Few individuals exerted more influence in "esoteric and occult Masonry" in the late 1800s and early 1900s than A.E. (Arthur) Waite. His hunger for "hidden wisdom" drove him to the study of all matters esoteric.

This collection of Masonic papers from A.E. Waite represents some of the finest thoughts on the "deeper aspects" of Masonry. Includes: "Discourse on the Fellowcraft Degree;" "Emblematic Freemasonry, Building Guilds and Hermetic Schools;" "Pillars of the Temple;" "The French Mystic and the Story of Modern Martinism;" "The Templars Orders in Freemasonry;" "Some Deeper Aspects of Masonic Symbolism" and more.

Enlightened spirits value all aspects of life over monetary wealth. But, the alchemists of old are said to have spent their lives in study of how to turn lesser metals into gold. It is often said that their manifestos are coded blueprints to the actual creation of gold. The suggestion is that they actively sought what should mean so very little to the enlightened.
