Synopsis
Excerpt from Readings XXXII
There is no doubt, notwithstanding the account given of the 'revival' of Freemasonry in England, that it had its origin in Scotland, some time earlier and soon after it came to be in vogue in France. Degrees, which together were called Red Masonry, appeared there, some of which were called Ecossais. One of the oldest was the Maitre Ecossais, Scottish Master. This name Ecossais was given to the Degrees, because they were invented by Scottish refugees, partizans of the House of Stuart.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient mysteries, exploring their connections to the origins of Freemasonry and its symbolism. The author embarks on a journey through the works of ancient philosophers, including Plutarch, Pythagoras, and Iamblichus, drawing upon their writings to uncover the hidden meanings behind ancient rituals and symbols. The book examines the ancient Egyptian myth of Isis and Osiris, revealing how it mirrors the core principles of Freemasonry, particularly the themes of initiation, regeneration, and the pursuit of wisdom. The book argues that, while the details of the myths and rituals may have changed over time, the core message remains consistent: a quest for divine knowledge, moral purity, and the immortality of the soul. This journey through ancient mysteries offers a unique and insightful perspective on the history and philosophy behind Freemasonry, inviting readers to explore the rich and complex legacy of these enduring traditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
