The Secrets of Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike

Thank you.

Helped a bit in understanding the crap which is this antiquated, silly freemason group. But I was expecting to receive the original book, not a professor's take on it.

It was a gift for my son who is in Prison, He asked for it..I suppose he heard about it there.

The author falls short in his research: to begin with MORALS AND DOGMA and Pike's MAGNUM OPUS are two entirely different works, written at different times even though they both deal with the Degrees of the Scottish Rite. M&D is a compilation of lectures that Pike delivered orally to expand on the philosophical aspects of the Degrees, whereas his MAGNUM OPUS is closer to the proposed script used in the presentation of the Degrees in the Lodge setting. Both are worthwhile reading but can be challenging if you don't have or are unwilling to gain a background in philosophy, religion, mythology and history.It isn't something for everyone to sit down and enjoy. But then again, not everyone should become a Freemason.

ONE star is too many. Absolute joke of a "book". This is a pamphlet and a waste of time. 26 pages total. Save your money.

contains an attempt to explain just one simbol contained in Morals and Dogma. Not much helpful.

I would have given this a 0. This is NOT a book, but rather an article sized text. The margins are massive, fonts are big, and there are only 21 pages of text. It's a pamphlet. Buy if you want to spend 11$ Canadian on a pamphlet. I might just ask for a refund.

My only regret is that I had to give this one star, couldn't think of anything smaller.
