Mystic Masonry or the Symbols of Freemasonry and the Greater Mysteries of Antiquity is a book written by J.D. Buck that explores the symbols and teachings of Freemasonry and their connections to ancient mystery traditions. The author delves into the esoteric meanings behind the symbols and rituals of Freemasonry, revealing their deeper spiritual significance. He also examines the similarities between Freemasonry and other ancient mystery traditions, such as the Egyptian and Greek mysteries, as well as the teachings of the Rosicrucians and the Kabbalists. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history and philosophy of Freemasonry, and offers insights into its role in shaping the spiritual and cultural landscape of the Western world. Overall, Mystic Masonry is a fascinating exploration of the hidden wisdom and spiritual truths that lie at the heart of Freemasonry and the greater mysteries of antiquity.This Great Secret, this Master's Word, was know to and preserved in the Mysteries of Antiquity, and is embodied and preserved in the traditions and symbols of Masonry today. This fact has been stated repeatedly in the body of this little book, the real purpose of which was to set students, and particularly masonic students, to searching for the real secret. It is the reward of study and devotion, and has never been obtained on any other terms. It has never been conferred in the ritualistic degrees of the lodge, and never will or can be. It is the establishment of understanding in the soul of man between that higher self in him, and the More, and the Beyond self from which he draws his life, and from which his intuitions spring. This is real Initiation: Becoming: At-one-ment.������� �������There are thousands of Masons, who realize that Masonry contains and implies far more than appears in the ritual and ceremonies of the Lodge. There is a very widespread and growing interest in this direction, and it is this that Mystic Masonry, above all else, is designed to foster, encourage, and help.������� Contents: Principles of Education and Ethics; Genius of Freemasonry; The Secret Doctrine, Science and Religion, The Septenary Nature of Man, The Sign of the Master; The Great Lodge, An Outline of Symbolism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
