Med kilder helt tæt på Mogens Amdi Pedersen og aktiviteterne i Tvind fortæller Pia Elers den fascinerende historie om en flok unge, der med en karismatisk leder i spidsen ville forandre verden, men som i dag fremstår som en lukket kapitalistisk koncern. Pia Elers var selv medlem af Lærergruppen i 1970’erne og har derfor på egen hånd oplevet det fantastiske fællesskab, der blev skabt omkring opbygningen af Skolesamvirket, men har også været vidne til, hvordan gruppepres kunne drive folk ud på selvmordets rand. Hun fortæller om Amdi Pedersen og hans livsværk – på godt og ondt. Både om de mange pædagogiske og humanitære projekter, der i dag er bredt ud til en lang række lande verden over. Og også om hvordan Amdi Pedersen trods sine åbenlyse kvaliteter blev stadig mere enerådig og svigtede de kammerater, der ofrede de vigtigste år af deres liv for at realisere hans visioner.  

Om Frimureriets historie, formål, indhold og virke samt fortællinger fra en frimurerloge i DanmarkI bogen ”I Kjole og Sort” afmystificeres Frimurerordenens hemmeligheder og aktiviteter og der gives et indblik Ordenens udbredelse i Danmark.

Den giver omfattende beskrivelser af frimureriets tankesæt, dets etablering, udbredelse og historie samt forklaringer af formål, virkemåder og udbytte for medlemmerne. Det handler om livsfilosofi, værdisæt og adfærd, og fordi dette kan være meget svært for den enkelte at tale om, er det omgærdet med en vis form for skepsis. Der er dog ingen tvivl om, at denne form for dannelsesrejse har sin eksistensberettilgelse – hvorfor skulle der ellers være over 7000 frimurere i Danmark, der ugentligt går i loge? Bogen her giver et nutidigt, men stadig højtideligt og historisk funderet overblik over frimureriets indhold. Frimureriets lære og idéverden handler om en indre, personlig rejse. En række skridt tager frimureren gennem en læreproces, der har til formål at give ham en udvidet bevidsthed omkring hans adfærd, liv og tro. Selvom hvert skridt foregår blandt andre brødre og efter fastlagte ritualer, er der tale om en personlig vandring, hvor den indre refleksion spiller en stor rolle for den enkelte frimurers udbytte.Grad for grad lader frimureren sig initiere til ny oplysning om hans udvikling. Bogen er en hyldest til hele frimureriet i Danmark i coffee-table format. Enhver læser vil kunne finde spændende, indholdsrige og tidssvarende beskrivelser af Ordenen som fænomen, frimureriets værdier samt betydning for brødrene og deres omgangskreds. Bogen inkluderer mange anskuelser, der kan være vigtige, hvis man er interesseret i frimureriet, inklusive det godtgørende aspekt, partnerens holdning, oplevelser af en logeaften samt hvad der skal til, for at blive optaget.

A compelling case for the connection between Freemasonry and the notorious Oak Island treasure, written by a historian and Curse of Oak Island guest expert. If you think you know everything about the secrets of Oak Island, think again. Oak Island: A Masonic Quest makes the strongest and most compelling case ever for the truth behind the treasure at Nova Scotia's Oak Island. It also connects two of the world's most baffling mysteries: the secrets of the arcane and cryptic Freemasons, and the equally enigmatic Oak Island treasure. Through years of extensive research, Scott Clarke -- author, amateur historian, and guest expert on the History Channel's The Curse of Oak Island -- has discovered numerous captivating connections, published here for the first time, that truly show these mysteries to be intertwined, including: Previously unknown connections between Freemasonry and Oak Island dating from before the discovery of the Money Pit in 1795 Masonic and family connections between two of the most famous treasures of the late eighteenth century and Oak Island The strongest and most evidence-based theory yet for what the treasure at Oak Island might consist of A logical, yet sure-to-be-controversial theory that could rewrite Masonic history The discovery of two previously unknown, centuries-old "treasure maps" that both point to treasure in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. With forty images, including maps and illustrations, Oak Island Odyssey: A Masonic Quest offers the freshest and most original take on the mystery yet.

Lige siden 1923 har denne bog nydt en stigende popularitet blandt frimurere over hele verden. Bogen har et særligt fokus på Hiram-legenden (Adoniram), for en frimurer er en arkitekt, en ’opbygger af karakterens tempel’.Frimureriet er mere end blot en social organisation, der er få århundreder gammel, og kan betragtes som en forevigelse af de filosofiske mysterier og indvielser fra gammel tid. De bringer ikke deres lys til menneskene, menneskene må bringe deres lys til dem. Visdommen iklæder derfor ‘sandheden om guddommen’ en kappe af symbolik og dækker indsigten med allegorier.

Is the central character in the Masonic ritual "Hiram Abiff" a Biblical cover for Hermes Trismegistus? Does the Masonic ritual contain encoded secret Hermetic knowledge of alchemy, astrology, and magic? During the tumultuous period leading up to the Thirty Years War and English Civil War, the best and brightest minds searched desperately for something - anything - which could soothe the tensions and re-unite people across religious confessions and political partisanship. Intriguingly alchemy and alchemical symbols emerged as a theme promoted by authors from a variety of affiliations. But with the Inquisition in the background and tensions high, Biblical framing of the secrets was essential. Infusing secret knowledge into the initiation rituals of the decaying Stone Masons guild as it shifted from a medieval labor union to a social club, alchemists fundamentally changed speculative Freemasonry at the dawn of the Age of Exploration and Colonization into a dynamo of social cohesion and unity. Yet early lodges were universally held in taverns. Overnight, a network of brewhouses, alehouses, and pubs popped up hosting Masonic lodges, with craft brewers experimenting with new flora and fauna. Their results could be quite literally enchanting, particularly in a secret initiation. Had Masonic lodges discovered the Stone of the Wise? The Grand Communication provides a fresh look at early Freemasonry's ritual and symbols to examine the nature of the Biblical and alchemical themes.
