Manly P. Hall tells a story about the history of todays religions, alchemy,mythical creatures etc.

I liked the fact the book doesn’t hold back and gives us truths on many topics from free masonry to Christianity symbolism

Outdated but still essential

This book touches on almost all topics in western Esotericism. New things have been learned in the 60 years since this was written, but it gives you all the topics to study if you're intersted.

BEST BOOK EVER!!!

This book is a life changer! The very thing that I've looked for without knowing it for a very long time.

Beware of biased reviews

The presentation is excellent and very interesting. The reader is terrific. Some commenters attempt to detract suggesting a false annoying accent and a poor recording. I can see how some people can be disappointed but not for the reasons given. The book shows many sources that predate the religions and philosophies that are now claimed as divinely inspired and original ideas. Reading proof of previous ideas of which following religions basically copied as their own and disregarded the sources is bound to ruffle feathers. That sort of attitude is a sign of ancestor worship or idol worship. The lashing out in the form of false reviews is designed to continue an illusion and to mislead others perhaps for the sake of control and manipulation.

LOVED IT!

I cannot wait to listen to his book again. So much information. This book is time well spent.

Exactly what the title says.

Best unified source of esoteric understanding I've ever seen in one place!! The narrator was wonderful, and I'm sure much wider by the end!

My kind of thing

I have the physical copy of this book and had a hard time getting thru it however listening to the audio book I was able to get to the end

Great wisdom. Not for everyone.

Great wisdom. Not for everyone. Easy to listen but deep, very deep knowledge. Definitely recommend. I have to listen again.

One of the Greatest Books Ever Written

There are not any other audio versions of this great work, and it a work every human should read or hear. The recording quality is excellent and the pace is good. However, Brandt’s accent is contrived and inconsistent. He sometimes softens his r’s in a silly way and his frequent and inconsistent exaggeration of sh sounds is obnoxious and unauthentic. They should have gotten Mitch Horowitz to read this important work.
