Renowned philosopher and lecturer Manly P. Hallās masterful encyclopedia of ancient symbols, hidden rituals, and arcane practices has remained a classic since first published in 1928. Hallās densely detailed writings explore topics ranging from Hermeticism to Tarot, Egyptian mythology to Pythagorean theory.
Each chapter is accompanied by the vivid illustrations of artist J. Augustus Knapp, with additional images by Mihran Serailian found in the companion volume, each taking their own unique approach to nearly 60 artworks depicting occult subject matter.
The initial concept for what became known as Hallās āGreat Bookā, first began in 1923 when the young Los Angeles-based orator began a months-long trip around the globe. Circumnavigating by ship, Hall visited Egypt, China and India, immersing himself in the philosophical and religious history of each country. Upon his return he spent the next seven years penning his massive compendium of philosophy and myth.Nearly a century after its release, this iconic masterwork has been reproduced for the first time from the rare and extravagant original edition.
This meticulously-restored version of Hallās āGreat Bookā is also accompanied by an expansive companion book, featuring condensed summaries of each chapter of The Secret Teachings, alongside newly-discovered artworks, rare photography from Hallās archives as well as essays from journalists Mitch Horowitz and Jessica Hundley.
