There are over ten million freemasons in the world. The supposed power of their occult network is often feared, and yet freemasonry is not a closed doctrine. Richly illustrated, Symbols of Freemasonry provides a synthesis of one of mankind's oldest existing secular brotherhoods. It is designed both for the initiated and for newcomers interested in gaining a better understanding of this fascinating but often misrepresented society.
The book does a good job of explaining many of the symbols used in Freemasonry. It also discusses Masonic clothing, the most common rites, and gives information for further reading. Has some beautiful color photos of Masonic symbols, aprons, etched glasses, tracing boards, art works, etc.
