Customer Reviews
Reprint of "Ancient Mystic Rites".
Explores the ancient Egyptian influence upon modern Freemasony. Discusses the history of the A.A.S.R. and it's predecessor, the Rite of Perfection. There is also much information about the history of Co-Masonry, although, the wonderful pictures of Annie Beasant et al are not in this edition.
Freemasonry and Its Ancient Mystic Rites
Within the confines of the explained secrecy of the Mystic rites of Freemasonry, Leadbeater, shares many insights although this book was written in 1925, when much less of the mysteries were being revealed. He goes into explanation of various rites in some detail with beautiful visual descriptions including color and imagry. He covers masonic groups from various countries and explains their connections. Taking us as far back as the connection to the mystic rites of the pyramids of Egypt and beyond. This book left me with a new understanding of the purpose of the masons as people pledged to bring light into the world.
Illustrations
This is a reprint of a previous book. While the text is fairly good, it makes references to many illustrations which are not in the reprinted edition. Therefore, I would not recommend it!
