‚The Secret Teachings of All Ages, ‚ authored by Canadian mystic and astrologer Manly P. Hall, was first published in 1928. Regarded as Hall’s magnum opus, this work serves as an extensive introduction to a wide range of esoteric subjects, including the Qabalah, Tarot, Ceremonial Magic, Mystery Religions, Rosicrucianism, Neo-Platonic Philosophy, and Freemasonry. It stands as an encyclopedia of ancient mythology, rituals, symbolism, and the arcane mysteries, featuring over 200 illustrations.
The publication of this book instantly elevated Hall to iconic status within the metaphysical movement. It weaves together the secret teachings that have persisted through centuries, encompassing Druidic, Mithraic, Christian, Gnostic, Odinic, Gothic, Eleusinian, Orphic, Bacchic, Dionysian, Platonic, Atlantean, Cabiric, Hermetic, Zodiacal, Astrological, Chaldean, Delphic, Orphic traditions, and more.
While the book does contain some questionable sections, particularly regarding Islam, the wealth of information on other topics more than compensates for these shortcomings. Reading the entire volume provides a solid foundation for further exploration into these often complex subjects.
