This book is a Must read if you are interested in the Rosicrucians, Alchemy, and related esoteric subjects. JENNINGS puts together a lot of ancient wisdom and pantheon, to describe the alchemical nature of the bible, Gnostics, Templars, Cabalists, to put it all together in the history of the Rosicrucians is fascinating.

I found the part relating to king Arthur, the holy grail, and blood royal interesting, and deserving of more research. I have read Laurence Gardner's work on this, and this book touches on this subject.

We get it, tall buildings are giant phalluses. Anyway, some really interesting concepts were brought up by the author at times, but as a whole it could have been presented better.

I only read about half of this one as it wasn't as interesting as other Rosicrucian writings I have read.

Now I can see where Blavatsky's hermeneutic comes from.
