‘New book: Mayan Masonry’
Bro. Richard Cassaro of George Washington Lodge 285 has a new book coming next week. From the publicity:
Mayan Masonry: Were the ancient Maya an older branch on the Masonic family tree?
In this thrilling and adventure-filled quest penetrating deep into the Mesoamerican jungles, iconoclast author and popular lecturer Richard Cassaro rivets our attention on the great architectural and cultural achievements of the Maya.
These monuments are not the remnants of a raging warrior people drenched in sacrificial blood, as commonly portrayed, but rather reflect a sophisticated spiritual legacy—a Masonic legacy—that stretches back over many millennia.
Maya “Master Masons” built some of the most advanced stone pyramids, temples, aqueducts, and ceremonial centers in the world. Mayan art and architecture represents a civilization focused on metaphysical self-knowledge and inner development. Mayan temples are gateways bridging the material and spiritual worlds, capable of healing, divination, and raising consciousness.
