Freemasonry is a secret mystical brotherhood that dates back many centuries. According to the author it teaches that a Great Architect of the Universe exists, and of the possibility that an inner principle of life is found within us and survives bodily death. These important teachings are laid out clearly in this book -- starting from remote history and up through the ages, revealing the secrets as it goes. It covers such subjects as the all-seeing eye, immortality of the soul, the mystery of death, Solomon's temple, the Greater Mysteries, Sun worship, symbolic architecture, Hiran Abif, and much more.

Robert Langdon, while at the U.S. Capital Building, finds an object encoded with five symbols, which is an ancient invitation to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom. When Langdon's belived mentor, Peter Solomon, is kidnapped, he realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations - all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth.

The Symbolism of Freemasonry by Albert G. Mackey, American doctor, author, and freemason, was originally published in the United States in 1882. The work outlines the history, evolution, and heritage of similar esoteric orders and groups, its origins in the Noachide, Eleusinian Cult, and Dionysian Artificers, but also takes a deep look into the complex web of symbolism that modern masonry draws upon. The work also has a handy synoptical index to bring clarity to much of the confusing terminology surrounding this arcane group.

Of the various modes of communicating instruction to the uninformed, the masonic student is particularly interested in two; namely, the instruction by legends and that by symbols. It is to these two, almost exclusively, that he is indebted for all that he knows, and for all that he can know, of the philosophic system which is taught in the institution. All its mysteries and its dogmas, which constitute its philosophy, are intrusted for communication to the neophyte, sometimes to one, sometimes to the other of these two methods of instruction, and sometimes to both of them combined. The Freemason has no way of reaching any of the esoteric teachings of the Order except through the medium of a legend or a symbol.

"Freemasonry is a science of symbols, in which, by their proper study, a search is instituted after truth, that truth consisting in the knowledge of the divine and human nature of God and the human Soul." -Albert G. Mackey "Freemasonry is a science. The great principles it unfolds are beautifully clothed in allegories and symbols, and the true student of its sublime doctrines, who will submit to their influences, cannot miss a noble life. Few, however, comparatively, of the fraternity, deeply investigate the internal character of Masonry. They are content with a slight knowledge of the more routine of labor - the beautiful ceremonial of a virtuous craftsman - and pause not to read the sublime truths deeply hidden beneath the drapery of rites and ceremonies. They are content to know that the science they profess teaches the great doctrines of the unity of God and the immortality of the soul, but have little appreciation of the exquisitely beautiful and graduated links in the chain of evidence and demonstration. The book before us is invaluable as a guide and teacher. It unlocks the deep recesses of Masonic mystery, and ably simplifies it's most difficult and obscure symbols. "It contains thirty one chapters, and a very elaborate synoptical index, which greatly enhances the utility and value of the work. While every chapter furnishes evidence of great research and ability, that on the 'symbolism of labor' we consider the gem of the book. It is a beautiful production, and reflects honor upon the writer. The book, of course, commends itself to the brotherhood, but we have no hesitation in recommending it to every household, and to every young man in the land. It is a gallery of ancient pictures whose excellencies grow upon the student with every moment devoted to them." -The XIX Century, Volume 1, 1869 Contents.

The purpose of these lectures is to consider the origin and nature of the Ancient Mysteries and Modern Masonry and to show the relation which they bear one to the other. Freemasonry deals largely with the morals and symbols of the Mysteries of Antiquity, and originally was one of the channels of Ancient Wisdom. There were a few among the founders of Modern Masonry who possessed the Royal Secret, or, at least, had a knowledge of its existence, and, if the key has been lost, the Mason, as Heir-apparent of the Old Wisdom, should be foremost in the search for its recovery. All agree that the Masonic symbols and traditions are of the greatest antiquity, and can be traced to the far East--to the earliest civilization, from which time and place they have spoken in nature's language to all peoples of the earth. We are more and more convinced that this picture language of our ritual contains a most complete philosophy--a knowledge embracing the eternal verities of the universe, and that these symbols were designed by the Initiates of old to preserve and convey that Ancient Wisdom to the present and future generations. Though empires and dynastic continents have appeared and passed away, these ancient symbols, hewn in rock-cut temples and monuments, have served to convey the Great Secret from ages past and will continue its record as long as this part of the universe remains.
