    The Secret Teachings Of All Ages

    A lot of Masonic books are based on interpretation, even if you do not subscribe to esoteric or cabalistic ideology you miss out on some very interesting research. I've read many books that I feel the author is wrong, however for the most part they had some very interesting material.

    One-Day classes, What do YOU think?

    The candidates that get their C2A do not get as much information out of the degree as they would have if they would've took their time and went through it at a regular pace.

    Which finger do you wear your ring on and why?

    The direction of the ring is determined by whether you are showing others that you are a Mason or reminding yourself that you are one. My Freemasonry HD

    The Secret Teachings Of All Ages

    Manly P Hall was a scholar, well versed and at times pretty hard to follow. A prospective or newly made brother would probably not get as much from it as would a more senior Brother. My Freemasonry HD
