Earlier today I found myself being drawn to a new book that I passed in a bookshop (common occurance) and this was a thin volume called "The Spirit of Freemasonry" by Foster Bailey.
So far I have only very briefly flicked through the book, but the chapter headings "Masonry at the crossroads" and "The Unrecognised Masonic Crisis" and "The Future of Freemasonry" grasped me, though currenly I don't know their contents.
Though by the time that I go to bed tonight I will have made a start to the book.
I post this here as there have been a number of books over the years that have drawn me to them in this manner and which I can see with hindsight how important they have been, even though I did not always recognise it at the time.
Finally got to my question:-
Before I get to far into the book, is anyone willing to offer an opinion on Foster Bailey?

Ok now that I have completed the book I will answer my own question.
I am impressed.
Anyone who has read the book will understand why I am impressed. All that good advice fifty years ago from a 32 degree FM. Sort of makes me feel a little redundant.
And I thought that I was hard on Freemasons!!!

It is a good book
You will note however the different writing styles between Part 1 and Part 2.
My understanding that the first part was by his wife Alice - that is DK.
The second part is Foster.
Thereby start with Part 1. It is perhaps the best exposition of esoteric masonry.
Cheers
