A Monument of Esoterica, June 14, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Liturgies of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (Pt. 2-4) (Paperback)
Pike's works in general have fallen on bad times: even many Masons today are not intellectually prepared to read and understand Pike's works, whether Morals & Dogma or this fundamental one of the Liturgies of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. Masons who do not know their own craft are not able to defend it properly. As a scholar on Esoterica, having published on classical literature and Christian mysticism, and more importantly, as a 32º Scottish Rite Mason, I appreciate and value this work above most all other Masonic writings. It is essential reading for any Mason of the Higher Degrees who presumes to understand the meaning of the rituals he may only see once a year, and then, unfortunately, in abbreviated form.
