Pyramid Poems Of Masons: Symbols And Tools Of The Craft

The Pyramid Poems of Masons is a new approach to understanding ancient Masonic degree rituals and their spiritual journeys.

This book can be enjoyed and appreciated by both knowledgeable Masons and curious non-Masons. Essential passages are selected from Freemasonry's York Rite rituals and re-crafted into Masonic-Haiku verses. The lines of these verses are composed of syllables in the meaningful numbers of one, three, five, seven, and nine, thus creating written pyramids. Each pyramid verse contains wisdom of its own. But when combined sequentially with other pyramid verses, the progressive storyline of Masonic York Rite from the Entered Apprentice degree to the ultimate Holy Royal Arch is revealed.

Notable Masonic scholars have come to understand from their studies of ancient mystics and philosophers that the Holy Royal Arch is the greatest and most meaningful degree in Masonry: the exalted ending of a physical and spiritual journey from ordinary man to something more enlightened, more perfect, more divine. The Pyramid Poems of Masons guides the way. It can be read at one sitting, slowly for greater insights, and returned to again and again to reexperience its revelations.
