From the Quarries

Good evening Quarrymen

This weekend I’ll be taking a closer look at Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages (1928), a work that has shaped how many modern readers understand the symbolic traditions of the West.

Hall attempted something rather ambitious: to gather Hermeticism, Pythagorean philosophy, Kabbalah, alchemy, Rosicrucianism, and Freemasonry into a single interpretive framework. The result is a book that is at once impressive, provocative, and occasionally controversial.

This lecture will explore what the book actually contains, the philosophical traditions that inform it, and why it has remained so influential among readers interested in symbolism, initiation, and the history of esoteric thought.

If you know the title but have never examined the work closely, this discussion should provide a useful orientation.
