Mystic Masonry — J. D. Buck (1897)

Mystic Masonry; or, The Symbols of Freemasonry and the Greater Mysteries of Antiquity is Jirah Dewey Buck’s esoteric study of Freemasonry as a symbolic and initiatory tradition. Buck examines Masonic teachings alongside the ancient mysteries, sacred geometry, Kabbalistic and Pythagorean symbolism, spiritual evolution, initiation, and the philosophical meaning of the lodge and its ritual forms.

Rather than treating Masonry solely as a historical fraternity, Buck presents its symbols as part of a wider current of perennial wisdom. The work is particularly valuable to readers interested in comparative symbolism, occult philosophy, initiatory traditions, and the relationship between Freemasonry and the mystery schools of antiquity.
