I don't care for all the accumulations of establishment-opinions: i want functional truth!
Update: i just discovered how helpful-in-understanding the
"Fundamentals of Qabbalistic Cosmogeny" chapter is...
...having made several attempts at understanding the Jewish esoteric kind of thinking, this shows how sane it, in some ways, can be ( :
Tarot section... get instead Elisabeth Haich's
"Wisdom of the Tarot"
( i have never succeeded in falsifying anything fundamental in Elisabeth Haich's instruction...
Do remember she was born Hungarian & wrote in Swiss German: we have English translations,
& she was working in the mid-1900s )
For Rosicrucian esoterica & Tantra, again Elizabeth Haich: "Sexual ENERGY & Yoga".
( get also Dr. David Frawley's "Yoga for YOUR Type" )
& for those who want a taste of the ancient knowledge:
Elizabeth Haich's "Initiation" is like this work but without all the accumulated gumph...
& Nicolai Notovich's "Unknown Jesus" book ( or is it Unknown Life of Jesus??
Look up
Notovich Jesus
and you should find it...
also trashes some accumulated gunk:
Jesus laced-into ANYone who hoarded privelege/authority through religion!
Brahmin, Zoroastrian, Roman, Jewish, he didn't care!
I love the guy...
As for this book?
Useful as a resource for what seems involved in any specific-subject...
But, as i say, for each specific domain, if you can find a source for unadulterated-truth of that domain's kind, stick to that!
Ramakrishna Vivekananda's Complete Works would also be a good investment in one's life, to read through ( it is on kindle )...
Namaste!

This book has very small font size making readability difficult.
Also, this book has ZERO IMAGES. The original contains many images of esoterica that should not by missed by the reader.
I have a PDF on my iPad that has the images, but I would like a printed edition for easier reference as it extremely informative and illuminating.

Please be aware when buying this book. The one I received had the first 100 (or so) pages printed in backwards order. So if you were reading it you would have to read the right page first, then the left page, and then turn the pages from left to right to read on. The second half (or so) of the book was printed normally. As this was a gift I am glad I opened the book to check. Not being familiar with Amazon I will try to get a refund, although the low original price may not make it worth the effort.

A lot is to be learned in this book. There are also many misconceptions and dangerous perversions. It is valuable, but watch yourself when you're reading it and don't take it as gospel, as you should with anything you read.

The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy by Manly P. Hall
Acclaimed by Publishers Weekly as "a classic reference, dizzying in its breadth," this volume explores the themes underlying ancient mythology, philosophy, and religion. Hundreds of entries range from esoteric elements of Islamic and Christian history to arcane rituals practiced by Druids, Freemasons, alchemists, and other secret societies. 16 pages of color plates, 100 black-and-white illustrations.

I highly recommend this book to anyone already fascinated with the subject and also to anyone new to the subject. The style is in an « encyclopedic outline » as it says on the back cover, it makes a very informative, compelling read, it is hard to put down. You are in for a treat, it’s a big six hundred page brick full of lack and white illustrations and a central section with colour plates!

Incomplete publication. A clear breach of contract to supply a product pertaining to be a true completeness of the original work
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2017Verified Purchase
Whilst this may be a very good book well written, logically building upon the ( recent ancient history of the mysteries) the foundation of the the source of mysteries I have found in the first two chapters only go as far back as circa 3000 years.
What is the crucial flaw in the digital publication , at the end of the first three chapters it seems to have some text missing.
I would advise against buying the digital version. As one gets settled into reading a chapter only to find that all the chapters of the book are incomplete.
A rip off and disservice to the writer and the body of knowledge that is herein articulated.

A huge disappointment and to be quite frank it's a rip-off

Save your money and don't buy this version. This copy omits large parts of the original text and has no illustrations. The text is so small and tightly condensed you will need a magnifying glass to read it. A huge disappointment and to be quite frank it's a rip-off.

DONT BUY FROM LANGTON_INFO
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2018Verified Purchase
The book itself is great. Very insightful especially if you are interested in these subject matters, HOWEVER, I purchased the book from a company called LANGTON_INFO who I believe do not even hold stock of the item. They just source the item you are interested in buying. I though I bought the Diamond Jubilee Edition but it was a 2017 Reprint of the Diamond Jubilee Edition that was printed in China. I don’t know if I have a Rare misprint of the book but there was a page in the book which was blurry like there was a mistake on the printing machine which I have uploaded pictures of. It looks worse to the naked eye & also another page - A Portrait Of William Shakespeare with Francis Bacon superimposed however it seems to have been put in or printed the wrong way. You can clearly see in the photos I have uploaded. In short, double them triple check what you are buying as some sellers do not put all the relevant details in such as it being a 2017 reprint. I won’t return the book due to the fact I managed to purchase it for £85 & the prices for the same edition have doubled, tripled in some instances & even more expensive from other selllers.

A marvellous piece of work with a broad spectrum of ancient teachings, philosophy, symbolism and metaphor. This book will broaden your mind, although it can be heavy going in places. A must have. I would love the big version in hardback to appreciate some of the illustrations. Not a quick read but well worth the effort

A true guiding light in understanding the origins of religion, it's births and rebirths and it's influences on the human psyche.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2015Verified Purchase
Probably the most insightful book I have ever read. Hall was an exceptional individual with a captivatingly easy manner. This was an absorbing read. Having said that, I had thought that I was suitably prepared for this having just studied Blavatsky's writings on Isis, but I frequently found myself putting it down, but only to take notes, lest a morsel of the accumulated knowledge in this great work should elude me. It's difficult to believe tbat he was so young when he wrote this, because knowledge and understanding at this depth, is more consistent with a lifetime of searching for and finding such ancient pearls of wisdom.
