A classic since 1928, this masterly encyclopedia of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic, Alchemical and Rosicrucian philosophy is a codex to the ancient esoteric traditions of the world. Manly P Hall shines a rare light on some of the most closely held aspects of myth, religion and philosophy that resound from antiquity to the present day. Handed down by brotherhoods who had to work in secret because of the hostility of church and state, the practices and teachings described in this book are capable of developing the potent abilities latent within the soul, so that we can come into conscious communication with spiritual realities.
