If you're interested in this topic invest in an oversiZed soft cover copy of Manly P. Hall's
Secret Teachings of The Ages. It'z the ultimate overview of Western Alchemy and Masons.
You'll have to find your info on Eastern/Asian Alchemy elsewhere. Most of it iz internal....
thus The Jade Emperor's Mindseal Classic or The Kybalion.
 
Your continued donations keep Wikipedia running!

Manly Palmer Hall

Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 - August 29, 1990) was a prolific Canadian-born author and mystic. He is perhaps most famous for his work The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy, which he published at the age of twenty five; the first line of which is, "Philosophy is the science of estimating values."

He has been widely recognized as a leading scholar in the fields of religion, mythology, mysticism, and the occult.

Carl Jung, when writing Psychology and Alchemy, borrowed material from Hall's private collection.

In 1934 Manly P. Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, California, dedicating it to an idealistic approach to the solution of human problems. The PRS claims to be non-sectarian and entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control, the Society's programs stress the need for the integration of philosophy, religion, and science into one system of instruction. The PRS Library, a public facility devoted to source materials in obscure fields, has many rare and scarce items now impossible to obtain elsewhere.

In 1973 Mr. Hall was recognized as a 33º Mason (the highest rank possible in the Scottish Rite), at a ceremony held at PRS on December 8th. [1]

In his long career, spanning more than seventy years of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered over 7,500 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 150 books and essays, and wrote countless magazine articles.


Works

  • Selected Major Works
    • The Secret Teachings of All Ages, 1928 www PRS Considered his magnum opus, originally published in an expensive, lavishly-illustrated edition, the Secret Teachings was venerated by occultists but little known to the general public. However, seventy-five years after its initial appearance, the Secret Teachings was made available for the first time to the broader reading public. The book covers a wide range of broadly esoteric topics, including Pythagoreanism, alchemy, Hermetic doctrine, the Kabala, Ancient Egyptian Mystery doctrines, Native American myths, cryptograms, the Tarot, and Rosicrucianism.
