A KEY TO THE MYSTERIES

No other book in history has done more to clarify the Esoteric, mystical, and occult traditions of the world than Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages. Now, historian Mitch Horowitz provides the first companion work to Hall’s opus. The Secret Teachings of All Ages helps twenty=first-century readers enter and experience (or re-experience) Hall’s hallowed pages and also clarifies and expands on some of the book’s key themes and topics.

Mitch explores developments and historical discoveries since hall published his “Great Book” nearly a century ago and adds fresh dimensions to subjects including:

• The antiquity and legacy of Ancient Egypt.
• The mystical origins of the world’s major faiths.
• Strange beasts and anomalies in history and today.
• The origins and esotericism of Tarot.
• Secret Societies in Myth and Fact.
• The enduring relevance of astrology.

Authorized by Manly P. Hall’s Philosophical Research Society, The Secret Teachings of All Ages is a feast of esoteric exploration on its own and a worthy companion to history’s unparalleled encyclopedia arcana.

“Mitch is a fantastic tour guide to the fringes of reason, high weirdness, deep esoterica, secret societies, and mystery religions.” –BoingBoing

“Has the rare gift of making the esoteric accessible to discerning masses.” –HuffPost

“He had no conscious knowledge of death, but like every animal of the Wild, he possessed the instinct of death.”

This companion to The Call of the Wild is a thrilling adventure novel written in 1906 by American author Jack London. Set in the Yukon Territory during the 1890’s Klondike Gold Rush, it follows White Fang, a mangy wolf-dog hybrid, with sharp teeth and claws to match, as he embarks on a struggle for survival on his journey of self-discovery.

After his mother is killed, White Fang.is adopted by a man who teaches him the way of the wild and introduces him to the harsh realities of life. After being sold to a cruel, abusive owner, he manages to escape and is taken in by a kind Gold Rush prospector named Bill. Through him, White Fang gains an understanding of the value of friendship and loyalty, developing a strong bond with the humans he meets along the way. Their kindness, along with the many adventures and significant challenges he faced, teach White Fang important lessons about life, love, and survival.

There is no doubt of the author’s great love for animals. The novel, much of which is written from the viewpoint of White Fang, enables London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans, but it is easy to see the conflict that could be caused when these two species co-exist together.

"Someone must have been telling tales about Josef K. for one morning, without having done anything wrong, he was arrested.'

From this gripping first sentence, The Trial, by Franz Kafka, is a darkly humorous, somewhat terrifying narrative of an ordeal faced by Josephy K., a bank clerk, who wakes up one day to find himself arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority who accuses him of a crime he did not commit. In a maze of nonsensical rules and bureaucratic roadblocks Joseph K.’s entrapment is based on an undisclosed charge and the nature of his crime is never revealed to him nor to the reader.

Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on a regular basis--an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved. His trial is conducted in a mysterious court, outwardly co-operative, but capable of horrific violence. As Josef K. gradually succumbs to the psychological pressure, he consults various advisers but cannot escape his fate. He finds himself in an excruciating downward spiral.

Was there some way out that he failed to see? Is this study of political power a pessimistic religious parable, or is it a crime novel where the accused man is himself the problem?

This engrossing parable about the human condition is one of Kafka’s best known works. This ordinary man’s ordeals raise provocative, ever-relevant issues related to guilt, responsibility, freedom, the role of government and the nature of justice. Kafka offers no solutions, but provokes his readers to arrive at meanings of their own.

"Rather than living our lives, we are ‘lived’ by unknown and uncontrollable forces." — Sigmund Freud (The Ego and the Id)

The Ego and the Id is one of Sigmund Freud's most influential works. According to this 1923 study, all human behaviors and traits derive from the complicated interactions of three elements of the psyche: the id, the ego, and the superego.

The root of Sigmund Freud's approach to psychiatric treatment lies in bringing the id, the secret source of human passion, to the surface and explains how it remains in constant conflict with the ego, which was formed to negotiate the id's interactions with reality and the superego, the moralistic part of the mind which remains in constant conflict with the id's demands. Freud goes on to explore the concepts of the life force and the death force and the anxieties driven by fear, morality, and guilt.

Although the concept of the unconscious was not Freud's invention, he brought it into popular awareness, pioneering its use in treating mental conditions. It is one of his most insightful works on the topic and one of Freud’s most influential works in understanding human behavior, mental processes, and personality. His ideas remain influential to this day in psychotherapy, psychology, and psychiatry and is for anyone wishing to understand their own mind or that of others.

"When I am king, they shall not have bread and shelter only, but also teachings out of books; for a full belly is little worth where the mind is starved, and the heart." 

Mark Twain's 1881 historical satire The Prince and the Pauper is a classic adventure of mistaken identity that champions social justice.  Set in two very different socioeconomic worlds of 16th-century England, this treasured classic tells the story of two young boys who were born on the same day and are identical in appearance—Tom Canty, a penniless pauper, and Edward VI son of Henry VIII of England and heir to the throne—who, through a series of events, switch places and live each others’ lives.

During a chance encounter the two boys, born in rival social classes in Tudor London, realize that they are identical and amused by how similar they look, decide it would be fun to swap clothes and exchange roles — a game that briefly, but drastically, alters the lives of both of them.

The Prince, dressed in rags, wanders about the city's bustling neighborhoods among the lower classes and endures a series of hardships. Tom, now living with the royal family, is constantly filled with dread, fearful of being discovered for who and what he really is.

This satirical novel about the thin line that separates prince and pauper is brimming with humor, rising tension and visual detail, and remains one of Twain's most popular and best-loved novels of all time,
