That's right, these are the 21 Brotherhood of Light Courses of Lessons by C. C. Zain. I stumbled on them by accident (synchronicity?) on this wonderful site: www.lightofegypt.com/index.aspxThe main titles are: Book 01 Laws of Occultism Book 02 Astrological Signatures Book 03 Spiritual Alchemy Book 04 Ancient Masonry Book 05 Esoteric Psychology Book 06 The Sacred Tarot Book 07 Spiritual Astrology Book 08 Horary Astrology Book 09 Mental Alchemy Book 10-1 Natal Astrology Delineating the Horoscope Book 10-2 Natal Astrology Progressing the horoscope Book 11 Divination and Character Reading Book 12-1 Natural Alchemy Evolution of Life Book 12-2 Natural Alchemy Evolution of Religion Book 13 Mundane Astrology Book 14 Occultism Applied to Daily Life Book 15 Weather Predicting Book 16 Stellar Healing Book 17 Cosmic Alchemy Book 18 Imponderable Forces Book 19 Organic Alchemy Book 20 The Next Life Book 21 Personal Alchemy However each book is made up of several chapters, each of which is available as a separate pdf. Although this is a laborious download, the scope of this work is so vast that IMHO it is well worth the effort. I think members of this forum are likely to appreciate this material.

I decided to do the course as suggested in the non numerical sequence. I do not have a natural disposition for Astrology/Astronomy which is reckoned to be one of the two Keys to understanding Freemasonry and other mysteries.
(Before mainstream masons head for the hills, just remember all the references to heavenly bodies in the various lodges/chapters._
There is the Gold Key (The Sun Key) which refers to the subtle influences of the planets, stars etc have upon our physical bodies, much like the moon has upon the tides (and the waters within our own bodies).
There is the Silver Key (The Moon Key) which refers to the Tarot and being the bearer of the wisdom of the mystery schools particularly in relation to psychology and all things esoteric.
(and if mainstream masons are still reading, it is popularly believed by many the Knights Templar/Troubadors etc used card games to disperse there teachings throughout the community in a safe way during the time of the Inquisition)

Zain give an excellent explanation for the "RIDING THE GOAT" thingy re Masonry.
The five pointed star, representing the highest in Man, with the point being at the top refers to Intelligence and Wisdom ruling the four elements Fire/Air/Water/Earth, which are represented in our lodges as the four animals. Astrologically the head is ruled by Aries and represented by the Ram.
The five pointed star, representing the lower nature of Man, with the point downwards, is ruled by Saturn (source of Satan?), and the star in this position represents Man being dominated and driven by his elemental nature. Saturn = Capricorn the Goat.
Bible - St John (of masonic fame) tell us that the sheep will be divided from the goats.
Masonry - Riding the goat is a reference to the initiate proving that he has subjugated his lower animal instincts enough to allow his wisdom and intelligence to rule them.

Thanks Maat, I had not thought of "Riding the Goat" in the context of Capricorn.
