Publisher's Synopsis
The twenty-nine degrees contained in Scottish Rite offer the answers to many of life's questions and responsibilities, but rely heavily on the use of allegory, historical events and symbolism. This book explores the deeper philosophical highlights of each degree in a format that's easy to read. Ever wonder about the purpose for the pyramids in Egypt, the reason there are twelve celestial signs in the zodiac, or, the Masonic significance of objects in the night sky? Learn the answers to these questions and much more. This book was written for anyone interested in the Scottish Rite degrees, their development and intensive symbolism. You'll learn from both the actual degrees themselves, and, the writings of the iconic Albert Pike (and other leading Masonic scholars) in a compact style written for modern audiences.
