The Gnostic and Esoteric Mysteries of Freemasonry, Lucifer and the Great Work

by Éliphas Lévi, Arnold Krumm-Heller, Samael Aun Weor

This book is a compilation of extracts, articles and lectures on the mysterious and often misunderstood subjects of Freemasonry, Lucifer and the Great Work. It is presented in Bilingual format with English side by side with Spanish and is meant as a companion or supplement to the Gnostic Classic "The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of the Tarot and Kabalah" (1978) by Samael Aun Weor. The reader should recognize the Kabalistic symbolism that is suggested by all three authors: Éliphas Lévi, Samael Aun Weor and Arnoldo Krumm-Heller. Some of the material is published here for the first time in English.

"In our present time there are a great number of men who believe themselves to be Free-masons, yet they ignore the meaning of their Rites, and have lost the Key of their Mysteries. They do not even comprehend their symbolic pictures, nor their hieroglyphic signs, which are the pages of a book of the absolute and universal science, and can be read with the help of the Kabalistic Keys..."

Reviews

[Richard Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has so much information, its ridiculous, and its not at all what you think. There are basically a few different parts: Masonry and its symbolism, Religious unity, the Devil/Lucifer and their symbolism, Alchemy (the Great Work) and its relation to the others parts. The book is very Kabalistic and it is recommened to study "The Initiatic Arcana in the Path of Tarot & Kabalah" by Samael Aun Weor as well.
