Unique in Germany!
It captures everything so nice to finally a book that is neither lurid world conspiracy theories devoted, yet with endless, boring treated merely historical information - all around the esoterics should it go. Are there any such books on the esoteric Freemasonry in the French market Hauf, here in Germany it is very search for what makes reasonable to finden.So Lehner pioneering work here, all in all, he has his job very well done. Not only the mind, even the "soul" is (including poems by selbstverfasste) angesprochen.Wermutstropfen remains really not such a book belonging to deal with issues of regularity and women in Freemasonry - diseases in which really the whole German Freemasonry seems to suffer, in France because it is much more pragmatic.
Even the really esoteric Masonic rites (ie, not in Germany’s iA!) Such as Memphis Misraim are unfortunately not even a single word mentioned! Nevertheless, for the outside and not yet vielinformierten readers of this book is a gem!

a wonderful book with instructive character
Alfried Lehner succeeds in wonderfully entertaining and yet profound narrative style also newcomers like insiders have access to the esoteric thinking of Freemasonry and its origins ermöglichen.Ein must for everyone interested in the topic and any esoteric Freemasonry Masonic oriented. Required reading!
