Brother from South Carolina, agree with the list. My only add would be Manly P Hall's Lost keys to Freemasonry.

Thank you for this video!

Esoterika is an amazing book! It seems to fly under most Masons radar, but is a must read.

I'm reading “Born In Blood” right now. 14:01 I'm enjoying it so far. I'll have to pick up the other four. Thanks, brother.

i'm actually starting my journey and as a matter of fact I was kind of anxious about what to read besides the kybalion even though it had me a long time looking at myself in retrospective. Thank you very much for the list!.

Thank you for guiding me out the Darkness with your suggestions 👌 Very enthusiastic about becoming a brother in the Eastbourne lodge UK 🇬🇧

I'm not a Mason, but i listened Morals and dogma audio book, it is masterpiece. And lessons from Manley P. Hall are so profound. I need to understand more about society. Probably join, since all i saw and read from masons was honourable.

This is a great list! The only one I would add for a new Mason is the Builders by Joseph Fort Newton.

Wish I can visit the libray being a Francmasons this is very important materials.

Thank you for some good information on our books to read

Morals and dogma is readily available in audiobook on KZfaq for free, gets interesting after 17 degree lecture were philosophy comes in.

I do believe😂in being back in the same places they entrapped me and my emotional body.

Observing the craft by Andrew hammer

"The number of books someone read isn't more important than his works and the products of his actions" - I got disturbed by this Idea being associated to the freemasonry. I don't remember where did I read something that related to them this idea, but I believe that stay thinking is more important than acting with no certainty and enough conviction. High level philosophy and complete preparation first.

I love Old Tiler Talks

Thank you. Grateful

Hi. Very enlightenig boooks. Though, I would like to add the book from Wolfgang Scherpe " Das Unbekannte im Ritual". Greetings, Dominik Mauer.

Giving thanks for the foundation

I love your program it’s fun

Thank you for your video. I believe a Mason is born before joining or even regardless of joining the fellowship of Freemasonry. I am from South Africa and have not joined but am eager to join those whose values and perspective seem to echo mine to a remarkable degree. I have read many books on the topic and continue to enjoy them and since my youth defended Freemasonry against critics, because of the voice from my heart. Thanks for the recommendations and I hope to join the fellowship one day.

I love being a mason.

Thanks a lot for the info.

Very interesting video and thank you

1.Observing the Craft by Andrew Hammer 2. Measured Expectations by Michael Poll 3. North American Freemasonry Idealism and Realism by Thomas Jackson 4. The Masons Words by Robert Davis 5. The Journey of the Elu to Enlightenment by Robert Davis are a few works I would suggest.

More Light Please

My personal favorite is “Studies in Freemasonry and the Compagnonnage” by Rene Guenon. I strongly suggest giving it a read.

Thank you.

Great news

The Allen Robert's book can be purchased most of the time from McCoy's Publishing. My favorite book I recommend is "Coils Masonic Encylopedia, 1st edition".

I was wondering what literature to check out not bad at all

It may be controversial in some circles, but personally I’m a fan of Brother DuQuette’s The Key to Solomon’s Key ☺️

Greetings from Progress Lodge #22, Utah. Excellent list, really interested in Albert Pike's Esoterica, it's now on my list.

A Pilgrim's Path is a good book.

I have the Idiot's guide to Freemasonry by S Brent Morris and The Scottish Rite Monitor with Art DeHoyas and I read a lil of Born in Blood my daughter got it from a library lol.

Thank you for making this video. Currently seeking more information out of Las Vegas nevada

Aloha from Hawaiian Lodge! Great list. Esoterika is definitely a crunchy deep dive into the blue lodge but worth the delving into. My top 5 in no particular order. Contemplative Masonry( a great read and provides practices for spiritual and mental growth). The Builders (my goto historical timeline for the foundations of our craft). Short Talks on Masonry ( I recommend the audiobook, I would call this “Esoterika lite”, an accessible commentary on the blue lodge and what it means to be a mason). The Secret Teachings of all Ages( A catalogue of thought and philosophy that may peak your interest into the adjacent disciplines). Solomon’s Memory Palace( A aid to memory through an Masonic lens. This book has been invaluable to me as an aid for memorizing my proficiencies) Mahalo

Great video Brother!

The Alchemical Keys to Masonic Ritual ByTimothy Hogan is a good read

I am a beginner in the esoterics i have read the kyballion, and am about half way through the secret teachings of all ages, and am waiting for morals and dogma in the Mail what else would you suggest??

