The Travels of Gaius: A Masonic Tale of Allusions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798800230628)

The Travels of Gaius is an entertaining but instructional tale intended to familiarize new Freemasons with fundamental Masonic concepts. It is the story of an adventurous young man named Gaius who travels to a strange, unknown land in his search for a thing of great value that was lost long ago. Aided by Dux, an enigmatic guide from a mysterious Order, our hero finds himself tested by the powerful Wardens of the Gates and the ingeniously wicked creatures that lurk in the realms of Beauty, Strength, Wisdom, and Ignorance.

The story's scenes and characters are designed to give a new initiate a basic but holistic comprehension of certain elementary Masonic subjects. These include, among other things, the nature of the three pillars; the cardinal points of the lodge; the roles, locations, and jewels of the lodge officers; the lesser and greater lights; the four cardinal virtues; circumambulation; the movement of the sun; the Mosaic pavement; and the importance of Deity.

These diverse topics have been woven together in such a way that they can be easily understood and associated with little or no conscious effort on the part of the Masonic reader. Though this book's target reader is the newly obligated brother of any degree, even established Freemasons might discover a few ideas worthy of contemplation.
