Reprints of Rituals of Old Degrees

Author: Albert Pike

Pike is best known for his classic Freemasonic work Morals and Dogma, but was responsible for a number of other important books. This one relates to the early development of the craft and its rituals. Pike was the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction, USA. This collection is virtually unknown today, but sheds light on the basis of Freemasonic degrees and rituals. Included are the Wigan Rituals, the Master Mark Mason Ritual, and the Maconnerie D’Yorke Rituals which include references to Joseph Cerneau, who had a competing version of the Scottish Rite. Includes the Knights Templar Ritual (the 1851 authorized revision, upon which the current one is based), and the Grand Maitre Ecossais degree, which puts forth the idea that the true secret of Freemasonry is the alchemical transmutation of the initiate. Also found here is an older version of the Royal Arch Exaltation Ceremony. This rare reprint should be of great value to Freemasonic Lodges, or for those interested in the origins and development of Freemasonry in general.
