And if you are knowledgeable of Manly P. Hall and this text, you already understand. I have had this for many years in my personal collection. I believe it is one of top ten books you can read before you die, and one of the classics ever written in human literature.
Even modern Publisher Llewelyn has nothing but high praises for 'Secret Teachings' It represents a lifetime of research into the mythology, symbolism, and magical practices of countless cultures. From the secrets of Isis to the teachings of mystic Christianity, nearly every occult dogma imaginable is represented here. The book is full of giant illustrations, some of which fold out into a magnificent two-page splendor. This is the definitive guide to secret societies, famous figures, and more a must for every personal library.

Ok this would be one of those rare occasions where I actually type a review on one of my books. My friends have asked me this one question. Out of all my books on the occult, magick and things that are suppose to elevate the human conscience.
What book would I recomend to explain it ALL. I would have to say this book. No question about it. Hall can put into everyday language the facts. There is no judgement calls in any of his writings. This book was his first and finest. It took him 3 years or so. Its laid out perfectly in order of sequence.
He takes you step by step through the ages and explains and ties everything together. I wished I would of bought this book back when I was Would of saved me a bunch of money. I've actually read and re-read this book- in sum and in sections- many, many times.
Totally comprehensive, interesting, with an insanely useful bibliography. Good for anyone interested in the supernatural, occult, or secret societies. I was given this book by Genesis P-Orridge in , and it's a treasured possession. It introduced my young mind to exactly what it says in the title. A classic book from the 's that really introduced many, many paradigms to people at the time.
Abe Fabella. This book was a phenomenal adventure into the realm of humanity's symbols and myths. Written with elegance and poise, the words played a dance in the black box of my mind. And, I became present in the scenes and with the human personalities and divine possibilities he so endearingly paints in each cogently crafted chapter. I highly recommend this book for curious and seasoned philosophers, seekers and mystics alike.
It is a resource of knowledge without equal; it is, in fact, the most brilliant book I've ever read. This man is certainly the most egregiously underrated humanist of the previous century.
Read it! Lynne King. I'm writing a review on a book at the moment regarding freemasonry amongst other things, and this book of mine came to mind.
I'm pleased to see that it is on Goodreads. If you're an individual who is interested in secret societies of all ages, well then this is an ideal reference book. It is "an encylopedic outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy" and is fascinating reading, especially the latter, with its symbolism throughout.
Nathan Albright. If a reader is dedicated to reach the end of more than pages of encyclopedic writing, in more than one sense of the word, about esoteric matters, the last words of this book will haunt one's sleep: "The criers of the Mysteries speak again, bidding all men welcome to the House of Light.
