[.uk] Meaning of Masonry (ISBN 0517331942)

My Husband and his books:
Well all I can really comment is that my dear husband loves the book. He will not speak on it or about it, though. He gave me the title, I ordered the book for him. He read it from cover to cover immediately and placed it away in his secret safe place. I am happy as long as he is happy.

An Invaluable Find:
I teach a course on the history of Witchcraft at a local esoteric shop, and this book was invaluable to my research. Wilmhurst assumes that the reader already has some background in Masonry, so I don't recommend this as a first-read to anyone just beginning to learn about either Masonry or the Mysteries. However, for any serious student of the occult, mysticism, magick, Witchcraft, Masonry or the Mystery traditions, this book is an excellent find. All of the bits and pieces of information I've picked up over the years concerning Masonry make a great deal more sense now. Concerning Wilmhurst's writing style: on a few occasions I had to go back and re-read a passage to catch the meaning, but didn't find the author's language problematic, as some reviewers have complained. However, this book is adapted from a series of lectures, so I will forewarn that it can be repetitive. Overall, I found that the content of the author's material far outweighed the somewhat unfamiliar writing style.

thin and no substance:
The title says alot I my expectations were high. Too bad they were not met. After reading pages after pages I sit with the fealing of getting very little substance and my notebook has barely any good points worth writing down. If you want to know the message freemasonry teaches and how they use the symbols, there are far better books than this. Some of those books are even free.

On "The Meaning Of Masonry":
While teaching The Ancient Mysteries and History, I ran across this well written book. It is the best book on what Masonry is about. It is the true meaning of Masonry. It is at the top with recommended books by The Grand Lodge of California and of my local lodge. Every Mason should have a copy and read it over and over.The Meaning of Masonry

For the Initiate:
This book is really a collection of papers from one of the early 20th century's greatest Masonic minds. If you are seeking a more open path in your walk to faith and seek to understand the deeper mysteries of the initiatic experience...this is your book.
