Miscellaneous

One of the curious aspects of scholarly investigations in these islands is a palpable reluctance to investigate topics such as Freemasonry: the subject is studiously avoided by many, most supposedly dispassionate historians whinnying with fright at the mere mention of it. Serious scholars, uninterested in the usual conspiracy-theories or the universal sport of bashing the Craft, have long realised that Freemasonry is of major importance, especially in considerations of the 18th-century European Enlightenment.

Alright, we confess – we have not been able, yet to find any Knight Templar music – which is hardly surprising given their vows.

It is not every day that one is privileged to review a book written by the chief of a royal house who is also the head of a church.

This is the most appalling book I have ever read that mentions Freemasonry. It contains the most cock-eyed, convoluted, and mixture of old and debunked ideas about Freemasonry and ancient civilizations tossed in for effect.
