Author Description

What is freemasonry? What are the differences between American and European freemasonry? Is there a link between freemasonry and what is known as the Ageless Wisdom or Primordial Tradition? Can comparative religion studies help us better understand masonic symbols and rituals?Here are but few of the questions asked in this book, which is written from both a European and American perspectives. Fred Evrard believes in a spiritual and esoteric masonry with roots much older than 1717 and a purpose that is still relevant today. Starting with the author's 4-year initiatic trip around the world, "from the Square to the Compass" brings us back to the origins and mission of freemasonry, and eventually, to ourselves. Fred Evrard is a 32° Scottish Rite mason, international speaker, professional martial arts instructor and entrepreneur. After more than 20 years of research, a 4-year-trip around the world for further studies in spirituality, esotericism, martial arts and natural medicines, Fred now teaches all over the world and regularly visits masonic lodges in America, Europe and Asia.
