"The genuine secrets were to be found in a secret subterranean vaulted chamber, or crypt, in King Solomons Temple. These consisted of certain things which had been preserved there, and the reason why we refer to "The bosom of the Holy Mount Moriah" In connection with the first or Holy Lodge. This mysterious vault belonged to the earliest days of the conquest of Canaan and the days of Moses when god first consecrated the spot."
This is a VERY fascinating, mystical, and incredible book that contains an in-depth history of the masons and a lot more... With passages on the holiest ancient one, The text of the hidden mystery, Heaven, Astrology, Mysticism, the transmigration of the soul through Reincarnation, and so much more that I cannot explain adequately. The history of this book dates back to the BC era and even includes sections discussing the creator and esoteric wisdom. A very hard to find printing in any condition, especially one as fine as this. An exceptionally scarce, powerful, and magical book.
"Which matters are not even revealed to the highest of angels."
Francisco de Paula Castells Cañas is the main Masonic author on the subject of the Holy Royal Arch of Jerusalem, which is considered to be the completion of "pure ancient Masonry."
The overall condition of this book is very good despite being printed well over 90 years ago. The front cover is very clean, and the text is crisp and well-kept. The rear cover is also very lovely, with some light shelf wear. The spine has some age and rubbing. The interior pages are excellent, with only natural age toning to be noted. It is a 93-year-old edition. Thus, it's not a new book but has been well preserved for its age despite some light wear for a book of this age.
