Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Harmony in the Hive presents a compelling and practical vision for the revitalization of Freemasonry through careful attention to: Industry and Cooperation-How the beehive symbolizes the Masonic virtues of hard work, unity, and collective wisdom.Masonic Education-The necessity of intellectual engagement to prevent Freemasonry from becoming merely a social club.Spiritual and Esoteric Depth-Exploring the deeper meanings of Masonic symbols to enrich the spiritual journey of its members.Harmony and Renewal-Practical strategies for Lodges to foster harmony, heal internal discord, and inspire a new generation of Masons.Nathan St. Pierre calls for a return to the days when Freemasonry cultivated the mind and spirit, where the quest for knowledge was as much a part of the Craft as the rituals themselves. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the past, engage with the present, and shape the future of Freemasonry, ensuring it remains a vibrant force for personal and communal improvement. Reviews Nathan St. Pierre has written a small book that can have a large impact on the future of Freemasonry. Using the beehive as a metaphor for the organizational structure of a lodge, he then takes the reader through a sweeping overview of the historical antecedents which have defined for us the important differences in operative and speculative Masonry. .The author outlines the fundamental reasons for the persistent decline in American Freemasonry and then offers the reader a comprehensive list of ideas and practices specifically aimed at the interests of today's men which can lead to the restoration and renewal of the lodge. This is a book worth reading.-Robert G. Davis, Past Grand Master of Oklahoma, author of The Mason's Words and Understanding Manhood in America: Freemasonry's Enduring Path to the Mature Masculine Every Freemason is taught that Freemasonry has two sides: Operative/Practical and Speculative/Esoteric. When asked about the Fraternity, we are quick to respond on the Practical side naming the good work we do. But we often fail to understand that the Practical side is merely carrying out what we are taught on the Esoteric side. Recognizing this lack of understanding, Nathan St. Pierre has written a book which carefully traces the connection between the two sides and how they complement each other. He outlines ways in which lodges can begin programs of understanding Masonic history and why the ideas of the originators of the Fraternity are so important today. I highly recommend this book to all Freemasons and strongly suggest every lodge obtain copies to be given to new members!-Richard E. Fletcher, Past Grand Master of Vermont, former Executive Secretary of the Masonic Service Association of North America Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Ahiman is a new periodical anthology of Masonic writing, offering a serious exploration of the rich initiatic traditions of Freemasonry. Edited by Masonic scholar Shawn Eyer, Ahiman is dedicated to stimulating scholarship, penetrating interpretation and inspiring creative expressions focused upon the history, rituals, symbolism, iconography and philosophy of Freemasonry. Carefully researched and lavishly produced, each edition of Ahiman offers important material of interest to Freemasons and other students of Western esoteric traditions. This volume features original work by Thomas D. Worrel, David Stafford, Robert G. Davis, Erik Arneson, Adam G. Kendall, Erik O Neal, Greg Maier, Mounir Hanafi and Shawn Eyer, as well as insights from classic authors such as Joseph Fort Newton, Laurence Dermott, Thomas Starr King and W.L. Wilmshurst. I do not say it lightly, but this premiere issue of Ahiman may be the most balanced and philosophically engaging Masonic journal ever published. And it is probably the most handsomely designed as well. I strongly recommend that any Mason, who seeks a deeper understanding of Freemasonry, check out Ahiman immediately.--Jay Kinney, 33, Author of The Masonic Myth and recipient of the Albert G. Mackey Award for Excellence in Masonic Research from the Scottish Rite Research Society Ahiman fulfils an aching need within the Craft. For many years, there has been a tendency to suggest that Masonic scholarship ought to be exercised in historical argument alone. What has long been lacking is an open discourse that includes scholarship that addresses Freemasonry s spiritual and esoteric elements. To facilitate that wider conversation, Ahiman has now appeared.--Tobias Churton, Author of The Golden Builders and Freemasonry: The Reality, and Course Lecturer in Freemasonry at the University of Exeter s Centre for the Study of Esotericism.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. The Masonic Initiation is the powerful sequel to W. L. Wilmshurst's other enduring classic, The Meaning of Masonry.

Both Freemasons and those who study the Craft from a distance will enjoy these insightful essays. This new edition by Plumbstone has been fully revised and re-set in clear, modern type, and is enriched with extensive notes expanding on Wilmshurst's points, elucidating his sources, and explaining the differences between American and British Freemasonry. Prominent Masonic author Robert G. Davis writes in his Foreword that this edition provides a new look at a timeless classic which has induced many generations of Masons to feel that, when they are in the sacred space of lodge, they are in the presence of a mystery that goes to the root of their own being.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. 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' tre. 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.…
