Customer Reviews

The deeper meanings explained.
An excellent book for members of the Craft who seek the answers to much of what we miss in our basic instruction. Gives an outstanding account of how we should view the deeper meanings of the Craft. Of little value to non-Masons

superb book on the deeper meanings of the Lodge
This book delves into the real meaning of the symbols and rituals of the lodge. It is not for the simply cusious. However, if you are not a member of the craft and this book interests you, then find a Mason and find out more.

Good book, not for the faint hearted.
This book looking into the deeper meanings of freemasonry was, to say the least, a little hard going. Saying that though once you got your head around the old english, and long words it did hold some little gems of knowledge and some good ideas.

I would recommend this book for reading, but only so long as you enjoy reading and are willing to work at it. I would say borrow this book first and then buy it if you like it...

In my opinion there are newer books on the market that hold the same if not more information, that are easier to read and understand.
