Synopsis
In this illustrated volume, an expert in arcane symbolism traces Masonic history from Ancient Egypt to the twentieth century through more than one hundred symbols.The Freemasons have profoundly altered the course of history. Their belief in liberty and equality influenced both the French and American Revolutions, as evidenced in part by the symbols on our currency. In The Arcana of Freemasonry, first published in 1915, Albert Churchward weaves a tale of Masonry’s origins in ancient Egypt and its continuance through history—all told via Masonic symbols and symbolism.From Egyptian history and Mayan relief work through Greek mathematicians, philosophers, and metaphysicians, Churchward traces the development of the most basic symbols of Freemasonry. He also reveals the hidden symbolism found in the signs and tools of modern Freemasonry and helps readers find hidden meanings in all areas of life from art and architecture to geometry and poetry.
