Reviews

[Joe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mackenzie's work is fantastic -- a first-rate, excellent resource for Freemasons interested in the Western Mystery Tradition. First published in 1875, its lustre is undimmed by the years. It is still one of my first go-to sources for information, ahead of Mackey's and certainly ahead of Coil's.

always referring to this one...classic work by Mackenzie, very interesting entries

[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

Esoteric, obscure, possibly outdated but very very well researched and very well written (although the 19th century prose does make it feel very outdated).

Very nice symbols and contents
