Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Constitutions of the Free-Masons was a constitution written for the Premier Grand Lodge of England, to standardize the rituals and practices of Freemasonry among lodges of London and Westminster operating under that Grand Lodge. Obviously, it was not meant to apply to other lodges in other parts of England, Scotland and Ireland. The constitution laid the foundation of the legend of Hiram Abiff, King Solomon's Master Builder, along with the pyramid style organizational model of Freemasonry. The first and second edition were written by Rev. James Anderson in 1723 and 1738.Anderson's Constitutions were based on the Old Masonic Manuscripts (also called "Gothic Constitutions") and on the General Regulations which had been compiled first by George Payne in 1720. The full title of the 1723 edition was The Constitutions of the Free-Masons, Containing the History, Charges, Regulations, &c. of that most Ancient and Right Worshipful Fraternity, For the Use of the Lodges.When in 1738, the Grand Lodge changed its name from Grand Lodge of London and Westminster into the Grand Lodge of England, the Constitution was rewritten by Anderson. The title of the second, rewritten, edition of 1738 was The New Book of Constitutions of the Antient and Honourable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons, Containing Their History, Charges, Regulations, &c. Collected and Digested By Order of the Grand Lodge from their old Records, faithful Traditions and Lodge-Books, For the Use of the Lodges.The 1723 edition of the Constitutions was edited and reprinted by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia in 1734, becoming the first Masonic book printed in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition unites the Masonic Constitution together with other regulations, plus a selection of Freemason songs traditionally sung in the Lodges. A fascinating account of the Freemason traditions, and a crucial source document for founders of the Masonic Lodges, this book offers insight into both the historic and social qualities of Freemasonry. We discover how the organization's hierarchy is arranged, how it advances principles such as mutual aid between Masons times of crisis or hardship, and how relevant subjects of Art and Architecture are ripe for discussion. Rules of rank, conduct, congregation and ceremony are sequentially laid out in the book's second portion: the General Regulations. We learn how one Lodge is to associate with another, how periodic communications are to be issued to Masons, how a Lodge's finances are to be organized, and how the Wardens oversee the group's affairs. Rules protecting against the abuse of the society, and rules of succession in the event of a Grand-Master's death or incapacity, are also given. The concluding portion of this book contains a selection of songs. These are intended to be sung by Freemasons in celebration; generally, they praise aspects of architecture and design employing sound geometry, while the singers congratulate one another and celebrate the convivial aspects of fraternity. First composed in the 1720s, we see in this book an authentic and detailed account of Freemasonry in its early years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the influence of secret societies on the formative documents and symbols of the United States • Reveals the Founding Fathers’ spiritual vision for America as encoded in the Great Seal • Traces the influence of the Iroquois League of Nations upon the Constitution • Exposes the deep connections the Founding Fathers had with the Freemasons and other secret societies All children growing up in America learn who the Founding Fathers were. Most, however, never learn of the founders’ connections to the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians, and other esoteric orders. In Founding Fathers, Secret Societies Robert Hieronimus investigates these important connections and how their influence can be traced throughout our most significant national documents and symbols, especially the Great Seal. He reveals in detail how the reverse of the Great Seal--which appears on the back of the one-dollar bill--is a blueprint that conveys the secret destiny of America. By understanding the kabbalistic meaning of the Great Seal’s reverse, he shows how our current era presents unique opportunities for the fulfillment of our Founding Fathers’ spiritual vision.
