The Symbolism of Freemasonry: Illustrating and Explaining Its Science and Philosophy, its Legends, Myths and Symbols Paperback – September 15, 2015

Great information for someone who wants more than surface level information.

Great book if you are traveling.

The Symbolism of Freemasonry is a collection of essays by Mackey where he gives his view of many things Masonic. It's tough to read because of the 1800s writing style and archaic language. I am a senior English teacher, and I had difficulty getting through the book. I am usually a fan of Mackey, but this read more like Pike wrote it.

Bought as a Father's Day present for my dad who has been a Mason for 50+ years - Can't wait for him to open.

Mackey’s writings are always good reading!

While the book describes the symbolism of Freemasonry, there is not a single photo or illustration. I bought this book, as I am conducting symbolism tours at my local cemetery, and frankly, it is completely unhelpful. The info itself is good, however. So, I compromised with a 3-star review.

This book is an excellent early Masonic text written by one of Masonry's early Masonic pioneers and scholars. Many Masonic authors have borrowed from it's pages through the years while compiling information on Masonic Symbolism for their own books. Buy it today and become enlightened!!! I give it my highest recommendation.

A great book to add to the collection.
