book review by Riley Burnham 12/31/2024

wow(!!!)

read this audiobook a few times to "get" it before reviewing, & can ultimately just say, wow(!)

​​​​​​​this takes us through the basic levels of freemasonry, including the initiations, scripted conversations, symbols & meanings, & direct criticisms against it

​​​​​​​the story therein told is one of breaking the sworn [detailed] oath, surrendering annihilation of self as the cost, whether carried out after is TBD...

​​​​​​​the author essentially says, "keep your damned threats & secrets, i'm sharing this business," & so that's what we get, including knock sequences & chalk drawings on the floor recalled

​​​​​​​wild stuff(!) 🧂
