The intent for this issue of Fraternal Review is to build on the articles from the April 2021 issue to further expand the readers’ knowledge of Freemasonry’s connections with the Kabbalah and the connections of both with Geometry.
John Michael Greer stated, “In ancient, medieval, and Renaissance times, geometrical forms and relationships were seen as an expression of the deep, archetypal structure of reality, and students of geometry were taught to experience geometric processes as the unfolding, in space and time, of spiritual realities.”
This is also true of Freemasonry. As Masons, we are given the task to “seek further Light” in pursuit of greater knowledge. I hope this issue will add more signposts along the path of your Masonic journey.

Cover story
Albert Mackey gives us the foundations of Kabbalah; its meaning, its structure, and its manifestation as the archetypal man.
Judaism, Freemasonry, and Changing Kabbalah
Drawing on the work of Ernst Muller, Bro. Angel Millar explores the relationship of the Jewish theosophical system to Freemasonry and Western esotericism.
The Geometry of Creation
Bro. Mark Poliner contemplates sacred geometry from Euclid, through Noah’s Ark and the Temple of Solomon of the Old Testament, to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
Q&A
Author Bro. Timothy Hogan talks Kabbalah (or “Qabbalah”) and the gnostic sciences: Why there are different spellings of the Hebrew word, why Masons should be interested in Kabbalah, and what we should study for deeper knowledge.
The Tetractys
Rooted in ancient Greek culture and later adopted into Kabbalah, where it was given a new layer of meaning, Bro. Tony Gilbert explores this enigmatic symbol and its relevance to Freemasonry.
Final Word
Bro. Albert Pike reminds us of the basic elements of Kabbalah: an alphabet, numbers, letters, and symbols.
