“The best book about the secret tradition I’ve read for many
years. Tim Wallace-Murphy writes with style, passion and truth. A
magnificent achievement.” —Graham Hancock, New York
Times–bestselling author of Fingerprints of the Gods From Egyptian
mythology to Jewish mysticism, Rome and Greece to the druids and the
gnostics, Tim Wallace-Murphy exposes a fascinating lineage of hidden
mysteries and secret societies, continuing through the Templars,
Rosicrucians, and Freemasons to our modern visionaries. This hidden
stream of spirituality and that of sacred knowledge are inseparably
entwined to form the single most important continuous strand in the
entire Western esoteric tradition. This tradition exerted a seminal
influence on the thinking of the builders of the great cathedrals/
leading teachers in ecclesiastical schools/ philosophers/ playwrights/
poets such as Shakespeare, Goethe, Blake, and W. B. Yeats/ and on
artists and Renaissance giants such as Leonardo da Vinci and
Michelangelo. It is also the root from which sprang alchemy and modern
science. Now, as more people are looking to find information on the
alternatives to dominant religions and dogmas that have told us what
to think and how to behave, as faith has been questioned by religious
scandals, economic meltdowns, and an increasingly sick planet Earth,
Wallace-Murphy reveals the secrets of the masters, including
invaluable spiritual insights into everyday life that have been hidden
throughout the ages. He shows us who kept this spiritual tradition
alive despite appalling persecution, so that we in the twenty-first
century might benefit from its accumulated fruits and ennoble our
lives. Hidden Wisdom will be of immense interest to readers of the
number-one bestseller The Lost Symbol as it explains much of Dan
Brown’s focus on the ancient mysteries.
