The Secret Teachings of All Ages
The Secret Teachings of All Ages is a comprehensive encyclopedia of the esoteric. For anyone interested in Mysticism, the occult, esotericism, or spirituality, this book is a MUST OWN. It discusses the incredibly vast amount of wisdom passed down from all the true philosophical and religious schools of the past. This book covers the following topics thoroughly : the Ancient Mystery Schools, Atlantis, Freemasonry, Hermeticism, Pythagoras, Ceremonial Magick, Occultism, Qabbalah, Rosicrucianism, Alchemy (It’s theory and practice AS WELL AS famous alchemists and their stories), Mystical Christianity, Gnosticism, and much more!
The legendary author of this great book, Manly Palmer Hall, was a genius sage, writer, and speaker. He wrote many books, but he acknowledged this one as his greatest accomplishment. He also founded the PRS (Philosophical Research Society) which still operates today, and gave thousands of recorded lectures towards the end of his life.
Although I decided to read this book cover to cover, it is more commonly used as an occult encyclopedia, to be referenced whenever needed. However you use it though, I HIGHLY recommend owning this book.
