Glimpses of Masonic History
By Charles Webster LeadbeaterLength8h 41m
About this audiobook
Charles Webster Leadbeater was influential early in the development of mixed gender Freemasonry and at the peak of the Theosophical influence. Annie Besant was also a Theosophist and she also introduced Theosophical elements into her Freemasonry, but Leadbeater (together with Wedgewood) went way over Besant in that regard.
Leadbeater wrote a lot, but it seems that his bibliography contains just two books about Freemasonry, both published in 1926. The first is called "Glimpses of Masonic History" (later: Ancient Mystic Rites). The second "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry".
Combining seership with science, in "Glimpses of Masonic History" Leadbeater presents an absorbing, in-depth, study of the mystery schools of Egypt, Greece, Judea, the Knights Templar of the Middle Ages, and the emergence of Co-Masonry in the twentieth century.
