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.
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.
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.
A high-ranking Mason offers a fascinating glimpse into the Western
world's most secretive society. Manly P. Hall, a scholar of occult
and esoteric ideas, traces the path followed by initiates to the
ancient craft. Hall also recounts the ethical training required of
a Freemason, and he profiles the character traits a Mason must
"build" within himself.
More than a mere social organization a few centuries old,
Freemasonry can be regarded as a perpetuation of the philosophical
mysteries and initiations of the ancients. This book reveals the
unique and distinctive elements that have inspired generations of
Masons. Thoughtful members of the craft, as well as outsiders, will
appreciate its exploration of Masonic idealism and the eternal
quest, from humble candidate to entered apprentice and master
Mason.
