The Rulership Book: A Directory of Astrological Correspondences

Rex E. Bills

Macoy Pub. & Masonic Supply Co, 1971

A great way to learn astrology
I have been a consulting astrologer for over 25 years and The Rulership Book was one of the first books on the subject I acquired. I have used it again and again over the years and it has proved to be an invaluable resource. The book begins with a list of words for which planetary rulerships are ascribed. The list is quite comprehensive. Then, Bills gives us rulerships by planets and houses, ...

Zanoni: A Rosicrucian Tale

6 reviews

Cornerstone Book Publishers, 2007

A "new age" book without the new age drivel
I have read few books that can artistically work with esoteric content without getting trite, awkward or moralistic. In my opinion, "The Celestine Prophecy" is a figment that should have been left sealed in the author's imagination. "Zanoni" on the other hand is a tale with an intriguing plot that all the while leads the reader into unexpected and profound esoteric content. This is a book I ...

Steven C. Bullock

The University of North Carolina Press, 1996

An essential volume to understand early America.
As the first third party in an American presidential election (1832) the Anti-Masonic Party has usually appeared suddenly in the story of the Jacksonian Era with little explanation except that the Masons were suspected in the murder of one William Morgan, who threatened to reveal their innermost rituals and secrets. The prosecution of the case was hampered by the fact that Masons dominated local ...

Texe's powerful book awakens us to the fact that we are immortal Spiritual Beings temporarily entrapped in the realm of Illusion ... these symbols are indicators that we are in the "prison" planet of the "counterfeit god", the god of this world, who uses every means of deception to keep us prisoners in his domain of matter.

Joseph Fort Newton

Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company,, 1995

A thoughtful reflection on the World's best known Fraternity
Take your time in reading this author's words - they are written with great care and from a very wise man of the mid 20th century. Having laid down his working tools on 01/25/1950, Brother Newton writes, "Man was not meant to be a cringing being, eaten up by anxiety, shut up a prisoner in silent loneliness, living in blind cruelty. He was meant for great adventures, if he has the insight to see ...

When I was made a Master Mason on march 22, 1999, I was presented with this edition of the Heirloom Bible.

The book consists of easily read short Masonic essays by past authors who were recognized experts at the time of their ...

Cornerstone Book Publishers, 2007

What its all about
Being a Mason for years, and having read many books on the subject in search of what Freemasonry was really all about, I could not help feeling, when I had finished this book, that this was it. Yes, This is Freemasonry from a Theosophical perspective. I Think it is the true perspective.

The Lost Key: An Explanation and Application of the Masonic Symbols

2 reviews
Prentiss Tucker

Book Tree, 1999

A revival of Masonry
This book is an excellent guide for the newly-made Master Mason and the Mason who's sat on the sidelines for years watching raising after raising. It explains the symbols of the Craft and gives the meanings behind them in a clear manner. It gives plenty of food for thought, and should be read by all Master Masons that our Craft may be re-invigorated. Priced far below its worth, it is ...

Kessinger Publishing, 1997

Masterful and Magnanimous Achievement!
All these different Masonic schools under one book cover? Amazing! I found this a great help in understanding the common links and the differences between all these groups and now I have a much better feeling for how they fall into occult science. Excellent overview!

William D. Moore

Univ Tennessee Press, 2006

revealing analysis of architecture and interiors of Masonic temples
Masonic temples with external and internal features to evoke King Solomon's temple in ancient Jerusalem built throughout New York state from 1870 to 1930 were intended to "anchor [Freemasons] within a cognitive framework as they faced the existential crisis of being American men" in this period of profound, challenging, and often perplexing cultural change. New York state serves as an instructive ...

2 reviews
Jacques Chailley

Inner Traditions, 1992

A classic study
Prof. Chailley's examination of one of Mozart's masterpieces is scarcely recent news: the book has been around for decades. It is none the less a seminal work for all of its longevity. Particularly as an "outsider"--Chailley was not a Freemason--the author writes with clarity, insight, and years of familiarity with his musical subject, and clear understanding of his fraternal one. The ...

Albert Gallatin Mackey

Excellent reference for those interested in Freemasonry
This encyclopedia covers in depth the wide range of lore, terminology, and history of the Craft. I would recommend it as an excellent gift for that newly made, or veteran Master Mason.

Arturo de Hoyos, S. Brent Morris

A. Lewis (London), 2007

The History and Rituals of a Secret Masonic Rite
Between 1826 and 1884, Dr. Robert. B. Folger, a physician and Masonic historian, wrote at least three manuscript ritual books, two of which were in an obscure and virtually impenetrable cipher. Folger, who had a penchant for controversy, was concealing the fact that he was trying to import the "Rectified Scottish Rite" (also called the R.E.R. or C.B.C.S.) into the United States. The R.E.R. was ...

Detroit's Masonic Temple (MI) (Images of America)

Alex Lundberg, Greg Kowalski

Arcadia Publishing, 2006

A glorious past, a troubled future
Eighty years ago, the Freemasons of Detroit had a vision. They dreamed big and they built bigger, erecting the largest Masonic building in the world. Today, the Masons of Detroit seem to have lost their vision, or at least their ability to afford it. The Shriners and the Scottish Rite have both fled to the suburbs, and this magnificent building is in serious danger. A few individual lodges ...

Tim Bryce

Cornerstone Book Publishers, 2007

Brilliant collection of thoughts and ruminations
Tim Bryce captures and presents poignant and thought-provoking essays and observations in this great book. It is not a large book, nor is it difficult reading or increadibly heady material. In signature Bryce fashion, he cuts to the chase and presents his material in a simple, digestible, but keenly observant manner. He cites his own experience as a Past Master, and things he's learned ...
