Product Description
Here is Manly P. Hall's classic work on history's most secretive brotherhood- reset and collected with two additional celebrated Hall volumes on occult Masonry.
Freemasonry is the subject of perennial fascination-recently the cover story of a national newsmagazine, the premise of the movie National Treasure, and the anticipated basis of a forthcoming novel by Dan Brown. The twentieth century's great scholar of occult and esoteric ideas, Manly P. Hall was a Mason himself and nurtured a lifelong interest in the secret fraternal order, making it the focus of one of his earliest and best-loved books, The Lost Keys of Freemasonry. In this celebrated work, he examines the ethical training required of a Freemason, and the character traits a Mason must "build" within himself. Hall's 1923 volume is now reset and made available exclusively in this new edition, along with the author's two further classics on Masonry:
- Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians (1937), which explores the roots of Freemasonry in the initiatory temple rites of Pharaonic Egypt; and
- Masonic Orders of Fraternity (1950), a fascinating work of short history that chronicles the reemergence of Freemasonry in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It surveys the lives of Masonry's modern architects and the secretive organizations that immediately preceded the brotherhood.
This three-in-one volume features the original illustrations of each book, for a total of nearly thirty images, including recreations of scenes and rites from Masonry's unusual history. It also includes a new index encompassing all three titles.

 This Book Reveals Ancient Mysteries March 12, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Have you ever noticed the strange symbols on the back of the US dollar bill? Have you wondered about the origins of those symbols and how our Founding Fathers ever came up with them? You are looking at symbols related to the ancient Fraternity of Freemasonry. Many of the Founders of our Constitution were members of that mysterious order. If you have ever wondered about that secret society, now is your chance to find out. The three works published together for the first time in this volume will push aside the veil of the inner temple and lead you into its mysteries.
Freemasonry is a spiritual philosophy with its roots in antiquity. These roots are rumored to extend back to the Ancient Egyptians who were the builders of the pyramids and the sacred temples at Thebes and Luxor. It is about the spiritual journey of the soul and the effort to defeat the negative influences that seek to overcome it and release the magnificence of the soul's true splendor. The philosophy is about the spiritual journey and, yet, is attached to no specific religion. Masonic Orders have been comprised of members of all faiths.
As you step into this book, you become the Initiate who is led through many trials to attain the various levels of self-knowledge and ultimately, enlightenment and the true knowledge of his own Divine nature. The journey is fraught with perils both of the Master's devising and those of the Initiate's own shortcomings.
Once you read this book, you will see the world differently. Hidden symbols that you barely noticed before will leap out at you alive with meaning. This book will reveal a world of mystery surrounding you that you never saw before.
