What book are you reading now?

[Vigilias]

Let us know what you thought of that. Freemasons seem like weirdos.

My dad was a Free Mason for a number of years and Master of his lodge for one. He once asked if I would be interested in joining but I wasn't.

Sometimes a books cover is more interesting than its pages and this was the case with the book I read.

It was rather too well argued for both sides, those in favour and those against the Masons. It seems as though the Free Masons have been credited with too much influence over world affairs, influence they simply haven't exerted.

They were not responsible for the French or the American Revolutions, it was simply the case that they became what they were accused of being. The accusation was enough to attract revolutionaries to their ranks. Hitler and Stalin were both ultra suspicious of the Masons and each said they were working for the other side. Some claim they play both sides off against each other.

Accusations, it seems, that are not helped by the fact the the Masons traditionally only ever answer their critics with vagueness or silence.

The reader always expects a book of this nature to blow the lid off the secrets of secret societies but the end always disappoints.
