CONTENTS: The following is a note by ROB MORRIS from his earlier book titled THE LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF FREEMASONRY (much of which was incorporated into this later book along with material from the revered American Masonic author ALBERT G. MACKEY, best know for his incredibly comprehensive ENCYCLOPOEDIA OF FREEMASONRY): “To the Masonic Reader. “This attempt, the first one ever made upon and extended scale, to illustrate the principles, by exhibiting the effects of Freemasonry, is respectfully offered to the Craft, wheresoever dispersed. “In it I have endeavored to avoid romantic incidents. I have not introduced unnatural or improbable embellishments. But, from a large collection of facts, gathered in my travels through almost every section of the United States, I have prepared, in a plain style, the following sketches. “In the preparation of these sketches, I have had three principal ideas in view: First. To introduce nothing of an important nature, but what is literally true. Second. To introduce incidents enough to bear either directly or indirectly upon every section of Masonic obligation and privilege. Third. To introduce the technical language of Masonry, so far as good authority is afforded me, by standard works.” [keywords ceremonial magic magick occult occultism esoterica esoteric enochian john dee cornelius agrippa o.t.o. golden dawn crowley mathers waite renaissance philosophy spiritualism alchemy hermeticism alchemical grimoire sacred geometry myth mythology legend metaphysics metaphysical new age religion mysticism ancient rosy rose cross rosicrucian occult occultism esoteric hidden knowledge esoterica divination scrying metaphysics metaphysical spiritualism spiritism wicca wiccan magic magick rose cross ancient mysteries mystery religions mediaeval medieval renaissance alchemy hermeticism freemasonry masonic secret societies conspiracy egypt egyptian greece greek rome roman paganism pagan druidism feminism theology thealogy paganism neo-paganism neopaganism polytheism angelology archetypal symbolism jungian psychology] A VERY RARE 19TH CENTURY CLOTH VOLUME IN VERY SOLID & STILL ATTRACTIVE VINTAGE CONDITION.
