Book Synopsis

This book is written in the spirit of Traditional Masonry, Traditional being that of the beginning origins of Speculative Freemasonry. Several of our most honorable and ancient traditions are not being practiced; even in some cases they are illegal in some jurisdictions. In so many lodges today, the real intent of a True Masonic Experience is not being observed. We have gotten away from what our forefathers originally intended, we have become satisfied with the fellowship endured over a spaghetti dinner on paper plates, and that is not Freemasonry. Why is it that we as Freemasons have tried to turn masonry into something that it is not and have veered away from some of the foundations of the order? This book explores these venues and aid you to achieve the True Masonic Experience for you and the members of your Lodge
