The Initiates of the Flame: Deluxe Edition

Description

Manly P. Hall is widely recognized as the preeminent voice of occult scholarship in the twentieth century, famous for his esoteric masterpiece The Secret Teachings of All Ages (1928). Now, in this “deluxe edition,” Hall’s earliest work, The Initiates of the Flame, is reborn with a full complement of illustrations and historical introductions.

Originally published in 1922, The Initiates of the Flame is Hall’s first exploration―and still one of his most powerful―of myth and symbol. Its pages shine on a light on the i er meaning of symbols including the pyramid, holy grail, flame of wisdom, ark of the covenant, all-seeing eye, sword and stone, the elements of alchemy, and other gateways to the unseen world. Edited and reintroduced by popular voice of esoteric spirituality, Mitch Horowitz, and president of the Philosophical Research Society, Greg Salyer, Ph.D., this is the signature presentation of Hall’s landmark.

In his long career, spa ing more than 70 years of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered over 8000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 150 books and essays, and wrote countless magazine articles. Many of Mr.

Hall’s lectures have been transcribed and are available as pamphlets; others were taped live, and the audio recordings are available on CD’s as well.

Today, younger generations are re-discovering the works and words of Manly Hall, finding that the material he put forth so many years ago is still relevant and useful today.

Mr. Hall’s hope for humanity was to learn from the greatest minds of all times so that we may solve current problems – both in society and in self.
