Book Reviews of Freemasonry: Symbols, Secrets, Significance
Book Review: An interesting but shallow inside-look at Freemasonry
Summary: 3 Stars
This book written by a long-standing member of the Masons is more of a picture-book than a book in the ordinary sense. There is very little text at all, it consists mainly of large pictures, and is hence a very short "read". That being said, he includes a lot of fascinating pictures, drawings and paintings both known and unknown from before. The book serves adequately as a decent introduction to Freemasonry, but don't expect this to be very honest. You notice immediately that it is written by one of the brothers, since he only vaguely hints at everything, and you don't really feel you get to know anything that is of real interest.
It contains a lot of interesting images that show you just how deep in high society this travesty runs. If you read between the lines though, you will quickly see a connection between Judaism, Freemasonry and the ruling "elites". It saddens me to see all these fine men in the early 1900's throwing their intellectual energy away into something so filled with subversive elements. What did the men of Europe have to do with Kabala and its various spawns and cousins? These men could have saved the West when it was still a relatively easy thing to accomplish, but instead they chose to sell out their souls to this meaningless Semitic non-sense.
Recommended, but read with caution, because this is not the real face of Freemasonry, that ugly grin hides beneath the "for the good of society"-facade. A very educating and penetrating essay to read regarding the subject is Julius Evola - "The Relationship between Judaism and Freemasonry", an essay I highly recommend and that you will find easily available on the internet.

Book Review: masonic disinfo.com and disneyworld is lovely
Summary: 2 Stars
great coofetable book for grandpa to show the family what he is been doing every week when he meets his friends to do charitable work
but in realityland
beatiful pictures beatiful stories beatiful explanations that say basically nothing except superficial bla bla
one always wonders if the guy writing this
is leaving all the really interesting stuff, connections, persons and vital data out on purpose
to keep the profane dumbed down
or if they themselves are so dumbed down to believe the crap they are writing
hard to imagine really given that they spend a lifetime studying this stuff and still havent been able to see a bigger picture than there local lodge
so if you re looking for a historical account by even the most sloppy standards this book is rubbish
if youre looking for explanations of the esoteric meanings beyond the most obvious superficial layer of things this book is rubbish
if you re looking for anything more than a thinly veiled advertisment brochure by a devout disciple of the craft
dont buy !
if you re looking for a brief introduction with glossy pictures
and are prepared to be misled
buy !
