In the early ages occult knowledge was taught openly, as the
sciences are taught in our colleges to-day. But in the course of
time many allowed their selfishness to rule and so abused their
power that it became necessary to withhold such knowledge from the
unworthy. This was the condition of religious affairs when the
Mysteries were necessarily established by the King-Priests of the
Divine Dynasties, in the early days of Atlantis. -from "The Origin
of the Mysteries" Though the author cannot, alas, "lift the veil
from the secrets of the Order," 32nd-degree Freemason Charles H.
Vail endeavors to lead the curious toward a more complete
understanding of the ancient knowledge of the eternal truth of the
universe of which the Masons are the keepers. From the great
antiquity of Masonic symbols and traditions to the formation of the
organization with their perpetuation as its goal, this 1909 book is
an intriguing glimpse inside one of the most secretive fraternities
in existence. It is required reading for those fascinated by arcane
wisdom and secret societies.

The Series of Sunday evening lectures which comprise this book were
first given in Pullman Memorial Church, Albion, NY. The many calls
for the lectures in printed form led to their publication. We trust
that the book may contribute to a better understanding of the Order
by the general public; inspiring our Brother Masons to greater
appreciation of and loyalty to the Fraternity, and encouraging all
to labor for the realization of the great principles and ideals
embodied in the Ancient Mysteries and our Modern Masonry. Contents:
Origin and Object of the Ancient Mysteries; Egyptian, Hindu, and
Persian Mysteries; Druidical, Gothic, Grecian, and Jewish
Mysteries; Christian Mysteries; Meaning of True Initiation; Origin
and History of Freemasonry; Origin and History of the Knights
Templars and the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite; Symbols and
Legends of Masonry; List of Masonic and Kindred Books.
