—Edgar Mitchell, Sc.D., Apollo 14 Astronaut



“A masterful summation of the esoteric teachings of the ages.”

—Huston Smith, Ph.D., Author, The Worlds Religions



“Into this volume has been compressed the quintessence of a colossal learning. It is a living human document, pulsating with the mental and spiritual vibrations of a profound thinker who takes knowledge for his province and reduces whole libraries to a single tome.”

—George Barron, Curator of the De Young Museum of San Francisco



“Simply put, this is the most beautiful and complete occult book ever published. 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…this is the definitive guide to secret societies, famous figures, and more—a must for every personal library.”

—Llewellyn New Times



"This volume reveals that the lore and legend of the world, the scriptures and sacred books, and the great philosophical systems all tell the same story. Human ambition may produce the tyrant; divine aspirations will produce the adept.”
