\u201cManly Hall\u2019s great work is a classic in the world\u2019s literature. It will guide historians, philosophers, and lay seekers of esoteric wisdom for centuries.\u201d<\/strong>
\n\u2013\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>Edgar Mitchell, Sc.D., Apollo 14 astronaut<\/h5>\n
Regular readers of this site probably noticed that I often quote this 1927 book in my articles. There is a good reason for this: The Secret Teachings of All Ages<\/em> is, simply put, the ultimate reference in occult symbolism available today. Unlike most \u201cmodern\u201d books about occultism and secret societies\u00a0 \u2013 which are mainly about \u201cdispelling myths\u201d and disinforming the public \u2013 The Secret Teachings of All Ages<\/em> is a genuine effort at transmitting unfiltered knowledge.<\/h5>\n
Through his meticulous yet colorful exploration of occult schools through the ages, Manly P. Hall highlights the common esoteric philosophy that has been handed down from generation to generation \u2013 and from civilization to civilization \u2013 since antiquity. The ultimate goal: Spiritual illumination through the activation of the pineal gland (also known as the \u201cthird eye\u201d). As Hall explores secret societies from past to present, ancient symbols suddenly make sense, folk legends take on a new dimension, and historical mysteries begin to reveal their secrets.<\/h5>\n
Hall dedicated\u00a0The Secret Teachings of All Ages<\/em>\u00a0to the idea that \u201cconcealed within the emblematic figures, allegories and rituals of the ancients is a secret doctrine concerning the inner mysteries of life, which doctrine has been preserved\u00a0in toto<\/em>\u00a0among a small band of initiated minds\u201d.<\/h5>\n
As stated above, this book differs greatly from your\u00a0Freemasonry For Dummies<\/em>-style books of the 21st Century. The Secret Teachings of All Ages<\/em> is not for dummies. It is written by an occultist for occultists. In fact, for decades, the book was not marketed to the general public at all. Until recently,\u00a0The Secret Teachings of All Ages<\/em> was only available in oversized, very expensive editions that were only sought after by dedicated occult researchers.<\/h5>\n

Unlike modern \u201coccult\u201d authors, Manly P. Hall did not shy away from exposing the great influence of Freemasonry and other secret societies on the world today. Furthermore, Hall also did not shy away from explaining how occultism can be used for nefarious purposes through demonology and black magic.<\/h5>\n
In short, there is no agenda or condescension in this book \u2013 only years of research compiled in an original, skillfully written and beautifully illustrated volume. Here are some of the topics discussed in The Secret Teachings of All Ages:<\/em><\/h5>\n
