JB: As a person who study's the occult and secret societies, this is a must-have for anyone looking to study Freemasonry. As a proud non-mason, I like to bring up Albert Pike & this book whenever I encounter freemasons. More often than not you will see the freemason become angry or frustrated that you, a profane non-mason, somehow have access to their "hidden knowledge."

PlaceholderPlaceholder: There are enough reviews about the content of this book. I was long looking for a better print quality of this book and this copy of Morals and Dogma gave me just that.

J. Hauck (Guerrilla Reader): Review of: "Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry Prepared for The Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States and Published by its Authority Hardcover – January 1, 1963," by Albert Pike.
On the surface this book comprises 861 pages of philosophy and esoteric insight into the Thirty-Two Degrees in Freemasonry. The Thirty-Third Degree is honorary.
For the practicing Freemason at that level who takes these printed words to heart it serves as a road-map for living a self-actualized life. A life that serves others before self-serving. A noble pathway that should be heralded and not hidden.
The author, Albert Pike, was a man who lived an interesting life. He was a poet, journalist, lawyer, an Officer in the U.S. Army and C.S. Army, and of course a Freemason.
This text is Pike's opus magnum; his masterpiece. The advice given and provided to the Freemason who is willing to employ it is as relevant today as it was when first written.
For those looking for a tome on "magick," etc. just pass on this. For those looking to link "Satanism" or something profane to it, please move...

Steven Craven: What is the philosophy inculcated by the Masonic Fraternity? Why have so many renowned men such as George Washington, Mozart, Benjamin Franklin, Harry S. Truman, and Sir Winston Churchill found in Masonic membership keys to leading enlightened lives? Be cautioned, that this is no easy read. You must remember when reading this that Pike expected his reader to have a classical education. Not many educated in the 21st century had the opportunity to study the classics. Consider this, not many Freemasons in the mid to late 1800s had beyond a high school education, and Country and Pioneer men the found teachings of the Blue Lodge was the only form of "higher education" available beyond the little red school house, and the little white community church.
I recommend this to every Mason who desires a more thorough understanding of his fraternity. This book is well known to Masons, especially Scottish Rite Masons, since Brother Pike was the driving force behind developing the Scottish Rite, if that accolade can be pinned to one person. I purchased an older, hardback edition partly for its historic and sentimental value, and I don't regret it. In addition to being a very large book,...

Michael Warren: Well written metaphysical philosophy. Useful for those who want to discuss these elusive topics and need a series of increasingly complex philosophical metaphors to frame ideas which are beyond the comprehension of most people. While this work resorts to long prose almost pathologically, it reaches it's points all the better for it and can be enjoyable simply for it's literary qualities. That being said, I found no positive reference to Lucifer despite what most people say, it actually condemns his pride at one point. The book is heavy on symbolism, and if you understand numerology it should be easier to access the pages you seek. There's a lot going on here, probably more than I picked up. Scottish Rite Freemason's may follow Lucifer but they don't admit it in this book so far as I can tell, I'll read it a few more times and post updates on this review. Pretty much everything negative I've heard about it online has been misquoted or taken out of context, I'm not exonerating Freemasons just reporting facts.

K. Nikgol: This is one heavy brick of a book! From page one Albert Pike leads us through the 33 degrees of The Ancient and Scottish Rite, theoretically. The rituals themselves are not described, the book functions as a sort of theory injection to the rituals. "Morals and Dogma" is the Magnum Opus of Albert Pike, written exclusively for Scottish Rite masons, but other mason will enjoy this book too, I would say that anyone with any interest in history, philosophy, ethics and esotericism will find this extremely helpful.
Albert Pike shows through this book how Freemasonry consists of several religions, not only one. He takes us through the similiarities in all religions, and tries to find the true essence in all of them. This will be helpful for christian masons who think that Freemasonry only is about Jesus and Hiram Abiff. Pike shows us that the Order has a lot of its history and symbolism from Zoroaster and the Indo Aryans, worshippers of Fire and Light.
From the ethical, simple working tools of the Blue Lodge, to the christian ethics and mysticism of the Chapter of Rosy Cross, to the Aryan and Parsee worshipping of Light, which the Templars continued from the essenees and the...

Dominic Goddard: Very insightful and interesting, I was shocked to hear about what was written in this book, and even more baffled once I had read it for myself. Very serious topics.
