Publisher's summary

Manly P. Hall, masonic and esoteric scholar, traces the path followed by initiates to the ancient craft. Hall also recounts the ethical training required of a Freemason, and he profiles the character traits a Mason must "build" within himself.

More than a mere social organization a few centuries old, Freemasonry can be regarded as a perpetuation of the philosophical mysteries and initiations of the ancients. This book reveals the unique and distinctive elements that have inspired generations of Masons. Thoughtful members of the craft, as well as outsiders, will appreciate its exploration of Masonic idealism and the eternal quest, from humble candidate to entered apprentice and master Mason.

Great Book

A great book, and a must read for all Master Masons. This is the perfect Manly P. Hall book to start with before getting into his other works.

Great Info for Freemasons

This is great info for Freemasons if you want to learn about the Esoteric side so often missed from the ritual. Am going to listen again.

Good but problematic

If you read the biography of Hall (titled Master of Mysteries) you will learn he fell short of his ideals. The book is a very poetic, and impressive, river of metaphors on what Freemsonry ought to be. The ideals are set so high they become unrealistic and very impractical. This is fine, the book is 100 years old after all, but it should be taken with a grain of salt. Big hat, little cowboy. That being said, this book offers valuable poetic insights into Freemasonry. So it is worth the time of those already in the order.

dont bother...

boring. uninformative... if you are looking for reasons NOT TO become a Mason, and you are discerning enough to understand truth and recognise lies. then this book might be worth reading. but it's a tedious chore to read it.
