Charles H. Vail - Ancient Mysteries and Modern Masonry (1909)





In the early ages occult knowledge was taught openly, as the sciences are taught in our colleges to-day. But in the course of time many allowed their selfishness to rule and so abused their power that it became necessary to withhold such knowledge from the unworthy. This was the condition of religious affairs when the Mysteries were necessarily established by the King-Priests of the Divine Dynasties, in the early days of Atlantis. -from "The Origin of the Mysteries"

Though the author cannot, alas, "lift the veil from the secrets of the Order," 32nd-degree Freemason Charles H. Vail endeavors to lead the curious toward a more complete understanding of the ancient knowledge of the eternal truth of the universe of which the Masons are the keepers.

From the great antiquity of Masonic symbols and traditions to the formation of the organization with their perpetuation as its goal, this 1909 book is an intriguing glimpse inside one of the most secretive fraternities in existence. It is required reading for those fascinated by arcane wisdom and secret societies.

James Anderson - The Constitutions of the Free-Masons (1859)



Edition of the the first Masonic book printed in America, which was originally produced in Philadelphia by Benjamin Franklin in 1734, and was a reprint of a work by James Anderson (who is identified as the author in an appendix) printed in London in 1723. This is the seminal work of American Masonry, edited and published by one of the founding fathers, and of great importance to the development of colonial society and the formation of the Republic. The work contains a 40-page history of Masonry: from Adam to the reign of King George I, including, among others, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Solomon, Hiram Abif, Nebuchadnezzar, Augustus Caesar, Vitruvius, King Athelstan the Saxon, Inigo Jones, and James I of England. It is a celebration of the science of Geometry and the Royal Art of Architecture. The work also includes five songs, one of which—“A New Song”—appears in print for the first time and may have been composed by Franklin.

Oliver Day Street - Symbolism of the Three Degrees

Originally published in 1920s by Oliver Day Street, Symbolism of the Three Degrees completely elucidates the symbolism of Freemasonry in three volumes:

* Volume I: The Entered Apprentice Degree
* Volume II: The Fellow Craft Degree
* Volume III: The Master Mason Degree

The author proceeds upon the principle, ignored by so many, that Masonic symbols should have a Masonic interpretation, as determined by the history and teaching of the Craft. This saves him the trouble, and his readers the weariness, of wandering through the mazes of ancient lore in quest of imaginary meanings of symbols to which the Craft has given, tacitly or officially, its own interpretation. The comparative study of symbols, to say nothing of their varied, meanings and migrations, is another subject, and is beyond the limits and purpose of this book.

Symbolism of the Three Degrees will be welcomed by the Craft as a practical and competent elucidation of its symbolism, and it is an honor to the M.S.A. (Masonic Service Association) to give it a worthy and permanent form.

3 volumes, 17.8 MB, PDF. Scan.

Lost Scriptures: Books that Did Not Make It into the New Testament


Review
"Fresh authoritative translations of the texts that fell outside in the canon."--Christian Science Monitor
"A companion to Lost Christianities, this volume provides substantial selections from over three dozen of the Gospels, Acts, Epistles, Apocalypses and revelatory treatises not included in the New Testament canon, but which reveal the diverse and competing forms of early Christianity. Ehrman's introductions helpfully situate the documents in their presumed original settings. An invaluable collection of texts for both students of early Christianity and general readers."--Elizabeth A. Clark, John Carlisle Kilgo Professor, Duke University
"Lost Scriptures provides a good sample of the literature and illustrates nicely the complex and often exotic world of second- and third-century Christianity.... The texts presented in Ehrman's anthology and his incisive analyses of them constitute a solid contribution to showing the diversity of thought and practice within early Christianity."--America

Lectures From Stephan Hoeller of the Gnostic Church







The Ecclesia Gnostica (Latin for The Gnostic Church) is a gnostic church organized in England and since 1959 in the United States originally under the name Pre-Nicene Gnostic Catholic Church. It is centered in Los Angeles, California with parishes in Seattle, Washington, Portland, Oregon, Salt Lake City, Utah, Sedona, Arizona, and Oslo, Norway.

It has a sister organization named the Gnostic Society, which also run the gnosis.org website on gnosticism. This organization is intended for studies of gnosticism, not religious services.

The bishop of the church is Stephan A. Hoeller, a notable Gnostic who has written extensively on Gnosticism and Jungian psychology. Jan Valentin Sæther is the proxy bishop of Norway.

I have a big colletion of Lectures By Hoeller and will be posting them in the few days. Don't miss these. They are increadible.

Hoeller on the Matrix



The Matrix is a truely gnostic movie. Hoeller draws parallels between gnosticism and the classic movie. In the matrix humans are living in a lie, gnosticism tells us a very similar story.
