EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Precursors of Freemasonry: the Luciferians" takes us back to the mysterious world of secret societies in the 19th century. Created by a French School artist, this print is an illustration for Leo Taxil's book "Les Mysteres de la Franc-Maconnerie Devoiles" (The Mysteries of Freemasonry Revealed), published around 1885. Intriguingly, the image depicts a group of men dressed in elaborate costumes engaged in a ritualistic ceremony. The scene exudes an aura of secrecy and fascination as these individuals are believed to be part of the precursor group that eventually led to the formation of Freemasonry. Their devotion and worship seem directed towards an idol representing Lucifer, adding an element of darkness and mysticism. The engraving offers a glimpse into the rituals and practices associated with this secretive society during medieval times. It highlights their distinctive dress code, intricate rites, and ceremonial worship. The presence of devil symbolism suggests a connection between Freemasonry and occult beliefs prevalent at that time. As we delve into this artwork, it becomes evident that it serves as both historical documentation and artistic interpretation. It invites us to ponder upon questions surrounding religion, power dynamics, and hidden knowledge within secret societies like Freemasonry. Overall, this thought-provoking print transports us back in time while leaving room for our imagination to explore the enigmatic world depicted within its intricate details.
