Rosicrucians, Freemasons & Secret Societies

The Secret Teachings of All Ages

by Manly P. Hall

Manly P. Hall's encyclopedic survey of esoteric traditions, first published in 1928, covering Hermeticism, Qabalah, alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Pythagorean number, mythology, symbolism and the ancient mysteries. Lavishly illustrated, it presents these traditions through Hall's perennialist outlook. Although its scholarship is dated and many claims cannot be verified, it remains a widely read compendium of Western esoteric lore and a historically important document of twentieth-century occult interest.