Greetings Brothers I'm John from Ascendus Lodge Lynn, Ma and 32* Scottish Rite Mason out of the Valley of Boston. I recommend Freemasonry and its Hidden Meaning by George Steinmetz.

I use to have a large collection of esoteric / occult books and sold off a bunch over the years. I wish I had kept some of the Freemason related books now that I am a Mason. I thought I would add to the list "The Secret Teachings of all ages" by Manly P. Hall. That is one I still own.1977 edition hard copy.

The meaning of masonry by Walter wilmshurst. This should be required reading...

Good day Brother, what is that white Knights Templar book behind you?

1.Coils Encylopedia

I love to add some of these to my personal library

Thanks for the info.

Thank you

June 11th, 2022. Lafayette, Colo. Merci beaucoup. That was great. So, Have most of these in my library. Have Esoterica, and Annotated version of M. and D. on small shelf by my bed. So, My one thought is. If you wanted, you could extend this list to famous authors, who were F.M. , particularly those of the 19th century. For example....Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle and Mark Twain. Thank you again, for the selections. Right on. (bro. julian. Laf. #91).

I would also recommend Behold a Pale Horse.

McCoy's has The Craft and its Symbols for 16.95

I had 2 copies of Pikes Morals and Dogma available to me from the time I was 11 years old. I still have problems getting my head around the writing style. The newest one was from 1955 when my father took the degrees in Wichita,Kansas. The older one is from 1912 when my maternal Grandfather took the degrees in Winona, Wisconsin. The local valley of McAlester usually has a book table and I will look for a couple of these titles at our fall reunion.

Your choices are good ones.💯

Good picks!

The Lost Art of Resurrection by Freddy Silva Building Hiram vol 1 by Johnathan Nagy

Beautiful library what a privilege.

Hello I am looking for reference documents relating to the Regius Poem 1. is it a separate manuscript is it the Cooke manuscript or one and the same please? 2. Also I saw on this video that some Masonic Scholars date its subject back to 949 AD. Do you know who these scholars might have been where could I find the reference documents if this is the case?

لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله Only this is the right path who will follow he will get success in life and also in afterlife Allah pak give bless you

2:26 EA here, i got a copy off amazon for about 20 bucks. I was a great read, though my mentor told me to hol off reading past EA in my other books. Ill consider myself lucky for getting my hands on it.

Found the first book on ebay for 20.00.

Just finished Born and Blood and I must say I completely slept on this book! Definitely one of my favorites now and highly recommended! - Bro. J.A. - Monte Moria Lodge #52, Grand Lodge of the Dominican Republic

Is there a open mystical element to the group? I have questions that I’d like to ask but idk how or if it’s relevant to them.

Symbolism in Craft Freemasonry by Colin Dyer The Path of Freemasonry by Mark Stavish The Secret Teachings of all Ages by Manly P. Hall

Where can i get these books? Im going for info meeting and reading and want to join. 🙂

Nice video! I'm curious what the oldest book is in the library? Thank you

The Craft and its Symbols was one of the first books that I purchased. Good read. I'd like to recommend a few books, but I may be brought up on charges for doing so. If The Craft is not in your heart, you won't find or understand my selections anyway. Travel Light. Just found your channel Brother. Keep up The Good Works.

Hello. I'm from Brazil. I would like suggest the book "The Hiram Key", by Robert Lomas. For me this book is perfect to understand the masonic order, and his relation with the historic moments. It is a great reading. I recommend a lot.

I know this is off topic, but was wondering if you could make a video describing the difference between York rite first three degrees and the Scottish rite first three degrees

Albert pike morals and dogma is on Abebooks for $20, $14 for used copy.

Dad said all I need was my Kentucky monitor, look to the east, and Duncan’s ritual.

Is it true that moving through the degrees requires a lot of memorization that you are required to recite?

Can you make a video specifically for those who are looking for a longer list of those higher-priced books?

Not sure if this was said below or elsewhere, but "The Craft and its Symbols" is readily available on Amazon now, for about $20. I started reading it by the beach on vacation this year, but had to stop because I ran out of flags to mark informative passages. :)

Only read morals & dogma and freemasonry for dummies, from the list. Manly P. Hall’s secret teachings of all ages is a great read. How would you rank the chemical wedding? Is that book even Masonic or just esoteric?

Dante Michelangelo Fedeli d'amore, devo continuare?

