The Ceremony of Initiation was originally written for the
instruction of the members of the research lodge, known as the
Lodge of Living Stones, founded by W.L.Wilmshurst in Leeds. Walter
Leslie Wilmshurst was born in 1867 in Sussex. At the age of fifteen
he was articled to a solicitor in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, and
worked as a solicitor there until his death in 1939. He was also
one of the best-loved writers about Freemasonry of the twentieth
century as well as the founding Master of The Lodge of Living
Stones. His first best-selling book, The Meaning of Masonry, was
soon followed by the equally popular The Masonic Initiation, and in
addition he was a prolific writer of essays about the esoteric side
of Freemasonry. Wilmshurst's style of writing, highly formal and
typical of his Victorian education, can make him a difficult read
for modern Masons. Hence Robert Lomas, himself a popular writer on
Freemasonry, and the Associate Membership Secretary of the Lodge of
Living Stones, decided to revisit some of Wilmshurst's less
well-known books and restate their ideas in a more modern idiom so
as to alert new Masons to the deeper meaning of the rituals of
their Craft. This edition contains Wilmshurst's complete original
text, as well as Lomas's modern retelling.
