The first chapter of this essay provides a soundly skeptical, mythicist take on Christian origins, while simultaneously asserting Lemurian and Atlantean sources for esoteric traditions. The next three chapters are organized according to the book's pattern: brain/spirit, heart/emotions, and generative organs/physical sensation. In the chapter on "The Spinal Column" corresponding to the heart, there is also a discussion of clairvoyance and mediumship, and in the chapter on "The Infernal Worlds" Hall additionally provides an exposition of color symbolism. The final chapter of Occult Anatomy is on "embryology," which offers readings of religious texts as perinatal allegories. It then continues with a thumbnail description of the seven-year cyclical climacteric pattern of individual human development.

Very succinct. Chock-a-block full of esoteric symbolism all relating to the body. Fascinating in the combination of wide variety of spiritual sources. A classic but still inspirational to the independent spiritual researcher. Don't be put off (or become excited?) by the term masonic used throughout: it has little bearing on the occult orders we know today and refers to a more subtle alchemical hermetic study. It remains interesting to discover for yourself if Hall is maybe not esoteric enough, revealing thereby the trap of interpreting everything by a human scale - hence more prone to intellectual corruption.
