An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic, and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy being an Interpretation of the Secret Teachings concealed within the Rituals, Allegories, and Mysteries of All Ages
By Manly P. Hall
First published in 1928, Manly P. Hall’s mammoth encyclopedia of esoteric symbols and traditions The Secret Teachings of All Ages has influenced and inspired generations of readers, scholars and seekers with its interpretations of the themes underlying the ancient mythology, philosophy, religion, rituals, and arcane mysteries of all ages. The breathtaking illustrations by artist John Augustus Knapp – gorgeous visions of Atlantean temples, Delphic oracles and Mithraic gods, swirling with color and arcane symbols – are among the most admired and widely imitated works in esoteric art in the 20th century.
For nearly a century, The Secret Teachings of All Ages has been treasured and studied as one of the most influential texts on esoteric and metaphysical traditions ever written.
This deluxe new hardcover edition, based on the 1977 Diamond Jubilee 50th anniversary edition, features greatly improved reproductions of 54 full-color plates by illustrator John August Knapp, taken from the rare original copies of the artworks in the PRS Library collection, along with new cover art by Nikoo Bafti incorporating Knapp's original artwork.
"The book is like unto a door – a gate, in some old sanctuary, containing within it a wealth of imagery; a wealth of mysteries, designs and figures. When you have wandered therein you might say to yourself: 'I wish I had a guide to tell me what these things mean.' And you will find your guide to be your own rational soul." -Manly P. Hall, Lecture on Esotericism and Exotericism, 1928
MANLY P. HALL (1901-1990), widely regarded as a sage and teacher steeped in the wisdom of antiquity, was one of the leading esoteric scholars of the twentieth century. In 1934, he founded the Philosophical Research Society (www.prs.org) in Los Angeles, which continues to publish Hall’s many works and pursue his educational mission.
