"The genuine secrets were to be found in a secret subterranean vaulted chamber, or crypt, in King Solomons Temple. These consisted of certain things which had been preserved there, and the reason why we refer to "The bosom of the Holy Mount Moriah" In connection with the first or Holy Lodge. This mysterious vault belonged to the earliest days of the conquest of Canaan and the days of Moses when god first consecrated the spot."

This is a VERY fascinating, mystical, and incredible book that contains an in-depth history of the masons and a lot more... With passages on the holiest ancient one, The text of the hidden mystery, Heaven, Astrology, Mysticism, the transmigration of the soul through Reincarnation, and so much more that I cannot explain adequately. The history of this book dates back to the BC era and even includes sections discussing the creator and esoteric wisdom. A very hard to find printing in any condition, especially one as fine as this. An exceptionally scarce, powerful, and magical book.

"Which matters are not even revealed to the highest of angels."

The overall condition of this book is very nice considering it was printed over 90 years ago. It does have some normal wear associated with its age. The cover and spine text is rubbed and slightly faded. The interior pages are naturally age toned and have some regular reading use. The covers and spine have some normal shelf wear and age. It's a very old book so it's not perfect but for a printing from 1930, I would say it's been well-kept.

Francisco de Paula Castells Cañas is the main Masonic author on the subject of the Holy Royal Arch of Jerusalem, which is considered to be the completion of "pure ancient Masonry."
