London/ Henley, Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1977, 1st ed., X,343 pag., hardcover with dustjacket. = Benjamin Walker's Encyclopedia of Esoteric Man (first published 1977) is a compact, encyclopedia-style compendium exploring the symbolic, mystical, and occult meanings attributed to the human body, mind, and life experiences across a wide range of cultures and traditions. Rather than being a scientific anatomy book, it collects folklore, mythic symbolism, and esoteric interpretations of human physiology, psychology, sexuality, and spiritual dimensions, drawing on diverse historical and occult sources to reveal "the hidden side of the human entity." It serves as a reference and curiosity-laden handbook for anyone interested in comparative spiritual symbolism and the esoteric dimensions of what it means to be human. Dustjacket with tears and pric-clipped.
