Delve into the ancient mysteries surrounding Arthurian myth and one of Freemasonry’s most guarded secrets
Expertly weaving together ancient Greek mysteries, the medieval tales of Merlin, and the shrouded history of the Freemasons, John Michael Greer presents a fascinating analysis of a puzzle that has captivated practitioners and historians for centuries.
Rich with meticulous research, The Ceremony of the Grail utilises the earliest surviving Masonic ritual texts, alongside pioneering insights from Jessie Weston and William Morris, to reconstruct the Grail ritual, concluding with guidelines for performing the ritual today. In addition, Greer further unravels the complex origins of Freemasonry, exploring how the Grail tradition has been sustained from megalithic times to the present day. Also included are full translations of pivotal essays.
The Ceremony of the Grail is not only essential reading for understanding the underpinnings of Western occultism, but a pertinent roadmap for readers seeking to reconnect with a powerful, magical tradition.
