5 Masonic books you can't live without

Agreed.

I had not heard of it prior to reading this thread, now it is at the top of my books to get. I've got a birthday coming up and asked for W.L. Wilmshurst's Meaning of Masonry. Once I've read that, I'll either move on to one of his other books to get a copy of Esoterika.

Definitely use the Scottish rite link posted a few back. You don't have to be Scottish rite (or even a Freemason) to order it there. But they sell out then go on waits for more publishing. So when it's there get it.

Wilmhurst is a good read. I recommend using a highlighter when reading it. His thoughts are mixed for me but still glad I read it.

I found his Meaning of Masonry online (not sure if it was the full version or not) and after reading the first chapter, I needed more. Later chapters may or may not interest me as much, but I liked the direction it was going.

It would have to be the history of Royal Arch Masonry, but its seven volumes, hmmmmmm

Ritual Book, Book of Workings, Constitution, my VSL and a Transactions from the PA Lodge of research - first three are practical, last two sentimental.
