Do you want to know more? Become a Freemason

Having to study about Freemasonry, being interested in all the things it represented, a dictionary was absolutely a good suggestion.Honestly, I couldn't imagine I would have found so many interesting things in this Dictionary, divided in two parts and full of illustrations.While working on my book (which only incidentally is about Freemasonry), this Dictionary helped me in more than one occasion.Very well explained and extremely useful, it is a good companion of another book, Edward Waite's "A New Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry".If you want to know more, all you have to do is knock on a Temple's door.

Wonderful Guide To Masonic Information

Getting accurate, correct, and truthful Masonic information can sometimes feel harder then pulling teeth. Freemasonry is a subject that alot of people don't know about and fewer truly understand, which makes gleaning useful information difficult. Even talking to some Masons might leave you with more questions then answers after your done.However Roberet MacOy's work in "A Dictionary of Freemasonry" provides light to anyone seeking Masonic history and information. MacOy's work is part history, part encylopedia, and part dictionary. It starts with a brief history of Freemasonry and lists the terminology in two different volumes using an A-Z dictionary format. It explains the people, places, terms, and symbols that you would ever want to know about and much more.Every lodge should have a few copies of this work on hand and anyone with an interest in Freemasonry must have one on their bookshelf too. If you doing Masonic research, its priceless, but if just want to learn about Masonry, its informative and easy to follow and provides more information then you can well, shake a stick at, a big stick too.
