‘New edition of Secret Teachings due soon’

    

I’ve lost count of how many editions of The Secret Teachings of All Ages the Philosophical Research Society has published during the past twenty-four months, but a new printing of the famous 1977 Diamond Jubilee 50th anniversary book is forthcoming, and advance orders are being accepted. From the publicity:

The Secret Teachings of All Ages

Deluxe Edition Now Available

For Pre-Order!

Pre-order discount of $25 off! (Only during pre-order period.)

First published in 1928, Manly P. Hall’s mammoth encyclopedia of esoteric symbols and traditions, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, has influenced and inspired generations of readers, scholars, and seekers with its interpretations of the themes underlying the ancient mythology, philosophy, religion, rituals, and arcane mysteries of all ages. The breathtaking illustrations by artist John Augustus Knapp–gorgeous visions of Atlantean temples, Delphic oracles and Mithraic gods, swirling with color and arcane symbols–are among the most admired and widely imitated works in esoteric art in the 20th century.

For nearly a century, The Secret Teachings of All Ages has been treasured and studied as one of the most influential texts on esoteric and metaphysical traditions ever written. This deluxe new hardcover edition, based on the 1977 Diamond Jubilee 50th anniversary edition, features greatly improved reproductions of fifty-four full-color plates by illustrator John August Knapp, taken from the rare original copies of the artworks in the PRS Library collection, along with new cover art by Nikoo Bafti incorporating Knapp’s original artwork.

This item is expected to ship late January 2025.

“The book is like unto a door–a gate, in some old sanctuary, containing within it a wealth of imagery; a wealth of mysteries, designs and figures. When you have wandered therein you might say to yourself: ‘I wish I had a guide to tell me what these things mean.’ And you will find your guide to be your own rational soul.”

Manly P. Hall,

Lecture on Esotericism and Exotericism

1928
