The Initiates of the Flame

2021 Reprint of the 1922 Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Originally published in 1922, The Initiates of the Flame is Hall's first exploration-and still one of his most powerful-of myth and symbol. Its pages shine on a light on the inner meaning of symbols including the pyramid, holy grail, flame of wisdom, ark of the covenant, all-seeing eye, sword and stone, the elements of alchemy, and other gateways to the unseen world. Hall describes the religious/spiritual/philosophical/psychological symbolism of humanity. According to the author, this book is an initiation into the next dimension of existence and confers a transparent understanding of the physical truth embedded within the allegorical symbolism of all religious and philosophical traditions. It remains an enduring work in Symbolism from a Theosophical perspective.
