Manly P. Hall is my favorite author and philosopher.

I love everything about his writing. secret teachings is my personal favorite work. I have read it 3 times.

A good listen

Not what I was expecting but still pleased with this one. Lots of relating information from throughout the world compiled neatly into one place.

It doesn't really go into modern occult uses.

It was okay. It is definitely hermetic in nature and it was more of an overview of occult history rather than an educational reference to uses of gems and metals in spiritual practice. I thought it would have more applicable information, so I'm a little disappointed. it's essentially a "this is how the earth was used by ceremonial magicians in the past according to our opinion" and I felt like some of it was completely irrelevant to the discussion entirely.
