Legends of the Craft

Episode 37: The Root Races and Freemasonry

One of the central tenets of the Theosophical system of understanding is the idea of the Root Races. These Root Races describe the stages of human evolution and spiritual progress over the course of millions of years and without this knowledge the truth about humanity's origins, present state and future destiny would remain a mystery. How does this knowledge fit into the world scheme of Freemasonry and what does it teach us about the fulfillment of the Great Work?

Legends of the Craft explores Science, Religion and Philosophy in search of the hidden wisdom of Nature. From historical tales of heroism and courage to great works of literature, no legend will go unexamined by Brothers Matias Cumsille and Aksel Suvari in their quest for Masonic inspiration. For too long the philosophy of the Craft has grown stagnant and stale. By resurrecting the ancient legends of our past and studying the masterpieces of the modern age we can determine the future course of Masonry as it endeavors to accomplish the Great Work!
