This Text presents an introduction to the Alchemical Philosophy of
the Ancient Mysteries, it contains extracts from many different
books and is organized into 2 main sections: 1) An explanation of
the Alchemical Symbolism which has 3 parts that are mostly extracts
from 3 of Jean Marie Ragon's books published together in 1853:
Masonic Orthodoxy, Philosophical Masonry and Occult Masonry. Taken
together, these extracts are a wonderful synthesis of how Masonry
is a continuation of the Ancient Mysteries. 2) Contains the
Instructions and/or Catechisms from 3 different French Masonic
orders: FRENCH RITE (early to mid 1700s), ADONHIRAMITE RITE (late
1700s), and MEMPHIS RITE (mid 1800s). These show the Ancient
Philosophical, Hermetic, and Alchemical symbolism which was
explained in the first section. Finally, in the Editor's Appendix,
there is an explanation of the "Masonic Tablet", followed by an
article about the "Generation of Beings" and then a list of the
"Shem Hamphorash" or the '72 Names of God'.
