This important and highly regarded work explores the deep symbolism, history, and development of Royal Arch Masonry — often referred to as the “root, heart and marrow” of Freemasonry.
Author and Freemason Duncan Moore offers a fresh and scholarly look at the Royal Arch Degree, tracing its origins, evolution after the Union of the Grand Lodges in 1813, and its central role in Craft Freemasonry. The book provides detailed insights into:
The historical and symbolic foundations of the Royal Arch
The structure and purpose of the degree
The roles of its officers
How it is practised in various parts of the world
Written with clarity and depth, this book also includes guidance for new and experienced Companions on how to get the most from their Chapter experience.
Duncan Moore was a respected Masonic scholar with decades of service and involvement across multiple jurisdictions, including England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium, and Cyprus. This work is published in his memory following his passing shortly after completing the manuscript.
A must-read for any Companion or Freemason seeking to understand the true spiritual and symbolic heart of the Royal Arch.
