100th Anniversary Edition. "Masonic Initiation" was first published in 1924. It is a highly enigmatic, frank, and enlightened look at Masonry, humanity, and our greater purpose. This inspired Masonic book gives a clear account of the state of 1924 Masonry that is as valid as if it were first published today. The heart of Initiation and rituals are explained in a manner designed to speak to the spiritually minded Mason. This is a book written for the initiate with a burning hunger for the deeper aspects of Freemasonry. Retypeset, edited, and with a foreword by Michael R. Poll.
