Each of the five books was copied from rituals belonging to Giles F. Yates, 33, a member of both the Northern and Southern Supreme Councils, who had most, if not all, of the manuscript rituals of Mr. Frederick Dalcho, one of the founders of the first Supreme Council. At one point the original Dalcho manuscripts were lost or sold, and when the collection was rediscovered in 1938, it had several rituals missing. Our collection, however, is complete, from the 4-33. Most of the rituals are dated 1801 and 1802, which we believe indicates they are copies of the Dalcho versions, although we have not had the opportunity to compare them with the originals in the archives of the Northern Jurisdiction. For some unknown reason, however, each is designated as belonging to either the "first series" or "second series," while some rituals have apparently been switched around in numerical order. For example, one ritual is labeled the "30th, 31st and 32nd Degree of the First Series (1802)...now 32nd, called Sovereign, or Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret;" although it seems to have become the 32 only after a "31 Tribunal of Grand Inquiring Commander" ritual appeared (dated 1804). Another revision is the "29 Grand Master Ecose...Knight of St. Andrew." Following the degree is the outline of an apparent 1806 revision which radically departs from the earlier form, yet is similar to that found in Albert Pike's Magnum Opus (1857). Did Pike have this 1806 ritual? Possibly, yet, we know from Pike's writings that he didn't have all these rituals. Pike's revisions were done without the benefit of reading the original rituals contained in this set. One of the most interesting rituals is the "33 Sovereign Grand Inspector General." Not only is it the earliest form of this degree, but it includes a copy of a "Letter of Credence" (our modern "Patent") and an early version of the Constitutions, Statutes and Regulations. For all who have wondered what the original Scottish Rite rituals were like, this set, and only this set may answer the question. The rituals in this set are not the same as the Francken MS. These is the only set of its kind. If you want authentic information on the Scottish Rite, this book will become your prime set of source documents. 446 pages, ISBN 1-56459-999-X, $75.00 ANONYMOUS, Ritual and Illustrations of Freemasonry Accompanied by Numerous Engravings and a Key to the Phi Beta Kappa, Contained herein are all of Freemasonry's Blue Lodge and York Rite Degrees with numerous illustrations! Scarce! 288 pages, ISBN 0-7661-0108-8, $19.95 ANONYMOUS, Ritual of Pennsylvania "Ancient York Masonry", Concerning the Pennsylvania ritual, Albert G. Mackey wrote, "The method of Entering, Passing, and raising candidates in the Lodges of Pennsylvania differs so materially from that practiced in the other States of the Union, that it cannot be considered as a part of the American Rite as first taught by Webb, but rather as an independent, Pennsylvania modification of the York Rite of England. Indeed, the Pennsylvania system of work much more resembles the English than the American. Its ritual is simple and didactic, like the former, and is almost entirely without the impressive dramatization of the latter." This fascinating book contains the complete ritual of the degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason, deciphered from a work dated 1880. Although modern Masonic historians claim that the current Pennsylvania ritual is the "Antients' work," it differs significantly from the ritual used 100 years ago, as revealed herein. For the first time ever, this old ritual makes available the most unusual ritual ever used in American Masonry. If you have never seen the Pennsylvania ritual, this book will give you insight concerning the nature of the Pennsylvania workings, as the editor compares the old and new rituals. Pennsylvania Masons will be amazed at the changes which have been made in their ritual in the last 100 years. 78 pages, ISBN 1-56459-985-X, $19.95 ANONYMOUS, Ritual of the Lady-Knights of Templars, Ceremonies, Degrees and Lectures of the Supreme Grand Council and Encampment of the Order of Lady-Knights of America and Canada. 24 pages, ISBN 0-7661-0477-X, $7.00 ANONYMOUS, Ritual of the Order of the Eastern Star (1914), Complete ritual including: Preface; Instructions; Opening; Closing; Initiation; Installations; Funeral Ceremony; Constitutional Provisions. 164 pages, ISBN 0-7661-0714-0, $16.95 ANONYMOUS, Ritual of the Original Rose of Seven Seals, This scarce book was originally prepared for Masonic sisters who passed the Eastern Star, Heroines of Jericho, Ladies of Knights, and Daughters of Sphinx degrees.

Waite's Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross which comments on its many Hermetic characteristics. 52 pages, ISBN 1-56459-363-0, $12.95 ANONYMOUS, Rituals of the Swedenborgian Rite of Masonry, "The Swedenborgian Rite was revived in the United States and Canada by Brother Samuel Beswick. It consists of three elaborate and beautiful ceremonies for which the Craft is required. A Supreme Grand Lodge and Temple for G[reat] B[ritain] & I[reland] was chartered by Brother Colonel W.J.B.

