Has anbody else read the above Book by Don Bradley He must have been a CoFreemason. He writes of the Masters Master Rakoczi He refers to a Lodge located in the Carpathian mountains held on what we know as St Michaels Day . With Master Rakoczi as Grand Master, the MahaChohan occupies the S.W. and the Chohan Koot Humi occupies that of the J.W. This Lodge exists also as a blueprint upon which we, in the outer world should base our Lodges. So here again we have an unseen Freemasons Lodge of which our Local Lodges are reflections of.

Not everyone interested in esoteric work is likely to be attracted to this style of book, and all the reviews I have yet seen suggests to me that he overlays onto Freemasonry aspects that are rather fanciful and (from my perspective) spiritually and occultly misguided.
It's a hard call to purchase such a book when there seems little about it that is appealing, unless one goes along with a rather narrow interpretation of Besant-type theosophy.

JMD Whilst there is much in the book that seems to belong to a different planet to the one I inhabit, taking pieces gives food for thought . For example he is very strong on the neophyte Knocking on the door at the beginning of initiation rather than the Tyler Knocking on his behalf. The Other point is as much of Besant and others input is the result of "seeing" or "channeling" we each can determine how much weight we give to the quality of that channelling

Now there is a question that might be worth asking...
Are there any male only lodges with the names:
St Germein Rakosczi - Rowkowsky or any of its many spellings, Bacon St Alban
??

My SRIA College is Francis Bacon College ('College' being the equivalent to 'Lodge' in the Craft), but this has naught to do with St Germain, Rakovski, Shakespeare, or St Alban.
I think there is also a St Alban Lodge (within UGLV - I'd have to check the guide) that likewise has nothing to do with those other individuals.
