The Key to Solomon's Key: Is This the Lost Symbol of Masonry?

By: Lon Milo DuQuette

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Sketching out a fascinating network of historic figures, cults, and Christendom, this book by an occult-studies expert and respected authority on magic and sorcery takes Western spiritual traditions seriously—but examines them with common sense and self-effacing humor. Working backward from the Freemasons to one of their original orders, the 14th-century Knights Templar, the account considers sorcery, heresy, and intrigues; explores the legend that the Knights possessed a powerful secret dangerous to the Church of Rome; and finds an essential clue to the order's practices in their connection to the biblical Solomon, king of Israel in the 10th century BC. This updated edition features new images, chapters on important symbols, and a new preface.

Narration is unlistenable

Apparently nobody stopped to realize the crummy text to speech they used for this would read EVERY word on the page, so the text is frequently interrupted with parenthetical citations. footnotes, illustrations captions, etc. The cadence of the voice is also completely off, so sometimes it'll break a word in half and make it sound like a new sentence is starting, eg instead of saying "hisory" it'll pronounce it "his. Story" Terrible because I like the book.
