Scottish Rite Research Society Posted by Jeff

I'd just like to throw in a quick plug for the Scottish Rite Research Society. A friend suggested that I join it back in december, and I've already received three incredible hardbound books worth well over the $30 it costs to join for a year. The subject matter goes beyond the Scottish Rite of Masonry and has included many relevant items of historical Masonic interest. Membership is open to anyone, so even if you aren't a member of Scottish Rite, and even if you aren't a Mason, or even a man, it might be a way to quench some of your thirst for information of this type.

The books I received for 2005 membership were: "Esoterika: Symbolism of the Blue Degrees of Masonry" by Albert Pike, and Heredom volumes IV and XII, which is a publication put out yearly by the Research Society containing articles submitted by its members. Heredom has been fascinating in its variety, and each of the volumes so far has even contained the complete text of an historic degree that is no longer worked. They haven't announced what this year's "Bonus Book" is going to be yet, but I'm certainly going to go for the 2006 membership.
