Thomas Paine - On the Origin of Free-Masonry (1810)



It is always understood that Freemasons have a secret which they carefully conceal; but from everything that can be collected from their own accounts of Masonry, their real secret is no other than their origin, which but few of them understand; and those who do, envelop it in mystery.

The Society of Masons are distinguished into three classes or degrees. 1st. The Entered Apprentice. 2d. The Fellow Craft. 3d. The Master Mason.

The Entered Apprentice knows but little more of Masonry than the use of signs and tokens, and certain steps and words by which Masons can recognize each other without being discovered by a person who is not a Mason. The Fellow Craft is not much better instructed in Masonry, than the Entered Apprentice. It is only in the Master Mason's Lodge, that whatever knowledge remains of the origin of Masonry is preserved and concealed.

You're welcome, driecken. Good luck with the reading. Some books from here are rather difficult to read.

[califrag]

Thank you for your valuable contributions and great efforts, tehuti.

I came across this thread by searching for books from Edgar Cayce - of which there aren't any but there was a reference to him in regards to another book.

I was wondering if you have been able to come across any books by Cayce or even Edgar Cayce's Predictions For The 21st Century by Mark Thurston?

I do have the History channel's show on him "The Other Nostradamus":

And I came across an Audio Book that has much from that program as well as interviews with his family and others involved with him:

But I'm trying to find, especially the one noted above on the 21st Century, and there is also a CD that contains over 14,000 of his readings that sounds interesting as well as one on Cayce and the Akashic records.

If you don't have them, thanks anyway for all that you have provided.

[tehuti]

@califrag, thank you for visiting.

I'll try to dig out some Cayce's writings. Be patient.

Ritual of the Independent Order of Good Templars for Subordinate Lodges (1864)



The IOGT Internatinal (formerly known as the International Organisation of Good Templars and International Order of Good Templars and the Independent Order of Good Templars) is an international non-governmental organisation working in the field of temperance. It is based in Sweden, a country which had very strict alcohol policies and laws in the past.

The IOGT originated as one of a number of fraternal organisations for temperance or total abstinence founded in the 19th century and with a structure modelled on Freemasonry, using similar ritual and regalia. Unlike many, however, it admitted men and women equally, and also made no distinction by race.

In the Continuum, 10 volumes



IN THE CONTINUUM is a Thelemic periodical, published by the College of Thelema from 1976 through 1996. It features writings by Aleister Crowley which are difficult (or even impossible) to find in print, or which are basic studies in the understanding of Thelemic principles expressed in Liber L. vel Legis.

For over twenty years it has been the leader and standard against which all other Thelemic educational periodicals have been compared. This journal includes basic instructional articles of value to all students of Thelema, and helps to clarify some of the profundities of Crowley's thought. Articles on Qabalah, tarot, magick ritual, basic astrology, the history of Thelema, and other related subjects are included which will assist the student to find his or her own True Will through self-knowledge. There is a regular section on the Qabalistic analysis of various numbers, as well as poetry by Crowley and others.

John Michael Greer - Circles of Power



Despite its popularity, the Golden Dawn system of magic has potentials that are all but untapped. Even the simplest Golden Dawn practices have aspects that have never been brought out in print. This book is the definitive practical handbook on the Cabalistic magic of the Golden Dawn. It goes step-by-step through the entire body of Cabalistic ritual magic, from simple building blocks to powerful advanced techniques.

This is an absolutely first rate book. Greer discusses modern ritual magic from the golden dawn tradition in what is probably the most succinct and informatory book on the subject ever. He covers the major rituals and does what practically no other author does in explaining the why things are done as they are.

Henrik Bogdan - Western Esotericism and Rituals of Initiation



For more than three hundred years the practice of Masonic rituals of initiation has been part of Western culture, spreading far beyond the boundaries of traditional Freemasonry. Henrik Bogdan explores the historical development of these rituals and their relationship with Western esotericism. Beginning with the Craft degrees of Freemasonry--the blueprints, as it were, of all later Masonic rituals of initiation--Bogdan examines the development of the Masonic High Degrees, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn--the most influential of all nineteenth-century occultist initiatory societies--and Gerald Gardner's Witchcraft movement of the 1950s, one of the first large-scale Western esoteric New Religions Movements.

"This is truly an original work on an important subject. The most significant thing is probably the definition of `ritual.' The field of Western esotericism is a young one, and while some of its terminology is now a matter of common consent, ritual has never been subjected to scrutiny in this context. Bogdan also shows how different rituals convey different elements of the Western esoteric tradition: some Freemasonic ritual teaches alchemy; the Golden Dawn teaches Kabbalah; and witchcraft teaches principles of sexual magic. The entire book has an earnestness about it that makes the reader take these rituals seriously." -- Joscelyn Godwin, author of The Real Rule of Four

R.J.Stewart - The Underworld Initiation: A journey towards psychic transformation (Celtic Muth & Legend, V. 3)



This stimulating and important study provides evidence for a potent transformative tradition within the esoteric consciousness of the West. Drawing on material from hitherto disregarded sources, RJ. Stewart reconstructs the key to a true understanding of Western esoteric lore, suggesting that the bulk of so-called Western occultism is an intellectual fabrication derived mainly from nineteenth-century sources. The authentic magical tradition of the west, the author claims, is concerned with the UnderWorld Initiation, a powerful system of altering consciousness in a dynamic and far-reaching manner, the central symbols of which survive in songs and ballads whose roots are in the Celtic and pre-Celtic past.

Among the subjects covered are:

* the non-Qabalistic Tree of Life
* the emasculating role of psychology in esoteric studies
* the Summoning of Ancestors
* the Dark Queen and the Seer
* the Tongue that Cannot Lie

Lon Milo Duquette - The Key to Solomon's Key





Sketching out a fascinating network of historic figures, cults, and Christendom, this book by an occult-studies expert and respected authority on magic and sorcery takes Western spiritual traditions seriously—but examines them with common sense and self-effacing humor. Working backward from the Freemasons to one of their original orders, the 14th-century Knights Templar, the account considers sorcery, heresy, and intrigues; explores the legend that the Knights possessed a powerful secret dangerous to the Church of Rome; and finds an essential clue to the order's practices in their connection to the biblical Solomon, king of Israel in the 10th century BC.

Hermes Trismegistus - The Divine Pymander (printed in 1650)



Within these pages lies a gold mine of wisdom. The author, Hermes Trismegistus, may not have been a single personage, but the information here is both illuminating and highly relevant. These teachings have been often referred to by the greatest philosophers of Greece and the Church Fathers of Christianity. Tertullian and Justin Martyr once stated that if anyone wanted to learn about God, they should listen to Hermes. He likely lived in Alexandria, and was influenced by early Christian and Gnostic ideas. The most influential work of hermetic/occult literature.
