| Publisher Description: 1925. Volumes 1 through 3. Like Freemasonry in the West, the Hung or Triad Society seems to claim it is a lineal descendant of the ancient mysteries. Its signs are of primeval antiquity, but it represents the Higher Degrees in Freemasonry rather than the Craft in that the main part of the ritual deals with what is supposed to befall a man after death. The Hung ritual is full of words which have an ordinary and a special Hung meaning. In this book, the ritual is set out in as complete a form as possible, with notes on its meaning and evidence to show the original basis on which it rests. Beautifully illustrated. |
