The 32 Secret Paths of Solomon is a new examination of the role of Qabbalah in Freemasonry. This book explores how Freemasonry holds certain keys which reveal a completely new perspective to the Qabbalistic science. Qabbalah is mentioned many times in the degrees of Freemasonry, and this book explores why an understanding of Qabbalah is important in order to truly understand Masonic ritual. This book also publishes for the first time gematria correspondences which are found within Masonic ritual, and it demonstrates how Freemasonry holds the keys to understanding a different layout of the Qabbalistic Tree than has ever been published before. This book will be of value to both the new and old student of the Qabbalistic science.

It's an interesting start, but with some odd mistakes
By Brian Warner
i finished the book (it's small 96 pages.) so here's my impressions... The author of the book is a 33 degree Scottish Rite fellow. His knowledge of Masonry is pretty deep. He also understands a lot of the Qabbalah, which he ties the two together... he also has a pretty descent handle on Western Mystery schools (such as the Golden Dawn, ... See MoreMartinism, Rosicrucianism, etc.)
I think if a person opened the book with no idea of what the Qabbalah or Tree of Life is... they'd be very confused. He doesn't really explain even a rudimentary concept of what it's usefulness is as a symbol/image. For example, it might be a nice thing to preface to someone unfamiliar with the subject, "The tree of life can be a symbol of how we relate to the Divine. It can also be used to show how all forms of existence relate to each other." Instead he jumps right in. So if you are familiar with the Qabbalah, and a Freemason (or familiar with Freemasonry) it's easy to read through the book. If you aren't... it might be more challenging.
What I liked:
A. he does a great job of introducing the spiritual side of Freemasonry alongside other Western Mystery schools (The Golden Dawn, Martinist Orders, etc.)
B. His chapter on Gematria is wonderful - esp to a Mason, and/or Thelemite. Although he gives no info for Thelemites, Thelemites mightenjoy his analysis of certain terms such as the Gematria for "Let There Be Light". For Fellow Craft or Master Masons... his analysis of the number 1307 would be of interest. Very cool analysis on that.
C. His last page has a statement that should be on the first... "Ultimately, Qabbalah and Freemasonry are meant to be tools in aiding people in self discovery..."
D. His table of correspondences of Hebrew, Number and meaning seems spot on with what I learned in the Golden Dawn and elsewhere. Although I think Paul Foster Case does a better job.
E. This author has some good knowledge of various orders and I can see he's been influenced a bit by P.F. Case.
F. Mostly, what I liked was... the author gets the Freemason reader (the target audience) to start examining everything under the framework of a spiritual path (Qabbalah.) It inspired me to deepen my own understanding on the subject matter.
G. He has an understanding of Freemasonry globally... so he picks up symbols in the US and describes how they differ in Europe... but how they are also similar to an underlying current. Example is his explanation of the Junior Warden's regalia
That said, I do disagree with some of his analysis.
1. He utilizes the Alchemical Tree of Life (Kircher's diagram) which I believe is valid, but the author attributes it as the accurate tree. In mystery schools I've belonged to (i.e. Golden Dawn) the Alchemical tree and the standard tree are both utilized. The author here tries to just utilize this one single tree. The problem is, the Alchemical tree has isusses in the diagram... mainly Malkuth (earth) is associated with (Luna/moon) and Yesod becomes associated with Mercury. This changes the working relationship of Tipheret (Sun) and Yesod. Typically Yesod is associated with the Moon... so on the standard tree of life, we'd see Yesod as a reflection of Tipheret. But in the Alchemical tree, that' analysis is lost... While the Alchemical tree with different associations is of importance, I don't think it adiquately replaces the standard tree of life used in the Mystery schools.
2. He rearranges the standard conception of the trumps upon the paths of the tree. He does this by simply looking at some old decks and interpreting the image to the Hebrew letter (i.e. "the figure in the image looks like Shin... thus the Trump should be associated to Shin") and he uses the human body as aid in this analysis. However when I examine his use of the Tree of Life that he places over the image of the human body, his use of body parts is missaligned... he has the esophagus associated with with the path from Ketter to Binah and not from Ketter through Daat. I dont understand that... who's esophogus is laying on their shoulder??? :)
3. There are various ways of representing the Tree of Life and he doesn't cover it all. HE covers a concept of one tree... and of 40 trees... but not the 400 tree concept nor the unlimited tree within a tree concept. There are trees to represent the Human Body, Trees to represent alchemy, trees to represent psychology/emotions... but he focuses on one tree (the Alchemical) to the loss of all others, and forces connections where I think there is only weak analysis to connect them - but then, that's my humble opinion.
4. Finally, he has one more problem IMO. He claims to show various information given to initiates of Masonic degrees map well onto the Tree of Life... but in his analysis, he forms angles of 45 degrees... which to the intiate of the degrees he speaks of, would know their symbol is not 45 degrees (but 90 degrees) - that makes his analysis a quick "wrong"... so i dont think a 33 degree scottish rite mason would miss that simple fact... i think he's making an analysis that just doens't click and forcing it to fit - perhaps caught up in his own personal path.
Overall it's a small little book that's actually pretty good. I disagree with parts of his analysis, but I did enjoy it and I recomend it to any Freemason or to anyone following a Western Mystery Tradition.

Excellent book
By Zep
Another excellent book by Timothy Hogan with great explanations on how both the Qabbalistic Tree and Gematria apply to Masonic ritual and Biblical passages. This book is another must read for those on their philosophical journey, and required in any Masonic library.

This Ties Decades of Study Together Perfectly For Me!
By Delightened
I am a Freemason and I practice Masonry. I was an initiate of two well known Mystery Schools in the 80's and 90's when I lived in Chicago and Los Angeles. Now I am a small town Mason, and THE 32 PATHS OF SOLOMON is a fantastic synthesis of what I've learned in my past groups and what I've learned in my 3 Blue Lodge initiations! The old/new information about the 4th thru 10th spheres makes perfect sense to me. If you are a Mason who has dabbled or studied Qabbalah seriously, this little book is a treasure!
