Ritual of the Order of the Eastern Star
"Ritual of the Order of the Eastern Star" by Order of the Eastern Star. General Grand Chapter is an educational text that aimed to teach new members and those uninvolved in the group how the Order of the Eastern Star functions. Though this book may have a fairly narrow audience, it's still a fascinating read that deserves to be remembered.
Proceedings of the General Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star at Its Fourth Stated Meeting, August 17-23, 1883
Social history as a corrective to a historiography is often too limited to diplomacy and wars. It began an upward trajectory as early as the 1930s, but it remains constrained by the frustrating cost and availability of materials that even great research libraries lack. This volume is a case in point. Fraternal movements like Freemasonry have impacted society for hundreds of years. Yet, over time research into their undoubted influence has been handicapped by their codes of secrecy, arcane rituals, and the paucity of continuing tertiary research projects. As a step towards "more light" Westphalia Press has produced a number of scarce titles that will be helpful in understanding the "secret empire" of lodges, initiations, and (candidly) the deliberately inscrutable. Although the Order of the Eastern Star at one time claimed ties to orders in the seventeenth and eighteenth century Swedish royal court, the consensus is that it was largely created as a companion secret society to Freemasonry in thenineteenth century. Both men who are Masons and women with a family connection to Masons are members, and chapters are found as far afield as Scotland and Australia.
