Druidism and Freemasonry

Foundations of Freemasonry Series

By: Albert G. Mackey

Narrated by: Adam Hanin

Mackey examines the popular belief among scholars of his day that the rites of Freemasonry are remnants of ancient Druids ceremonies, or that at the very least the ceremonies of the two share a common origin, such as the pagan mysteries, travelling Buddhists, or perhaps the Phoenicians. In doing so, he gives an excellent history lesson on who the Druids were and what their initiation ceremonies were like. Whether the modern Freemasons choose to subscribe to this belief or not, he will likely notice some compelling similarities, which may be difficult to explain away - although, it becomes evident that Mackey, himself, succeeds at this.

Druids are alive and well!

I know one and they are also involved in the secret society of the Freemasons.

A a Lazy description of what Druidism is not, instead of what they were.

It’s really hard to listen to arrogant narrators shoot down all theories without including any theories for who they were. This is one of the laziest books I’ve listed to.