A Charter has recently been issued by this country for a body in Paris, and previously to Roumania and Egypt" John Yarker, `The Arcane Schools.' We learn from Liber LII, The Manifesto of the O.T.O.

A French archeologist had been sent into the Andes to probe the ruins. He had rented a room in a tiny village to use for the base of his operations. Once while he was away his room was rented to another overnight guest who happened to be a Jesuit official. On the Jesuit's departure he forgot a little book which he had hidden under the mattress. The archeologist accidentally found it. It was the Secret Instruction of the Society of Jesus, the top classified manual of procedure for the trusted leaders of the order. It was in Latin & bore the seal, signature & attestation of the General & Sec. of the Order in Rome. For the next few days the Frenchman labored furiously translating the work into French. He then replaced the book and left. The Jesuit returned a few days later inquiring nervously about his little black packet and also wanted to know if anyone had occupied the room since his departure. On learning of the archeologist he began a search so relentless that the Frenchman had to leave Peru. He finally reached San Francisco and entrusted his precious but dangerous burden to Edwin A. Sherman, Sec. of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in California. Mr. Sherman included the Secret Instructions in his book The Engineer Corps of Hell published in 1882. 44 pages, ISBN 1-56459-912-4, $9.95 ANONYMOUS, Secret Ritual of the Thirty-third and Last Degree Sovereign Grand Inspector General of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, This book includes the COMPLETE TEXTS of two versions of this most secret ritual: (1) a never-before-published c.1827 early American version and (2) the ritual used by most Supreme Councils world-wide.

Commenting on the accuracy of this book in his recent history of the Ancient and Accepted (Scottish) Rite, ROSE CROIX (1987), Brigadier A.C.F. Jackson noted, "About 1870, or possibly earlier, the Supreme Council issued each Chapter with a hand-written ritual.... THE TEXT BOOK OF ADVANCED FREEMASONRY, 1873, may have been plagiarized from the official manuscripts referred to above." The Rose Croix ritual in this book convinced A.E. Waite that high-grade Freemasonry is related to Rosicrucianism. Read this important book and find out why! This is a reprint of the rare 1873 (first) edition.

"Adoptive Masonry" was much more than just the forerunner of the Order of the Eastern Star (OES), its participants were actually considered Masons. These rituals are much different from those of the OES, and are the oldest form of these degrees known. John Yarker and Albert Pike later produced their own versions of these degrees, but here's a chance to see what they were like before being reworked. One of the degrees concerns a reenactment of the temptation in the Garden of Eden, and is believed by some to have influenced the Mormon temple ceremony, which includes a similar theme. 22 pages, ISBN 1-56459-990-6, $12.95 ANTROBUS, ROBERT, Square of Sevens: A Rare 18th Century Work of Genuine Gypsy Card Reading, Originally published about 1735, this scarce work (only a few copies of a later edition are known to survive) reveals an authentic Gypsy Card Reading System.

This is the single most important exposé of Freemasonry ever published on American soil. Long out of print and difficult to obtain, this book was a product of the "Morgan episode" and has since become one of the most sought after items by all students of Masonic ritual. Once dubbed "the Bible of the anti-Masons," it includes hundreds of pages of verbatim degree work copied from rare manuscripts which are unobtainable elsewhere. Henry W. Coil wrote in his Masonic Encyclopedia that this book gives the Scottish Rite rituals as they were worked before Albert Pike revised them, and indeed, some of its rituals are extremely similiar to those in the 1783 Francken Manuscript. Having studied both Pike's rituals and those included in this book, we believe that Pike used Light on Masonry to help in writing his "Magnum Opus" because the secret work in both books is too close to be mere coincidence.

Will or Desire is of the very essence of the Soul, inseparable from its existence. He says: `Where Desire is, there is also Essence or Being.' The Soul is subject to the diverse attractions of the Centre of Divine Life and Light, and of the Spirit of the World. Enlightened by its understanding it has the free power to turn its will towards, and unite itself to, this or that. `Choose well, thy choice is brief and yet endless.'" 180 pages, ISBN 1-56459-216-2, $17.95 BOEHME, JACOB, Epistles of Jacob Boehme, Very useful and necessary for those that read his writings, and are very full of excellent and plain Instructions how to attain to The Life of Christ. 228 pages, ISBN 1-56459-031-3, $17.95 BOEHME, JACOB, Forty Questions of the Soul, Sparrow, John.
