He points out how religions have generally failed to make sense of the physical and spiritual realms and cer- tainly haven't satisfied the yearnings of those seeking expanded spiritual truth. Enter the secret, mystical societies, which over the millennia have protected sacred knowledge and prevented it from getting into the 'wrong' hands. The traditions cov- ered here are Shamanism, Druidism, the Essenes, Gnosticism, the Kabbala, Alchemy, Magic, Hermeticism, Witchcraft, Sufism, Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry.
