Below you will find Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite,
first published in 1871, one of the most well-known yet least-read Masonic
books, was written by Albert Pike (b.1809-d.1891), and it contains his
interpretations of the Scottish Rite degrees, including the Craft degrees, based
on his life-long studies of ancient civilizations, philosophy and language.
There are no "secrets" in this book as many misinformed people say, nor is this
book "official" or a "masonic bible" as no one man's opinion of Freemasonry
speaks for Freemasonry as a whole. Pike merely was sharing his knowledge with
people who he considered his friends and brothers who were members of the
Scottish Rite in the 35 states that are under the jurisdiction of the Mother
Supreme Council. Regardless of one's personal opinions of Pike's obvious
character flaws, it cannot be doubted that the man was a genius, and his genius
shows in this work.
