Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

The author here tackles the big unanswered questions about the Brotherhood including: what is the purpose of freemasonry? What do Masons gain from working its Rituals? Can anybody benefit from the Spiritual Teachings of 'The Craft'? Are Masonic rituals simple moral plays designed to encourage people to behave well? Are they a secret tradition preserved from a long lost civilisation? Are they meaningless formalities, or do they serve some deeper purpose? In this ground-breaking book, the author describes his personal journey through the mystical rituals of Freemasonry and reveals why people join Freemasonry, what they expect to find and how they benefit.
