| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Symbolism of Freemasonry Albert G. Mackey,, 2015-09-15 Freemasonry is a science of symbols, in which, by their proper study, a search is instituted after truth, that truth consisting in the knowledge of the divine and human nature of God and the human Soul. -Albert G. Mackey Freemasonry is a science. The great principles it unfolds are beautifully clothed in allegories and symbols, and the true student of its sublime doctrines, who will submit to their influences, cannot miss a noble life. Few, however, comparatively, of the fraternity, deeply investigate the internal character of Masonry. They are content with a slight knowledge of the more routine of labor - the beautiful ceremonial of a virtuous craftsman - and pause not to read the sublime truths deeply hidden beneath the drapery of rites and ceremonies. They are content to know that the science they profess teaches the great doctrines of the unity of God and the immortality of the soul, but have little appreciation of the exquisitely beautiful and graduated links in the chain of evidence and demonstration. The book before us is invaluable as a guide and teacher. It unlocks the deep recesses of Masonic mystery, and ably simplifies it's most difficult and obscure symbols. It contains thirty one chapters, and a very elaborate synoptical index, which greatly enhances the utility and value of the work. While every chapter furnishes evidence of great research and ability, that on the 'symbolism of labor' we consider the gem of the book. It is a beautiful production, and reflects honor upon the writer. The book, of course, commends itself to the brotherhood, but we have no hesitation in recommending it to every household, and to every young man in the land. It is a gallery of ancient pictures whose excellencies grow upon the student with every moment devoted to them. -The XIX Century, Volume 1, 1869 Contents.

| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Principles of Masonic Law Albert Gallatin Mackey, 2022-11-13 The Principles of Masonic Law is a treatise on the constitutional laws, usages and landmarks of Freemasonry. The book is very informative and thorough, and it treats a wide range of topics in Masonic jurisprudence, providing a good insight to the overall governance of freemasonry. Freemasonry consists of fraternal organizations that trace their origins to the local fraternities of stonemasons that from the end of the fourteenth century regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. The basic, local organizational unit of Freemasonry is the Lodge. These private Lodges are usually supervised at the regional level by a Grand Lodge or Grand Orient. The degrees of Freemasonry retain the three grades of medieval craft guilds, those of Apprentice, Journeyman or Fellow Craft, and Master Mason. |

| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Symbolism of Freemasonry Albert G. Mackey, 2013-10-24 Of the various modes of communicating instruction to the uninformed, the masonic student is particularly interested in two; namely, the instruction by legends and that by symbols. It is to these two, almost exclusively, that he is indebted for all that he knows, and for all that he can know, of the philosophic system which is taught in the institution. All its mysteries and its dogmas, which constitute its philosophy, are intrusted for communication to the neophyte, sometimes to one, sometimes to the other of these two methods of instruction, and sometimes to both of them combined. The Freemason has no way of reaching any of the esoteric teachings of the Order except through the medium of a legend or a symbol. Contents: Preface. I. Preliminary. II. The Noachidæ. III.

| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Meaning Of Masonry (Annotated Edition) W. L. Wilmshurst, 2013-10-17 This most interesting and illuminative work is worthy a place on every Mason's bookshelf. '' It seems taken for granted, says the author, that reception into the Order will automatically be accompanied by an ability to appreciate forthwith and at its full value all that one there finds. The contrary is the case, for Masonry is a veiled and cryptic expression of the difficult science of spiritual life, and the understanding of it calls for special and informed guidance on the one hand, and on the other a genuine and earnest desire for knowledge and no small capacity for spiritual perception on the part of those seeking to be instructed. In Freemasonry, as in all phases of life, many are called but few are chosen. Masonry is not a mere formalism but a life to be lived. If you do not live the life you cannot know the doctrine. Masonry is an effort to perpetuate the essential doctrines of the Ancient Mysteries, but, alas, it does so in a very perfunctory manner. So veiled are its allegories and symbols that it is almost impossible to penetrate into the Holy of Holies. |

| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Symbolism of Freemasonry Albert G. Mackey, 2021-01-28 As a contributor to the literature and science of Freemasonry, Albert Gallatin Mackey was rightly considered one of the greatest American Masonic historian. His works have been more extensive than those of any other in America or in Europe. He was widely respected by the Masonic world for his ripe scholarship, his profound knowledge of Masonic law and usage, his view of Masonic philosophy and for his invaluable, literary labourist in the service of the Order. Mackey's book on the topic deserves to be read since it is still used in most courses that discuss Freemasonry and still attracts contemporary spiritual seekers. In this work, he focuses, inter alia, on the primitive Freemasonry of antiquity, the system of symbolic instruction, the ritualistic symbolism and the legends of Freemasonry. This edition contains a synoptical index and complete footnotes (>210). Excerpt: Of the various modes of communicating instruction to the uninformed, the masonic student is particularly interested in two; namely, the instruction by legends and that by symbols. It is to these two, almost exclusively, that he is indebted for all that he knows, and for all that he can know, of the philosophic system which is taught in the institution. All its mysteries and its dogmas, which constitute its philosophy, are intrusted for communication to the neophyte, sometimes to one, sometimes to the other of these two methods of instruction, and sometimes to both of them combined. The Freemason has no way of reaching any of the esoteric teachings of the Order except through the medium of a legend or a symbol. A legend differs from an historical narrative only in this-that it is without documentary evidence of authenticity. It is the offspring solely of tradition. Its details may be true in part or in whole. There may be no internal evidence to the contrary, or there may be internal evidence that they are altogether false. But neither the possibility of truth in the one case, nor the certainty of falsehood in the other, can remove the traditional narrative from the class of legends. It is a legend simply because it rests on no written foundation. It is oral, and therefore legendary. |

| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Symbolism of Freemasonry (1882). By: Albert Mackey Albert Mackey, 2018-04-27 Albert Gallatin Mackey (March 12, 1807 - June 20, 1881) was an American medical doctor and author. He is best known for his writing many books and articles about freemasonry, particularly the Masonic Landmarks. Biography: Grave of Albert Mackey at Glenwood Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Albert Gallatin Mackey was born in Charleston, South Carolina, the son of John Mackey (1765 - December 14, 1831), a physician, journalist and educator, and his wife. His father published The American Teacher's Assistant and Self-Instructor's Guide, containing all the Rules of Arithmetic properly Explained, etc. (Charleston, 1826), the most comprehensive work on arithmetic that had been published in the United States.His brother was Edmund William McGregor Mackey, later a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from South Carolina. After completing his early education, Albert Mackey taught school for some time to earn money for medical school. He graduated from the medical department of the College of South Carolina in 1832. He settled in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1838 he was appointed demonstrator of anatomy in that institution. In 1844 he abandoned the practice of medicine. For the rest of his life, he wrote on a variety of subjects, but specialized in the study of several languages, the Middle Ages, and Freemasonry. After being connected with several Charleston journals, he established in 1849 The Southern and Western Masonic Miscellany, a weekly magazine. He maintained it for three years, mostly by his own expense. He conducted a Quarterly 1858-1860 which he devoted to the same interests. He acquired the Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and continental languages almost unaided, and lectured frequently on the intellectual and moral development of the Middle Ages. Subsequently, he turned his attention exclusively to the investigation of abstruse symbolism, and to cabalistic and Talmudic researches. He served as Grand Lecturer and Grand Secretary of The Grand Lodge of South Carolina, as well as Secretary General of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States. Mackey was a Union sympathizer during the Civil War and in July, 1865, President Andrew Johnson appointed him Collector of the Port of Charleston. He ran for the United States Senate in South Carolina in 1868, but was narrowly defeated by Republican Frederick A. Sawyer. Mackey moved to Washington, D.C. in 1870. He died in Fortress Monroe, Virginia in 1881.... |
| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Symbolism of Solomon's Temple Albert Mackey, 2018-10-26 I have said that the operative art is symbolized--that is to say, used as a symbol--in the speculative science. Let us now inquire, as the subject of the present essay, how this is done in reference to a system of symbolism dependent for its construction on types and figures derived from the temple of Solomon, and which we hence call the Temple Symbolism of Freemasonry. |
| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: Born in Blood John J. Robinson, 1990-10-25 Its mysterious symbols and rituals had been used in secret for centuries before Freemasonry revealed itself in London in 1717. Once known, Freemasonry spread throughout the world and attracted kings, emperors, and statesmen to take its sacred oaths. But where had this powerful organization come from? Why was Freemasonry attacked with such intense hatred by the Roman Catholic church? Based on years of meticulous research, this detective story answers those questions and more, solving the last remaining mysteries of the Masons. |
| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Symbolism of Freemasonry Albert Mackey, 2015-12-14 To study the symbolism of Masonry is the only way to investigate its philosophy. This is the portal of its temple, through which alone we can gain access to the sacellum where its aporrheta are concealed. Its philosophy is engaged in the consideration of propositions relating to God and man, to the present and the future life. Its science is the symbolism by which these propositions are presented to the mind. The work now offered to the public is an effort to develop and explain this philosophy and science. It will show that there are in Freemasonry the germs of profound speculation. If it does not interest the learned, it may instruct the ignorant. If so, I shall not regret the labor and research that have been bestowed upon its composition. Albert G. Mackey, M.D. Charleston, S.C., Feb. 22, 1869 |

| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: Mystic Masonry Robert Lund, 2018-02-04 There are reasons why every symbol and every allegory in Freemasonry should be deemed important to a Mason. Knowledge can be preserved in symbols and, often, those that preserve them can be ignorant of what they preserve. For those who continue to search for the deeper meaning behind Masonic symbols, consider yourself more enlightened than those who do not seem to understand the words veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. The Craft's symbolism is a system of great depth, and only appears simplistic to those who view it superficially. However, when we research industriously, the true light of Freemasonry will unfold. This book brings to light some of the deeper meaning behind Masonic symbols. |
| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Masonic Myth Jay Kinney, 2009-09-04 The Truth Revealed Freemasons have been connected to the all-seeing eye on the dollar bill, the French Revolution, the Knights Templar, and the pyramids of Egypt. They have been rumored to be everything from a cabal of elite power brokers ruling the world to a covert network of occultists and pagans intent on creating a new world order, to a millennia-old brotherhood perpetuating ancient wisdom through esoteric teachings. Their secret symbols, rituals, and organization have remained shrouded for centuries and spawned theory after theory. The Masonic Myth sets the record straight about the Freemasons and reveals a truth that is far more compelling than the myths. |
| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: The Craft John Dickie, 2020-08-04 'Convincingly researched and thoroughly entertaining' - Wall Street Journal THE TIMES BEST BOOKS OF 2020 'This book shows that, despite rumours of demon dwarfs, piano-playing crocodiles and world domination, the real story of the Freemasons is one of male eccentricity.' 'The Craft is a superb book that often reads like an adventure novel. It's informative, fascinating and often very funny. The depth of research is awe-inspiring, but what really makes this book is the author's visceral understanding of what constitutes a good story.' - The Times Book of the Week '[John Dickie] takes on this sensational subject with a wry turn of phrase and the cool judgment of a fine historian... I enjoyed this book enormously. Dickie's gaze is both wide and penetrating. He makes a persuasive case for masonry's historic importance.' - Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times 'The Craft is a shadow history of modernity. Though more sober than most lodge meetings, it is, like its subject, ingenious and frequently bizarre... The Craft is well-crafted and sensible, making good use of English archives which have only recently been opened.' - Spectator *** Insiders call it 'the Craft'. To the rest of us, Freemasonry is mysterious and suspect. Yet its story is peopled by some of the most distinguished men of the last three centuries: Winston Churchill and Walt Disney; Wolfgang Mozart and Shaquille O'Neal; Benjamin Franklin and Buzz Aldrin; Rudyard Kipling and 'Buffalo Bill' Cody; Duke Ellington and the Duke of Wellington. Founded in London in 1717 as a set of character-forming ideals and a way of binding men in fellowship, Freemasonry proved so addictive that within two decades it had spread across the globe. Masonic influence became pervasive. Under George Washington, the Craft became a creed for the new American nation. Masonic networks held the British empire together. Under Napoleon, the Craft became a tool of authoritarianism and then a cover for revolutionary conspiracy. Both the Mormon Church and the Sicilian mafia owe their origins to Freemasonry. The Masons were as feared as they were influential. In the eyes of the Catholic Church, Freemasonry has always been a den of devil-worshippers. For Hitler, Mussolini and Franco the Lodges spread the diseases of pacifism, socialism and Jewish influence, so had to be crushed. Professor Dickie's The Craft is a surprising and enthralling exploration of a movement that not only helped to forge modern society, but still has substantial contemporary influence. With 400,000 members in Britain, over a million in the USA, and around six million across the world, understanding the role of Freemasonry is as important now as it has ever been. |

| albert g mackey the symbolism of freemasonry: Manual of the Lodge Albert Gallatin Mackey, 2023-12-18 Albert Gallatin Mackey's Manual of the Lodge serves as a comprehensive guide to the rituals, principles, and structure of Masonic lodges, embodying an authoritative synthesis of Masonic philosophy and practice. Written with clarity and precision, Mackey employs a didactic style that allows readers'Äîinitiate and experienced alike'Äîto appreciate the complexities and subtleties of Masonic traditions.

Mackey, an eminent Freemason and scholar, was deeply immersed in Masonic literature and history, which informed his writing. His extensive background as a practicing Freemason and historian provided unique insights into the rituals and philosophies that guide the fraternity.
