The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Canadian mystic and astrologer Manly P. Hall, was first published in 1928. The book is Hall's magnum opus, and is a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of the Esoteric, including the Qabalah, Tarot, Ceremonial Magic, Mystery Religions, Rosicrucianism, Neo-Platonic Philosophy, and Freemasonry - an encyclopedia of ancient mythology, ritual, symbolism, and the arcane mysteries of the ages with over 200 illustrations. The publishing of the book instantly gave Hall iconic status within the metaphysical movement. It ties together the secret teachings that have existed for centuries, including Druidic, Mithraic, Christian, Gnostic, Odinic, Gothic, Eleusinian, Orphic, Bacchic, Dionysian, Platonic, Atlantean, Cabric, Hermetic, Zodiacal, Astrological, Chaldean, Delphic, Orphic, and more. It definitely contains some questionable parts, like for example the bits on Islam, but the information on other subjects far outweigh these. Reading this in its entirety will put you in good stead to dive further into these often complex subjects.
