Re-Symbolizing Freemasonry
Freemasonry, the centuries-old institution, steeped in tradition, is at a crossroads in the 21st century. With membership long in decline, the once prominent society looks to an uncertain future. Its customs, inherited from a bygone time of Popes and Kings, no longer charm a secular public. In a world increasingly wary of its religious past, Masonry seeks–and must find–a modern place for its ancient symbols.

About the book
The Beginning is Wisdom re-centers Freemasonry in the modern world, exploring how symbols and symbolism are understood. Readers are introduced to the esoteric foundation of Kabbalah, the brilliant system given under veil to the world nearly a thousand years ago. Perhaps the key to Freemasonry’s future can be found in the distant and mysterious past of Judaism’s most secret teaching.
Starting where all journeys start – at the beginning – The Beginning is Wisdom, reaches back to the dawn of time and space, to reflect light on the here and now. Symbols are unmasked and examined in light of contemporary understanding and modern human experiences. Guided by Kabbalah’s resplendent heart – the enigmatic Zohar – readers are set on a unique path to understanding and imagining the wonders of the universe and every person’s place in it.
