What is Sõd? The Hebrew word Sõd (סוד) can be interpreted in at least two ways: as a secret or mystery, or as a congregation of people taking part in a secret or mystery in a formal manner.

Did Jesus belong to the sect of the Nazarenes or did he simply come from Nazareth? Is there any esoteric relationship between the sacrifice of Jesus and the death of the mythological Adonis? Is the similarity between the terms Adonis and Adonai arbitrary, or just one of the many pieces of evidence hinting at the commonalities that the Greek and Hebrew mystery traditions shared?

Penetrate—if you dare—into this highly veiled and hermetic study of the Mysteries of Adoni and the figure of Jesus of Nazareth that Samuel Fales Dunlap bestowed upon the world in 1861. Now and for the first time this book has been rendered almost accessible to the profane by the copious annotations that Sonchis Triacorda has delivered for this brand new and greatly embellished edition.

E.GIBIL is now pleased to present a thoroughly revamped edition of the two instalments of these all-time classics of the comparative study of religions: “Sõd, The Mysteries of Adoni” and “Sõd, The Son of Man,” now including many new illustrations and annotations that, we are sure, will appeal greatly to all true adepts of the esoteric learning.
