Description

An absorbing, in-depth study of Freemasonry and the Mystery schools of ancient Egypt, Greece, Judea, and Europe in the Middle Ages, up to the emergence of Co-Masonry in the 20th cent. Leadbeater (1847-1934) used his capacity for clairvoyance or ¿seeing¿ beyond the physical plane for many purposes. He relates previously unknown facts about the Mystery schools and their practices and beliefs. His points up many similarities among these schools in spite of distance and time -- a ¿Mystery-bond¿ running through otherwise disparate cultures. These ancient rites have emerged in the 20th cent. as Freemasonry. This is a reprint of a book previously published as ¿Glimpses of Masonic History¿ (1926) and ¿Ancient Mystic Rites¿ (1986).
