Masonic Illusionists

In the world of professional stage magic, few names resonate with such acclaim as Harry Keller, Howard Thurston, Harry Houdini, Charles Carter, and Harry Blackstone, Sr. In addition to being brothers in the fraternity of American magicians, each was also an active Freemason. Nearly amazing as the magic acts these great illusionists are famous for is the fact that all of the great magicians made time in their busy lives for Freemasonry: Despite the extensive travel entailed in their careers and all the allurements to the vices of the world, each recognized the value of the Masonic brotherhood.

Frederick Great and Freemasonry in Germany

THE BUILDER AUGUST 1921

TAKEN FROM THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE LADY CRAVEN

Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of the fourth earl of Berkeley, was born on December 17, 1750. A sprightly and beautiful girl, she had many love affairs, and was finally married to William, 6th Lord Craven. She was unfaithful to him, having relations with the French ambassador, Count de Guines, but was pardoned by her indulgent husband. After Lord Craven’s death she went to Germany and found a place in the train of the Margrave of Anspach, to whom, after an unseemly friendship, and within three months after the death of his wife, she was married. There is no need to detail her history further, or print the long codicil of her titles, save to say that, after having seen life in many courts, among them Russia, and after having had a most mixed career of love affairs and intrigues, the Lady published her “Autobiographical Memoirs” in 1826, when she was in her seventy-sixth year. From these Memoirs the following chapter, with a few irrelevant paragraphs omitted, has been taken: for what reason, the Masonic reader will immediately discover for himself. Read more

Martinism: A Brief Introduction

History

The origins of Martinism stem from one man, The Marquis Louis Claude de Saint-Martin (1743-1803). He was born on January 18, 1743 in the French province of Toursine. His first job was that of Barrister but later he took a commission in the army where it is said he met M. de Grainville, a prominent member of the Elus-Cohen. It seems clear that this man must have influenced Saint-Martin to some extent because only six years later he was initiated into the Elus-Cohen. He studied the practices of this order for a further 6 years but gradually became disenchanted with their theurgical practices. By 1770 Saint-Martin had left the army and had accepted a position as secretary to Martinez de Pasquales and it was during this time (1775) that he published his book, Des Erreurs et de la Vérité, (Of Errors and Truth). As time passed Saint-Martin continued to grow more and more distant from the theurgical aspects of the Elus-Cohen and then in 1774 Martinez de Pasquales died. Saint-Martin tried in vain to persuade the Elus-Cohen to adopt a more Christian form of mysticism but they were totally bound to the original teachings and disciplines of Pasquales. Seeing that such a reformation was beyond his abilities and presumably that there was no advantage to be gained by pursuing this line, he began to teach using his own ideas. It was while involved with these activities that he encountered an eminent German called Rudolph Salzmann and presumably through him joined the Order of Unknown Philosophers. From 1777 to about 1787 he traveled widely throughout Europe and formed a large number of important contacts and during this time we also see him severing all connections with the Elus-Cohen. He also broke all his links with Freemasonry at the same time. Read more

The FOGC Lodge

The Freemasonic Order of the Golden Centurium

By Dr. Adolf Hemberger

A purely magical-mystical loge was founded in 1840 in Munich by some German rich industrialists and well situated citizens. This lodge existed until 1933. At all times only 99 persons of the male gender could belong to this esoteric working-group or secret lodge. This lodge basically never appeared in the open. Read more

The Illuminati And The French Revolution

On October 6, 1789, there was seized at the home of Mirabeau’s publisher, a number of important documents. One of them, called Croquis ou Projet de Monsieur de Mirabeau, was a statement of the aims and purposes of the Illuminate, supposedly written by Mirabeau; Illuminist, Cabalist and the darling of the Jewish society of Paris (having reported on his trip to Germany–where he received his initiation into Weishaupt’s Illuminate–to his Jewish supporters at the home of Henrietta Herz). To please his Jewish friends and supporters of the French Revolution, Mirabeau wrote his great apology for the Jews under the form of a panegyric of Mendelssohn, the father of Jewish Illuminism. Suitable praise of Mirabeau’s love of Jewry and his services to the eternal internationalists, can be found in M. Samuel’s “Memoirs of Moses Mendelssohn,” 1827. Read more
