Meditations on Masonic Symbolism [Paperback]

John R. Heisner (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 17, 2006

Freemasonry has often been described as a secret society, owing to the fact that it uses certain symbols to instruct upon a deeper knowledge about mankind's relationship with God. The variety of charities supported by this ancient fraternity comprised of millions of men and women are well known and easily recognizable. Children's hospitals are operated by Shriners throughout the world. Speech therapy centers, educational grants, eye care foundations and homes for the aged are funded and operated by Scottish Rite Masons, Knights Templar and Grand Lodges everywhere they are situated. There is nothing secret about Freemasonry's love for humanity. Among the very few secrets it does maintain-the ancient knowledge about mankind's relationship to God, concealed with such recognizable Masonic symbols as the Square and Compass-is fully explained in Meditations on Masonic Symbolism.

I own a good number of books on Masonry and I still found this one to be filled with valuable information. If you're a Freemason, thinking about becoming one or just interested in the fraternity, this is the book for you.

The explanations and interpretations of the symbols, allegories and procedures of Freemasonry is not only a sound basis for non-Masons, newly-made Masons or long-time Masons, but provides many thoughts to engender continued exploration.
