Curl, James Stevens. The Art and Architecture of Freemasonry: An Introductory Study. Overlook Press, 1993. 272p. Book News [1] said, “This fascinating study details the Masonic society’s influence on the modern American and European aesthetic world. Although Masonry dates from the Middle Ages, its influence in art and architecture reached its peak in the neoclassical architecture of the 18th century. Architectural history professor Curl (Leicester Polytechnic, England) also looks at the way Masonic ideas have permeated other art forms from literature to the performing arts. The 190 exceptional illustrations (including 11 color plates) are accompanied by detailed, informative captions, and a glossary of terms explains the complex ideas and iconography of Freemasonry.”
Dafoe, Stephen. Unholy Worship? The Myth of the Baphomet, Templar, Freemason Connection. Templar Books, 1998. 84p. Amazon.com description said, “The Knights Templar were a monastic fighting order formed in 1118 CE to protect pilgrims on route to the Holy Lands. In less than two centuries they grew to become the most feared and respected of the crusading orders. Powerful enough to answer only to the Pope, rich enough to finance kings, the Templars soon became the object of one man’s greed and jealousy. Envious of their power and wealth, King Philip IV sought to destroy the Templar Knights. In order to do this he would need to trump up charges of heresy, black magic and witchcraft. These accusations included the worshipping of a demonic idol called Baphomet. The Baphomet Mythos has survived for over six centuries and has been used as a symbol of Satanism as well as a tool of Fundamentalist Christian groups to attack the Masonic Fraternity. This book looks at the myth of these connections and seeks to set the record straight.” The estoric use of Baphomet is an excellent example of how anti-Masons have maligned by taking something small and distorting it out of this world, and thanks to Dafoe for his passion in bringing this to light. — ed.

Faggionato, Raffaela. A Rosicrucian Utopia in Eighteenth-Century Russia: The Masonic Circle of N. I. Novikov. Springer, 2005. 314p. A history of Russian Freemasonry, with her premise being that the Russian Enlightenment peculiar features including Freemasonry, the Novikov circle, the “programme” of Rosicrucianism, and the clash between Rosicrucianism and the state. She concludes that the defenders of the Ancien Régime were not wrong. In fact the democratic behavior, the critical attitude, the practice of participation, the freedom of thought, the tolerance for the diversity, the search for a direct communication with the divinity, in short all the attitudes and behaviors first practiced inside the 18th century lodges constituted a cultural experience which spread throughout the entire society. And so Novikov’s imprisonment in 1792 and the war against the Rosicrucian literature were attempts to thwart a culture and an independence of thought.

Recognizing that the symbolism and ritual employed by Masonry was for the most part both traditional and esoteric, he labored to discover, define, or create a Freemasonic initiation that would be compatible with Catholic Christianity, as it supposedly was when the Masonic guilds designed and built the great cathedrals of Europe.

Hall, Manly Palmer. He is not an authority on Freemasonry and more of a Universalist. He is one prime example of a man applying Freemasonry to his own personal faith, whatever that particular faith of Hall’s might be. Hall has done more mightily extraordinary research on the occult and secret religious rituals, more than anyone (it seems) in the history of humanity. He appears fixated upon the occult and mastery of everything religiously arcane, much like Robert Leroy Ripley became upon strange human oddities in his Ripley’s Believe or Not fame and franchises.[2] The following pertain to Freemasonry and a couple of his other works. It is regrettable that some Christian anti-Masons, mostly, have latched onto Hall without even noticing his obsession with the philosophy of the occult. — See www.preciousheart.net/freemasonry/Hall_Bib.htm for bibliography of 91 other works. — Alchemy, Comprehensive Bibliography of the Manly P.
