Excerpt from Readings XXXII
There is no doubt, notwithstanding the account given of the 'revival' of Freemasonry in England, that it had its origin in Scotland, some time earlier and soon after it came to be in vogue in France. Degrees, which together were called Red Masonry, appeared there, some of which were called Ecossais. One of the oldest was the Maitre Ecossais, Scottish Master. This name Ecossais was given to the Degrees, because they were invented by Scottish refugees, partizans of the House of Stuart.

Excerpt from Readings XXXII
There is no proof that the Templars who survived the destruction of the Order, were reorganized anywhere as Ka-dosh. In fact the Degree of that name cannot be traced back to the beginning of the 18th century. But when it was made, it assumed to be a revival of the Order of the Temple, and to conceal this pretension from those to whom it would have been odious if it had appropriated the name of the old Order, it took the name of Kadosh, as indicating its claim to be the successor of that Order.
There is no real foundation, indeed, for the pretence that the Templars ever connected themselves with Freemasonry, which itself had no existence until, at the earliest, the. latter part of the 17th century. The Modern Orders called Templar, in France, Great Britain, and America, have not the least claim to be considered the successors or continuations of the ancient Order. And the Kadosh was, at first, probably a Hermetic Degree.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient mysteries, exploring their connections to the origins of Freemasonry and its symbolism. The author embarks on a journey through the works of ancient philosophers, including Plutarch, Pythagoras, and Iamblichus, drawing upon their writings to uncover the hidden meanings behind ancient rituals and symbols. The book examines the ancient Egyptian myth of Isis and Osiris, revealing how it mirrors the core principles of Freemasonry, particularly the themes of initiation, regeneration, and the pursuit of wisdom. The book argues that, while the details of the myths and rituals may have changed over time, the core message remains consistent: a quest for divine knowledge, moral purity, and the immortality of the soul. This journey through ancient mysteries offers a unique and insightful perspective on the history and philosophy behind Freemasonry, inviting readers to explore the rich and complex legacy of these enduring traditions.
