As stated in the title, the outside hard cover is nice but.... the contents are a photocopy of the original which then they put into this binding. Briefly flipping through the book the text is thick and blurred on some pages and extremely light and faded on others. A 1979 ditto machine could do better!
Either send me the real book or refund my money.

This work is an excellent revelation of the origins of our Craft ritual and symbology. It is presented in understandable (for me) dialogue. It presents an elementary explanation of zodiacal astronomy, and relates it to many of the procedures and phrases used in today's Masonic Temple, even though written 136 years ago. Really an amazing book for those interested in Masonic Enlightenment.

Just received this & have only flipped through it. I can, however, already see how well it dovetails with other references to form a more complete picture of certain thought patterns utilized by various segments of society

A short and simple explanation for the allegories of Freemasonry. It describes how the allegories of Freemasonry are basically a historical inference about ancient astrolatry. Very interesting read. Every Freemason should feel obligated to read this as it ranks up there with books like A Bridge of Light.

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

"Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy" by Robert Hewitt Brown is a classic; which, explains why a book first published in 1882 is still available today. This book is for anyone interested in the origins of religion and the mysteries schools. The portion of the title "Stellar Theology" perfectly describes what Brown addresses in part of the book. This section deals with the "Great Year", the 25,900 years precession of the zodiac cycle, and discusses the ages which corresponds to the each house of the zodiac.
For example, Brown discusses the ancient worship of the Bull 6000 to 4000 years ago during the age of Taurus, the Dagon during the age of Pisces, Heracles the lion slayer in the age of Leo, etc. Brown provides many other examples. The thesis being that religion stems from the worship of the stars. Astro-theology is another term for this.
After reading the book you will see symbols though new eyes; for example, the teramorphs, although not called this by Brown, is example of stellar symbolism hidden in plain sight of anyone who visits a gothic cathedral , but you will be able to decode the meaning of these symbols where the uninitiated seeing them won't comprehend the meaning.
The allegory of the birth and death of the sun, Jacob's Ladder, Joachim and Boaz, the Temple of Solomon, and the orientation of temples are explained.
This book is for anyone interested in myths, astro-theology, and masonic symbolism. I highly recommend this book and at only a little over 100 pages it is an easy read.

Stellar Theology and Masonic Astrology is a wonderful work. It explains that there is much more to the masonic ritual than the average candidate realizes. It shows the astrological/astronomical meaning of the allegory of Hiram Abiff. It explains that the movements in the ritual really imitate the cycle of life. It explains the meaning of the zodiacal arch and the death and resurrection of the sun. It also breaks down many other symbols that are often hidden in plain sight. I recommend this book for those inside and outside the door of the masonic lodge.

A short but profound work
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2013Verified Purchase
This is a relatively short book but one that I thoroughly enjoyed. In contrast to my approach to reading novels I savoured this book and took my time at it and I found this was a useful method. I also know that it is one of those books I will come back to again and again in the future. This book may be small but it is no lightweight. Many books of the present that attempt to deal with similar themes do little more than touch the surface - this one however is serious and rewards careful reading and meditation.
