Book Synopsis The Grand Lodge of England & Colonial America by : Ric Berman
Download or read book The Grand Lodge of England & Colonial America written by Ric Berman and published by Old Stables Press. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ric Berman examines for the first time the men appointed by the Grand Lodge of England to act as Provincial Grand Masters in Britain's American colonies. The author uses primary source material to draw pen portraits of the men chosen to lead eighteenth-century American Freemasonry and the society in which they lived. Dr Berman has written a number of books on the history and development of Freemasonry in Great Britain, as well as the early years in North and South Carolina and Georgia. All are informative and enlightening, and the reader gains more knowledge after finishing his works. His latest work, "The Grand Lodge of England & Colonial America: America's Grand Masters" focuses on the early Provincial Grand Masters appointed by the Grand Lodge of England to the American colonies from the 1730s to 1780s. This book was written during the 2020 lockdown and was time well spent, as Brother Berman delves into the lives and circumstances of these men's appointments or elections, as well as background information on 18th century society. Brother Berman is adept at bringing together the many strings of these men's lives to give a fuller picture of who they were, their foibles and strengths. He does not ignore the role of slave ownership of most of the Past Grand Masters, whether they were Southern or Northern. Prince Hall and African Lodge also receive their proper due.

Book Synopsis Masonic Temples by : William D. Moore
Download or read book Masonic Temples written by William D. Moore and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Masonic Temples, William D. Moore introduces readers to the structures American Freemasons erected over the sixty-year period from 1870 to 1930, when these temples became a ubiquitous feature of the American landscape. As representations of King Solomon’s temple in ancient Jerusalem erected in almost every American town and city, Masonic temples provided specially designed spaces for the enactment of this influential fraternity’s secret rituals. Using New York State as a case study, Moore not only analyzes the design and construction of Masonic structures and provides their historical context, but he also links the temples to American concepts of masculinity during this period of profound economic and social transformation. By examining edifices previously overlooked by architectural and social historians, Moore decodes the design and social function of Masonic architecture and offers compelling new insights into the construction of American masculinity. Four distinct sets of Masonic ritual spaces—the Masonic lodge room, the armory and drill room of the Knights Templar, the Scottish Rite Cathedral, and the Shriners’ mosque – form the central focus of this volume. Moore argues that these spaces and their accompanying ceremonies communicated four alternative masculine archetypes to American Freemasons—the heroic artisan, the holy warrior, the adept or wise man, and the frivolous jester or fool. Although not a Freemason, Moore draws from his experience as director of the Chancellor Robert R Livingston Masonic Library in New York City, where heutilized sources previously inaccessible to scholars. His work should prove valuable to readers with interests in vernacular architecture, material culture, American studies, architectural and social history, Freemasonry, and voluntary associations.

Who were the Gormogons; how did they get started; what happened to them?

Book Synopsis The Royal Masonic Cyclopaedia of History, Rites, Symbolism, and Biography by : Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie
Download or read book The Royal Masonic Cyclopaedia of History, Rites, Symbolism, and Biography written by Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth-century writer and Masonic scholar Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie (1833-86) studied occultism with Frederick Hockley, and met the famous French occultist Éliphas Lévi in 1861. He was also involved in the foundation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This extensive encyclopaedia, first published in 1877, is considered to be a classic Masonic reference work. It includes detailed information on the symbols, rites, legends, terms, people and places associated with Freemasonry. Some of the symbols are illustrated and lists of rankings are given, including a 'traditional' list of Grand Masters of England that includes Sts Swithin and Dunstan, Alfred the Great, Sir Christopher Wren (twice) and Charles II. Mackenzie aims in his entries to be critical when relevant: as he says in the Preface, freemasonry has 'received a willing tribute' in his book, but he hints at difficulties encountered in publishing material about a famously secretive society.

Book Synopsis Solomon's Memory Palace by : Bob W Lingerfelt
Download or read book Solomon's Memory Palace written by Bob W Lingerfelt and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note: This is the Large Print Edition of Solomon's Memory Palace. "Test every fellow of the craft and every apprentice on the art of memory and science thereof." The Second William Schaw Statutes (1599) Freemasons have unique memorization needs. Long passages must be remembered verbatim, yet there are strict restrictions on writing, recording, or even speaking certain esoteric portions outside of the lodge, making unsuitable many of the memorization techniques used by the general public. Fortunately, the craft is not without its working tools. Solomon's Memory Palace provides step-by-step instructions on how to construct the rare memoria verborum memory palace and discusses the curious ties between the art of memory and Speculative Freemasonry.
Book Synopsis Freemasonry: Quest for Immortality by : Christopher Earnshaw
Download or read book Freemasonry: Quest for Immortality written by Christopher Earnshaw and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Premier Grand Lodge was established in 1717, which later became the Grand Lodge of England, the first three Grand Masters were urged on by a moral imperative to rewrite and expand the existing two degrees of Operative Masons, and then add another, the Third Degree. However, their reasons have, until now, remained obscure, for example: *How does the Hiramic Tragedy relate to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and why? *What important aspects suggest that Sir Francis Bacon's New Atlantis might have been a template for Freemasonry? *Were medieval mystery plays, that had been performed by guilds, the origin of Freemasonry's Third Degree? *Why did George Washington's apron have a skull and crossed-bones depicted inside the Square and Compasses? *What does the Scarlet Pimpernel have to do with the Masonic emblem of the forget-me-not? *What perfidy were Freemasons addressing, when they rewrote the degrees of Operative Masons to add a Third Degree, that was a cause célèbre at the time and even debated in Parliament? *Why did Masons despise atheists, though Catholics were welcome in Lodge, whereas in England generally at the time it was the Catholics that were reviled, not atheists. This book answers these questions and more!
