Synopsis

The Meaning of Masonry stresses the original purpose of Freemasonry as a "spiritual science," a specialised form of mysticism designed to answer the timeless questions of those who seek self-knowledge: What am I? Whence come I? Whither go I?"

W. L. Wilmshurst was an initiate of Huddersfield Masonic Lodge in England and became a prominent author of books and articles on masonry that bespoke a deep knowledge of the mystical side of an organisation little known to the outside world. First published in 1922, The Meaning of Masonryis an exposition of Freemasonry's esoteric credentials, its true raison d'être. The symbolism of the rituals enacted during the four initiations are, emphasises Wilmshurst, but outward forms of the deeper, invisible stages of spiritual growth. Masonic symbols and biblical allegories are explained and linked to masonry's roots in the ancient philosophies of India, Egypt and Greece.

Written solely for Brothers of the Craft, the now wider accessibility of this important book outside masonic circles does much to inspire spiritual growth - and brings with it a new respect for the ideal of Freemasonry.
