4.0 out of 5 stars
A must read!, January 14, 2006
This review is from: Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy (Paperback)
Robert Hewitt Brown's book Stellar Theology and Mansonic Astronomy is certainly an important work for understanding archaeoastronomy in Masonry and religion.
Although the author intentionally avoids direct association to Christianity, the suggestion is certainly shown. This book is an excellent resource for anyone studying the ancient mysteries-and for scholars too.
This Book Tree edition is the better edition and the one you'll want to buy, as this publisher has reformated the entire book to make it much nicer. Some of the other publications are just bad photocopies in a binder.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Orion of Freemasonic Books, February 4, 2006
This review is from: Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy (Paperback)
One of the most concise and on point books about astrology, numerology, esoteric sciences and the like. Profusely illustrated so much so the illiterate and semi literate can still benefit from it's lights and rights.The Freemasonic purist would benefit the most from this glorious work, but a total novice would also become more enlightened. Brother Brown's teachings on the number 7 and it's mystical astrological meanings are a must read. My edition of the book is quite a bit earlier, this book has been atop the Masonic book lists for awhile now. I would highly recommend this book to all those looking for Lux along with "The Huevolution of Sacred Muur Science Past and Present" by Noble Timothy Myers-EL and "African Origins of Freemasonry" by Zachary Gremillion

2.0 out of 5 stars
why the IMPORTANT OMISSIONS?, January 10, 2010
This review is from: Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy (Paperback)
Sadly many of the chapters are a direct RIP-OFF, direct plagiarism of the much better book called 'The Royal Secret' written by I. Edward Clark.
WHAT MUST BE NOTED is that ROBERT HEWITT BROWN fails to offer any SWASTIKA INSIGHTS at all in his Freemason tell all.
NONE...he does not even mention it.
HOWEVER the 1924 publication called the 'The Royal Secret', written by a Freemason too, does mention it.
As does the Freemason Albert Churchward in his publications.
The book by the Freemason I.E. Clark devotes an entire chapter to the SWASTIKA and its many, many, many, profound associations and charms.
WHY????
Why does this modern Freemason 'rewrite' of 'The Royal Secret' (which is out of print, but can be ordered) totally eliminate the SWASTIKA from the Freemason narrative?
Is it because the swastika is an ancient solution for pi, that ante-dates Freemasonry?
Is it because it is a solution for the Pythagorean theorem?
Is it because it represents both the Sun and the Moon?
Is it because both opposite rotating swastikas, one rotating CW and the other CCW are in fact chiral asymmetrical mirror images of each other?
Thus the inward/outward helical rotations of the two intertwined swastikas resembles chiral asymmetrical DNA?
YES YES YES YES YES...Among other profound associations to do with Precession of the Equinoxes too.
And the list of swastika associations in both religion and science is quite extensive.
In my estimation the book misses the mark totally, as many books on the Freemasons and Knights Templar do.
Thus the omission of the chiral asymmetrical swastika from this book, resulted in the low rating.
How can you TRUST other information in this publication IF the swastika was omitted?
Maybe this book only deserves one* star?
This version of the 'TRUTH' left out the most important association to the mystic cross, the esoteric Hidden Cross of Christ, known as the Swastika.
Still revered by the Jain Buddhists of southern India.
The Swastika was an ancient mark of god that existed at least 5000 years before Christ manifest and walked across the water into the hearts of the west.
