Tells You Everything

I am a freemason, but discovered I didn't know ANYTHING. This book tells you everything. Mark TraupmanThe Lost Message of Israel

Four stars even though he's a pathological fibber:

Let me start off this book review by quoting page 311, paragraph 3: "The historical Illuminati were never in a position to wield any power over anyone. They influenced the thinking of a great many people, and possibly assisted the mind-set for the French Revolution, but they never once influenced any government except against themselves. The measure of their success can be notionally perceived in hindsight, but at the time they were a failed Order, and were totally non-existent by the late 1780's. As for their attachment to Freemasonry, it too was non-existent; Weishaupt founded the group specifically because he was unimpressed with German Freemasonry. It is impossible to presume that, in the context of all this, the Illuminati managed to contrive a powerful New World Order, and have since been running a conspiratorial global network for the past 200 years. The Illuminati simply do not exist, neither in the top echelons of Freemasonry, nor anywhere else." And to think Gardner actually had the audacity to make such an equivocal statement, {{{or should I be polite and say "prevaricate."}}} The bottom line is; Laurence Gardner is an unmitigated liar! The Illuminati really do exist. However, the truth is buried deep under his fraudulence, and if you're intelligent enough to be cognizant of that fact you'll enjoy this book. "The Shadow of Solomon the Lost Secrets of Freemasonry" is worth the read insofar as exposing who, what, when, where, why, and how the "Old World Order" became "The New World Order" simply because knowledge is cognitional power and that's something the Illuminati has total derision towards. So, with that said; your best bet is to read Seth Payson's book "Proof of the Illuminati" since Gardner conveniently omits certain details and vital information that exposes the globalist perpetrators. It is common knowledge that the Illuminati/Jacobin Society where waist high in orchestrating the French Revolution. So, for Gardner to say that they "were never in a position to wield any power over anyone" is simply doublespeak at its most paramount. And what makes Gardner's claim so egregiously adumbrated is that he never divulges the fact that after Weishaupt's Illuminati were expelled from Freemasonry he was "deprived of his Professor's chair, and banished from Bavaria." Or so we thought according to Seth Payson. Payson wrote that "He (Weishaupt) went first to Regenburg, and afterward entered into the service of [Ernest II] the Duke of Saxe-Gotha, whose name in the order (of the Illuminati) was Timoleon." The reality is this, the Illuminati didn't disappear as Gardner suggests. They regrouped to form an alliance with the House of Saxe. Furthermore, the evidence shows that Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of the House of Saxe-Coburg in the month of February 1840, which means for a second time the Illuminati infiltrated the Masonic lodges in Germany and England. If you recall English Freemasonry is also known as Hanoverian Freemaso

Any who would consider the process of American history.

Collections strong in New Age topics in general and freemasonry history in particular will want to consider Laurence Gardner's THE SHADOW OF SOLOMON: it's a reader offering an insider's account of masonic history and the search the fraternity has conducted to locate its own lost secrets. The Masons have long been involved in world political events down to the founding of the U.S. and its constitution, which makes THE SHADOW OF SOLOMON of interest not only to new age holdings, but to any who would consider the process of American history.

A very valid perspective

As good a read on this topic as you'll find. Well researched with valid arguements based on historic fact. A must, for anyone interested in forming their own opinion in the origins and history of the craft. Highly recommended.

rich and researched....

Having only just come out earlier this year, it may have missed the renewed surge interest in Knights Templar and the Masons... but still a good read for those who want substance in their books.. For those brothers of the craft this book will be a timely reminder of what is established fact about our order and what we assume to know... in a time with Knight & Lomas' over-speculative thrilling tails of Hiram Key and exploring other Masonic Legends... The Shadow of Solomon is written WAY more neater and way more research than Hiram Key (though I thought Hiram Key was a fantastic book indeed and would still reccomend it), Shadow of Solomon is dense with facts, dates, names and places including dozens of colour prints of art relating to the foundation of the craft, and indeed a intriguing history of upper-europe society and politics of the 1700 and 1800s. For those not into Holy Blood & Holy Grail or Hiram Key type books which seems to be this market, Shadow of Solomon is NO Da Vinci Code, it is well researched non-fiction book, the dense text is probably both it's good point downfall and a reader can get lost and exhausted just in the sheer use of dates and names in the first few chapters relating to the establishment of the Royal Society and other parent societies to what we now know as freemasonry. I am mid way in the book now and enjoying immensely will add to this hopefully as it comes to a close enjoy!
