Lectures on Masonic Symbolism and A Second Lecture on Symbolism or the Omkara and other Ineffable Words are two works by Albert Pike that explore the symbolism present in Freemasonry. In the first lecture, Pike delves into the various symbols used in Masonic rituals and ceremonies, such as the square, compass, and the letter G. He also discusses the deeper meanings behind these symbols and how they relate to the teachings of Freemasonry.In the second lecture, Pike focuses on the Omkara, a sacred symbol in Hinduism that represents the sound of the universe. He draws parallels between this symbol and the Masonic concept of the Word, which is believed to be the name of God. Pike also explores other ineffable words and symbols used in various religious traditions and how they relate to the teachings of Freemasonry.Overall, these lectures provide a comprehensive and insightful look into the symbolism present in Freemasonry and how it relates to broader spiritual concepts. They are a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of this ancient and mysterious organization.This Lecture is intended to be...I think, my last labor of the kind in Masonry. I hope that I have succeeded in rescuing part of the Symbols of Freemasonry, in some degree, from the condition of insignificance into which they had fallen and in proving that there is something in the Royal Art to make it worthy of the attention, and study of men of intellect and learning; which they have not heretofore believed. The mass of Masons are little inclined to read works on Masonry. And I think it wiser, also, to place these works in a few hands, and let what truths they may contain be communicated orally to others by the few who read them. I have endeavoured to do that for our symbols, and am amply rewarded by what I have learned. This book is extremely scarce as there were only 100 copies ever printed. This is the first reprint ever of this essential, illuminating work, on Freemasonry. Highly recommended.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
