Author Description

Freemasonry is an initiatic, humanist and progressive fraternity, whose goal is the intellectual, moral and spiritual development of its members, having a positive impact on the community, the search for truth, the study of arts and sciences, and the exercise of beneficence. Based on a long esoteric tradition and the study of symbolism, its core beliefs are individual and collective work, freedom of thought and human solidarity. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity is one of its mottos.The Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry was born in France and fully developed in Charleston, South Carolina to eventually become the most practiced masonic rite in the world and one with the deepest esoteric teaching.In this book, Fred Evrard puts in the hand of the reader a synthesis of thousands of pages from 18th and 19th centuries authors that not many of us has the time to study nowadays. From strict history and legends to the pure Scottish Rite esoteric tradition, this work will enlighten many aspects of the higher degrees of Freemasonry for both, the masons and the profanes.
