5.0 out of 5 stars
Insightful and thought provoking,
By Joshua S Heller (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Freemasonry and the Ancient Gods (Paperback)
This book demonstrates Bro. Ward's belief that the roots of Freemasonry are thousands of years old. In this book (which he never intended to be released to non-masons) he shows that many signs, symbols and rituals are similar through non-connected cultures around the globe over the ages. This is a book that all Freemasons should read and evaluate in their hearts and minds. There is much work to be done.

Unique and Informative,
This review is from: Freemasonry and the Ancient Gods (Paperback)
This book traces the ancient roots of Freemasonry through the ages. It is awesome in it's depth. A truly fascinating history of Freemasonry from a very different perspective.
