Secrets and Practices of the Freemasons: Sacred Mysteries, Rituals and Symbols Revealed

I love this book I learned a lot from it and makes me more smarter m inspire to keep elevating my degree in Freemason I am looking forward to read more books from this author Jean Louis de biasi

The premise of this book is to explain Freemasonry in light of Dan Brown's 'The Lost Symbol'. It does so well but it also veers into a strange place with offered rituals that anyone - Mason or not - can ostensibly use to enrich their life using the Scottish Rite Degrees of Pike as their basis. This is, in my opinion, a step too far. There is an introduction by a Past Grand Master who briefly mentions meeting the author but spends three pages describing the pin he had designed for his term as Grand Master and nothing about the book's contents. The author is proud to note his credentials as a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite member but this proves nothing except that he watched a half-dozen stage performances. There are far better works from which to understand Freemasonry - and none of the guru-proclaimed self-initiations. Not recommended.

I have found the book very interesting, informative, and outstanding. The main reason I'm satisfied is because I delved into the Masonic thinking and found a more clever way to master in rituals.

Good book

FAST SHIPPINGGOOD FOR COLLECTION.

It's an interesting book, but there are no citations. The author could have just as easily made up everything historical in this book. It's hard to take his theories of Freemasonry, and the western mystery tradition overall, very seriously considering his lack of basic academic skills. I'm surprised a publisher allowed this to be published without adequate citations and a full bibliography.

Very enlightening information and an excellent read. For those interested in the intricacies of the Freemason organization, this book is a very good introduction.
