A Magnum Opus August 23, 2007
This compendium is probably one of the most complete one is likely to come across and was the magnum opus of Arthur Waite. It can be rather arcane in its explanations, but it is not meant to be light reading, but rather a definitive work. In this Waite certainly succeeds.

Freemasonry's Alpha and Omega Resource Book August 3, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
A New Encyclopedia Of Freemasonry may just be the best pure resource work on the subject today. This is not your typical Freemasonic expose where someone sells-out the fraternity. Come here looking for handshakes, passwords, rituals and secrets, hoping to catch Freemasons at play, and you'll be bitterly disappointed. This is not the cheap seats, so don't expect any home-run balls to come soaring in.
Besides, this is no easy read by no means. This work is clearly written for scholars and veterans of the craft, with a charitable appeal to beginning Freemasons truly aspiring to learn as much as they can, so it is, therefore, an invaluable resource tool for both constituencies; but I nevertheless recommend it too, for sincerely curious outsiders. There is something here of interest for everyone's level, even though the book is not for everyone.
This is Freemasonry from A to Z, and everything allegedly associated with it directly or indirectly--from A to Z. It is an extremely comprehensive layout of Freemasonry, Secret societies, and Religious doctrine. And whether or not all three of these subjects should be grouped in this one tome or any tome, for that matter, I cannot say (and surely wouldn't if I could). But then, when you speak of Freemasonry, and you know what you're talking about....oh so many subjects come to mind--depending on who you're talking to.
A must have for a Freemason June 27, 2006

This is a must have for any freemason. This is a comprehensible reference of almost all masonic and related definitions. It is extremely helpful to have it handy when reading masonic articles.
