Freemasonry, Symbol, and Transmission in the Modern World
Julian Beaujardin 30 chapters 333 pages EN · ES Audiobook · 8 h 12 min
Freemasonry still guards its symbols. What is scarce are men able to receive them. An essay written from within on the crisis of language and the crisis of initiation (one crisis, not two) and on the road back: through the Trivium, across the frontier between psyche and spirit, and into the temple read entire.
The opening pages and the first chapter are free to read here. The rest of the book is in print, as an ebook and as an audiobook. With a free account you can read the first two chapters.
