is reborn with a full complement
of illustrations and historical introductions. Originally published
in 1922, The Initiates of the Flame is Hall's first
exploration--and still one of his most powerful--of myth and
symbol. Its pages shine on a light on the inner meaning of symbols
including the pyramid, holy grail, flame of wisdom, ark of the
covenant, all-seeing eye, sword and stone, the elements of alchemy,
and other gateways to the unseen world. Edited and reintroduced by
popular voice of esoteric spirituality, Mitch Horowitz, and
president of the Philosophical Research Society, Greg Salyer,
Ph.D., this is the signature presentation of Hall's landmark.
The Secret Teachings of All Ages is perhaps the most comprehensive
and complete esoteric encyclopedia ever written. The sheer scope
and ambition of this book are stunning. In this book Manly P. Hall
has successfully distilled the essence of more arcane subjects than
one would think possible. He covers Rosicrucianism and other secret
societies, alchemy, cryptology, Kabbalah, Tarot, pyramids, the
Zodiac, Pythagorean philosophy, Masonry, gemology, Nicholas
Flammel, the identity of William Shakespeare, The Life and
Teachings of Thoth Hermes Trismegistus, The Qabbalah, The Hiramic
Legend, The Tree of the Sephiroth, and Mystic Christianity. There
are more than 200 illustrations included here (and in the trade
paperback edition) many of which have been omitted from other
publisher's editions of this book. This is essential reading for
anyone wishing to explore esoteric knowledge.
Complete in itself, this volume originated as a commentary and
expansion of Manly P. Hall's masterpiece of symbolic philosophy,
"The Secret Teachings of All Ages,"
In "Lectures on Ancient Philosophy," Manly P. Hall expands on the
philosophical, metaphysical, and cosmological themes introduced in
his classic work, "The Secret Teachings of All Ages," Hall wrote
this volume as a reader's companion to his earlier work, intending
it for those wishing to delve more deeply into the esoteric
philosophies and ideas that undergird the Secret Teachings.
Particular attention is paid to Neoplatonism, ancient Christianity,
Rosicrucian and Freemasonic traditions, ancient mysteries, pagan
rites and symbols, and Pythagorean mathematics.
First published in 1929-the year after the publication of Hall's
magnum opus-this edition includes the author's original subject
index, twenty diagrams prepared under his supervision for the
volume, and his 1984 preface, which puts the book in context for
the contemporary reader.

2013 Reprint of 1925 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "The
Hermetic Marriage" explains certain alchemical symbols in the
nature of all things. Taking the chemistry of human relationships
as the basis, this essay describes the true preparation of a
Philosopher's Stone and Elixir of Life, according to the
fundamentals laid down by Hermes and the ancient Egyptian priest
craft. Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) founded the Philosophical Research
Society in 1934, a non-profit organization dedicated to the
dissemination of useful knowledge in the fields of philosophy,
comparative religion and psychology. In his long career, spanning
more than 70 years of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered
over 8000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over
150 books and essays, and wrote countless magazine articles.
Here is Manly P. Hall's classic work on history's most secretive
brotherhood- reset and collected with two additional celebrated
Hall volumes on occult Masonry.
Freemasonry is the subject of perennial fascination-recently the
cover story of a national newsmagazine, the premise of the movie
"National Treasure," and the anticipated basis of a forthcoming
novel by Dan Brown. The twentieth century's great scholar of occult
and esoteric ideas, Manly P. Hall was a Mason himself and nurtured
a lifelong interest in the secret fraternal order, making it the
focus of one of his earliest and best-loved books, "The Lost Keys
of Freemasonry." In this celebrated work, he examines the ethical
training required of a Freemason, and the character traits a Mason
must "build" within himself. Hall's 1923 volume is now reset and
made available exclusively in this new edition, along with the
author's two further classics on Masonry:
- "Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians" (1937), which explores
the roots of Freemasonry in the initiatory temple rites of
Pharaonic Egypt; and
- "Masonic Orders of Fraternity" (1950), a fascinating work of
short history that chronicles the reemergence of Freemasonry in
Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It surveys the
lives of Masonry's modern architects and the secretive
organizations that immediately preceded the brotherhood.
This three-in-one volume features the original illustrations of
each book, for a total of nearly thirty images, including
recreations of scenes and rites from Masonry's unusual history. It
also includes a new index encompassing all three titles.
