DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe truth about ¿hidden symbolism¿ provides an intriguing insight into an alternative historical narrative. The proponents of a different story found a way to write their own version of historical events: they encoded it in symbolism secretly hidden in the very works of art that were commissioned by their enemies, the established Church. This book will inspire you to search out artifacts, paintings and architecture, decipher the hidden codes, and experience the almost mystical sensation of discovering the secret messages meant for us and our descendants as much as for the artists¿ contemporaries. The author was the co-author of ¿Rosslyn -- Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail,¿ which Dan Brown drew upon as source material for his, `The Da Vinci Code.¿

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Count Alessandro Cagliostro's sincere belief in the magical powers, including immortality, conferred by his Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry won him fame, but made him dangerous enemies, too. His celebrated travels through the Middle East and the capitals of Europe ended abruptly in Rome in 1789, where he was arrested by the Inquisition and condemned to death for heresy. The Masonic Magician tells Cagliostro's extraordinary story, complete with the first English translation of his Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry ever published. The authors examine the case made against him, that he was an impostor as well as a heretic, and find that the Roman Church, and history itself, have done him a terrible injustice. This engaging account, drawing on remarkable new documentary evidence, shows that the man condemned was a genuine visionary and true champion of Freemasonry. His teachings have much to reveal to us today, not just of the secrets of the movement, but of the mysterious hostility it continues to attract."
