Product Description

The Freemasons is one of the world's oldest secular fraternal societies. Its membership is made up of a society of men who declare their concern with moral and spiritual values. The origins of the society are uncertain, but it is thought that the organization evolved hundreds of years ago from travelling stone masons who made the medieval cathedrals and castles. As well as exploring the history and legends of the Freemasons, this book also delves into the analysis and illustration of the signs and symbols of the Freemasons. Symbols such as the all-seeing eye, the five-pointed star, the sun and the moon, the mason's square. Beautifully illustrated with over 300 fine art images, this book will appeal to anyone interested in finding out the meaning of the symbolism of the past.

A basic Reference book4
An excellent book for both the mason & non-mason. Full of great insights and an overview of the craft

Can nobody help the widows son?3
A good read but I wanted a little more text. Great promise and good factual information as I bought the book as a reference tool for my new novel, THE SUN WILL STILL SHINE TOMORROW. No sooner had I got 'into' the book than it was finished. Never mind it served the purpose. I hope the novel doen't upset too many of the brothers. I dont want to end up like Samon Rushdie.Do The Birds Still Sing In Hell? A Million Would be Nice Jack of Hearts Race Against Me: My Story
