The Meaning of Masonry is a book written by W.L. Wilmshurst that explores the philosophy and symbolism behind the Masonic fraternity. The author delves into the deeper meanings of Masonic rituals, symbols, and teachings, and offers insights into the spiritual and moral lessons that can be gleaned from them. Wilmshurst uses his extensive knowledge of esoteric traditions and occult practices to provide a comprehensive analysis of Masonry, its history, and its significance. He explains the symbolism of the Masonic Lodge, the degrees of initiation, and the various tools and implements used in Masonic rituals. Throughout the book, Wilmshurst emphasizes the importance of self-improvement, moral development, and spiritual growth, which he believes are the ultimate goals of Masonry. He argues that Masonry offers a path to enlightenment and self-transformation, and that its teachings can be applied to everyday life to achieve greater harmony, wisdom, and understanding. Overall, The Meaning of Masonry is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the Masonic fraternity and its teachings. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Masonry, esotericism, or spirituality.The papers here collected have been written with a view to promoting the deeper understanding of the meaning of Masonry; to providing the explanation of it that one constantly hears called for. The meaning of Masonry, however, is a subject usually left entirely unexpounded and that accordingly remains largely unrealized by its members save such few as make it their private study. It seems taken for granted that reception into the Order will automatically be accompanied by an ability to appreciate forthwith and at its full value all that one there finds. The contrary is the case, for Masonry is a veiled and cryptic expression of the difficult science of spiritual life, and the understanding of it calls for special and informed guidance on the one hand, and on the other a genuine and earnest desire for knowledge on the part of those seeking to be instructed. Contents: The Position and Possibilities of the Masonic Order; Deeper Symbolism of Freemasonry; Masonry as a Philosophy; Further Notes on Craft Symbolism; The Form of the Lodge; Holy Royal Arch of Jerusalem; Freemasonry in Relation to the Ancient Mysteries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
