Ancient Mysteries And Modern Masonry – Charles H. Vail

The purpose of these lectures is to consider the origin and nature of the Ancient Mysteries and Modern Masonry and to show the relation which they bear one to the other. Freemasonry deals largely with the morals and symbols of the Mysteries of Antiquity, and originally was one of the channels of Ancient Wisdom.

All agree that the Masonic symbols and traditions are … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Hidden Life in Freemasonry – C. W. Leadbeater

In this book it is the object, while preserving due secrecy upon those matters which must be kept secret, to explain something of the deeper meaning and purpose of Freemasonry, in the hope of arousing among the Brn. a more profound reverence for that of which they are … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