I am not a Freemason (I’ve never been asked to join, I wouldn’t know where to begin in joining, and from what I understand of the caveats for joining- I am disqualified)…. But I am an ARTIST. Artists, very famously, utilize Freemasonic imagery, symbols and themes (from the Ancients, to Mozart, to today) and from an outsiders perspective- I would add to the list of works anything where it’s creator pays tribute to the FM’s. I’ve read many books of the history and rites of FM’ry and they all are useful in picking out words, phrases and imagery- for finding the familiar. In my humble opinion, reading any book/poem/etc that is using the familiar (and typically makes it known pretty early in the read) is the best way to pick up on how the individual artist can encode the same information in creative ways- helping to contextualize the reading of “official” FM text. If you’re fascinated by FM’ry, appreciate its integral stamp in the arts, but either get lost/overwhelmed by the cryptic laws and history and speeches to memorize and use of olde English, and don’t yet understand the usefulness a trestle board serves for these things, make use of the art created for FM’ic sake. That’s all.

The newer morals and dogmas is missing parts that are in my 40s version.

Another very good book is The Red Triangle: A History of Anti-Masonry - Hardcover By Cooper, Robert....

Hey folks. I’d like to know more about Masonry. My faith (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) is 100% ok with me becoming a Mason. Of course I have heard the conspiracy stuff, which I largely attribute to Washington D.C. 33rd degree folks, and probably only some of those folks as well. But just like everyone else, I can only go off of what I have heard, rather than personal experiences, etc. So where is a good place to get started? What is Masonry really all about? Is it about magick, symbols, energies, the psyche, morals, the temple of Solomon, the human potential, the mysteries of the universe, all/any of these, or is it still something else? Why have so many U.S. presidents, including the founder of my church, Joseph Smith, been Masons? What is it about being a Mason that can make life more meaningful, etc.? I am very much speaking in earnest. A good number of folks out there have thought poorly of my church because of certain connections with Masonry. I would like to understand those connections better, and yeah, just get into it more, I suppose…

Where is the list??

I am not a mason/... but want to know abt it and have been so attracted to it and want so much to b a mason... Is there a lodge in Kenya?

As a headphone user, I beg you to pot down your intro! If you can keep the audio level roughly the same as your content, it would be greatly appreciated.

My name is Scottish but I am ethnically Honduran and Black American. Does that qualify me for Scottish Rite Masonry?

And I thought my whole life it's a secret. And now I see there are 250k books about it. WHAT??😮

Rex R. Hutchens - Bridge to Light is a great book as well. /G\

Is it true that only wealthy people or people of influence can become Freemasons, or is it possible for regular folks to be invited in to learn these ancient traditions and knowledge?

hold up, so i can finally have access yo these secrets?

Hey you told a fib! The Masonic Bible isn't JUST a bible, it has a recreation of the temple in the front!

I am a Master Mason in Tennessee with interest in joining the Scottish Rite. My Masonic library right now consists of 2 copies of Morals and Dogma, The Meaning of Masonry - W.L. Wilmshurst, and Solomon's Builders by Christopher Hodapp.

hello everyone, how do i become or join a lodge?

I need to join How much to join

👍from a conspiracy lunatic

How do I join?

Well hello brothers 🤝🌎❤️

Do I have to be a freemason to get some of these books?

I read Pikes M&D 5 times Before I joined the Lodge... wish others did

Kibalion

I really want to become a member but I want to talk to someone about it and see if I can make my self a better person with the help of the brotherhood and be able to help others with the wisdom

The freemasons were started in Kilwinning 0 Scotland in 1400 first recorded lodge but Masons were building the Abbey for a least 200 years prior to this.the remnants of the knights templar made their way to Kilwinning Abbey and Portugal 🇵🇹 All Scottish freemasons know about the templar degree. The remnants of the jacobites ended up in France 🇫🇷 taking with them freemasons or the Scottish rite which formed that type of freemasons in USA 🇺🇸 . The part played by the Scottish rite freeing and founding the country is incalculable. The European 🇪🇺 peoples who played a part in the start of the USA 🇺🇸 are too numerous to mention France 🇫🇷 alone guaranteed the new country with the statue of liberty and the Scottish rite and of course 33 out of 45 presidents can trace their roots to Scotland We lost our monarchy in Scotland. But very proud the rite our ancestors gave you is freemasonry world 🌎 wide. Alba gu brath
