"Although complete in itself, this book is primarily designed to complement and amplify the larger volume on SYMBOLICAL PHILOSOPHY, published last year [1928]. During the spring and fall of 1928, I delivered two series of lectures on Symbolism and the Ancient Mysteries -- one in San Francisco and the other in Los Angeles -- to groups largely composed of subscribers to AN ENCYCLOPEDIC OUTLINE OF MASONIC, HERMETIC, QUABBALISTIC AND ROSICRUCIAN SYMBOLICAL PHILOSOPHY. The notes of these lectures were carefully taken in shorthand and form the basis of the present work. A considerable portion of my larger book is devoted to the rituals and figures of the Greek Mysteries, and this treatise is an effort to clarify the subject of classical pagan metaphysics. "Our civilization has not yet learned to value appreciation for the beautiful as the very foundation of an enduring culture. Unless we respond to the harmonious, the elegant, the symmetrical, and the rhythmic, we are recreant to past good, a menace to present integrity, and an obstacle to future effort. This truth is well made in the MERCHANT OF VENICE: "The man that hath no music in himself Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils." It is not enough that our codes be true; they must also be beautiful. If learning does not teach us to love, we learn without understanding." (Author's Preface).
