Sinopsis

The book ""Lectures on Masonic Symbolism and A Second Lecture on Symbolism or the Omkara and other Ineffable Words"" by Albert Pike is a comprehensive study of the symbolism used in Freemasonry. The first part of the book covers various symbols used in Masonry, including the letter G, the sun, moon, and stars, and the pillars of Jachin and Boaz. Pike delves into the meanings behind these symbols and how they relate to the teachings of Freemasonry.The second part of the book focuses on the Omkara, a sacred Hindu symbol that represents the sound of the universe. Pike explores the significance of this symbol and how it relates to the Masonic teachings of the ineffable name of God.Throughout the book, Pike draws on his extensive knowledge of esotericism and comparative religion to provide a deep understanding of the symbolism used in Masonry. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of Masonic symbolism.This Lecture is intended to be...I think, my last labor of the kind in Masonry. I hope that I have succeeded in rescuing part of the Symbols of Freemasonry, in some degree, from the condition of insignificance into which they had fallen and in proving that there is something in the Royal Art to make it worthy of the attention, and study of men of intellect and learning; which they have not heretofore believed. The mass of Masons are little inclined to read works on Masonry. And I think it wiser, also, to place these works in a few hands, and let what truths they may contain be communicated orally to others by the few who read them. I have endeavoured to do that for our symbols, and am amply rewarded by what I have learned. This book is extremely scarce as there were only 100 copies ever printed. This is the first reprint ever of this essential, illuminating work, on Freemasonry. Highly recommended.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
