The first in-depth study of the Freemasons during the Civil War From first-person accounts culled from regimental histories, diaries, and letters, Michael A. Halleran has constructed an overview of 19th-century American freemasonry. The author examines carefully the major Masonic stories from the Civil War, in particular the myth that Confederate Lewis A. Armistead made the Masonic sign of distress as he lay dying at the high-water mark of Pickett's charge at Gettysburg.
For too long, the norms of society found its way into Freemasonry, and have influenced the moral compass of a Masonic Lodge, instead of the beauty of Freemasonry being taught, and sending this light into the world within enlightened minds that produces a better society. This has created a domino effect of high visibility with negative repercussions that is gaining traction with the ability of masons to communicate, and see masonry practiced in all parts of the world like never before. Now is the time to halt the slide and get back to the foundation and intent of the craft. This book is the baring of my thoughts, mistakes and ultimately- my clarity of mind and spirit. This book is my story, my ideas, and my vision to a better social climate within the Fraternity. It is my humble experience in Black and White.
The Chamber of Reflection is an amazing preparatory tool for the degree of Freemasonry. Its history and existence date back to the very beginning, unfortunately most Masons have never heard of it. The only place you will ever see it in American Freemasonry as an accepted practiced rite is in the Templar Orders. However, traditionally it was seen as early as the Entered Apprentice degree. The main purpose of the Chamber is to help the candidate prepare himself for the solemn ceremonies he is about to undertake. Today, the Chamber of Reflection would serve as an even bigger tool to make sure said ceremony stays solemn. It would prevent members who chooses to haze or tease the candidate about riding a goat or other such clichés that are said. This piece was originally published in the Transaction of Texas Lodge of Research, and later used in my book, The True Masonic Experience. However, I was encouraged to publish this as a single book for those lodges who wish to have this readily available for their members. I hope you enjoy learning about one of the most misunderstood Masonic practices of our history.

An exploration of the influence of secret societies on the formative documents and symbols of the United States • Reveals the Founding Fathers’ spiritual vision for America as encoded in the Great Seal • Traces the influence of the Iroquois League of Nations upon the Constitution • Exposes the deep connections the Founding Fathers had with the Freemasons and other secret societies All children growing up in America learn who the Founding Fathers were. Most, however, never learn of the founders’ connections to the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians, and other esoteric orders. In Founding Fathers, Secret Societies Robert Hieronimus investigates these important connections and how their influence can be traced throughout our most significant national documents and symbols, especially the Great Seal. He reveals in detail how the reverse of the Great Seal--which appears on the back of the one-dollar bill--is a blueprint that conveys the secret destiny of America. By understanding the kabbalistic meaning of the Great Seal’s reverse, he shows how our current era presents unique opportunities for the fulfillment of our Founding Fathers’ spiritual vision.
One of Freemasonry most respected and widely read authors gives us his account of the Crusades and the often reported connections between the Knights Templar and Freemasonry. Mackey was prolific as an author and his books included the History of Freemasonry in seven volumes, the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry in two volumes, Symbolism of Freemasonry, Masonic Jurisprudence, Manual of the Lodge, Book of the Chapter, Principles of Masonic Law, Lexicon of Freemasonry and the Mystic Tie. Included in this work is a biography of Mackey by Robert I. Clegg, who revised later editions of Mackey's classic Encyclopedia of Freemasonry.
