Publisher's Synopsis
""Masonic Grades Antecedent To The Symbolic Time Of The Craft Degrees"" is a book written by Arthur Edward Waite, a prominent figure in the world of Freemasonry. The book explores the history and evolution of various Masonic grades that existed before the development of the Craft degrees. These grades, also known as the Antient and Primitive Rites, were practiced by Masonic lodges in the 18th century and earlier. Waite examines the rituals, symbolism, and teachings of these grades, which include the Royal Arch, Knights Templar, and Rose Croix. He also delves into the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings of these grades, as well as their relationship to the Craft degrees. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and esoteric traditions of Freemasonry.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Secret Tradition in Freemasonry Part 1, by Arthur Edward Waite.
