Out of all the societies that exist in the world, there is perhaps no other considered to be as mysterious as the Freemasons. Ostensibly a group founded to regulate the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients, the society is shrouded in claims of conspiracy and the occult due to its hermetic nature and religious aspects. This vintage book looks at the symbolism of Freemasonry, as well as some of the general principles, order and hierarchy, and more. Contents include: "Principles of Education and Ethics", "The Genius of Freemasonry", "The Secret Doctrine", "The Secret Doctrine (continued) - Science and Religion", "The Secret Doctrine (continued) - The Sign of the Master", "The Great Lodge", "An Outline of Symbolism", and "Conclusion". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
