Publisher's Synopsis
""Masonic Symbolism Of The Two Pillars"" by Charles Clyde Hunt is a comprehensive exploration of the symbolic significance of the two pillars that are central to Masonic tradition. The book delves into the historical and philosophical roots of the pillars, tracing their origins to ancient Near Eastern cultures and their subsequent development in the Western esoteric tradition. Hunt examines the symbolism of the pillars in various contexts, including their representation of the duality of the universe, the balance between opposing forces, and the gateway to higher knowledge. He also explores the role of the pillars in Masonic ritual and the symbolic meanings associated with their placement in Masonic lodges. Throughout the book, Hunt draws on a wealth of primary sources, including ancient texts, medieval manuscripts, and Masonic literature, to provide a detailed and insightful analysis of the symbolism of the two pillars. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and symbolism of Masonic tradition, as well as for those seeking a deeper understanding of the esoteric principles that underlie it.""THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Masonic Symbolism, by Charles Clyde Hunt.
