Initiates of the Flame (Deluxe Edition) - Manly P. Hall

Manly P. Hall, born in 1901, is widely considered to be the foremost 20th century author on the nature of the occult. In this book, published again after its initial publication in 1922, Hall explores the various meanings and potencies of different myths and symbols. The pyramid, the holy grail, and the all-seeing eye all hold tremendous import if only we can see it. Moreover, Hall reveals the secrets of alchemy, as well as other gateways to the unseen realms of metaphysical truth. A deluxe edition, the preface from Greg Salver and the introduction from Mitch Horowitz contextualize Hall's writing and update the book for the 21st century.
