Synopsis
Throughout history there have been societies of closed membership and covert purpose. In this comprehensive work, David Barrett explores these movements from their roots in the carliest civilizations to the present day. Marked by carefully graded and progressive teachings leading to hidden and unique truths, access only for selected individuals, and the practice of rituals of which nonmembers are not privy, these societies--from the Knights Templar and the Gnostics to the Cathars, Rosicrucians, and Freemasons--promise the initiated a realm of personal benefits beyond their reach, and even their comprehension. Barrett unlocks the ancient widsom of the Mediterranean civilizations, which formed the basis of many groups and whose tenets, principles, and esoteric religious beliefs surfaced in medieval times, and describes in detail how they survive in secret societies today., Throughout history there have been societies of closed membership and covert purpose. From the Knights Templars to the freemasons, an intimate look at the inner workings of secret societies.

- e***a (272)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseOrdered from USA and arrived to me in UK about 10 days later. Book appropriately packaged and mostly as described. Was missing the cd as listed but communication with the seller was friendly and polite if not a little confusing - partial refunds are only offered after you start the formal eBay return request process, they aren't capable of giving refunds after simple messaging to customer service. All in all though, great value and a positive transaction. Would interact again 👍
- e***- (123)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseUnfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.
- h***r (190)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseHave ordered books a number of times from ThriftBooks, via eBay, over the years, and the transactions have always been super-smooth. It was the same way this time. Sturdy packaging for the shipments. Condition / appearance of books was even better than described. As always, an excellent value, particularly with the free shipping as well as the promotional discount for ordering three or more books at a time. Love it!
