I just stumbled across this site http://www.secretsofmasons.com. Seems too good to be true to me - possibly another scam. Can anyone shed any info, or recommend buying the CDs?

I stumbled too, but since it's there, and we know it's there,
then whatever is there cannot be a "secret", categorically.

Don't spend money for information about Masonry.

You can get a lot of the real information, for free online.

This page has electronic editions of core texts
on Freemasonry in the public domain,
presented complete and unaltered.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/mas/index.htm

Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike
http://www.sacred-texts.com/mas/md/index.htm

The Symbolism of Freemasonry
by Albert G. Mackey
http://www.sacred-texts.com/mas/sof/index.htm

The Meaning of Masonry
by W.L. Wilmshurst
http://www.sacred-texts.com/mas/mom/index.htm

I have heard that

Morals and Dogma
by Albert Pike

is the main thing to read

as is almost anything by Albert Pike.

Another interesting and recommended reading is:
"The Secret Teachings of All Ages" by Manly P. Hall.

If you want to know the secrets of Freemasonry, or indeed of the New Age (the old age repackaged in an unstructured way for a new generation) or any other form of esoterics then, let me tell you how I did it....and it worked for me....but shuush its a secert............

.

.

. dont go telling just anyone now....

....

...........

Look into your own heart.

Everything you need to answer these, and many more questions, are to be found hidden in the drudgery of your daily routine life.

Remember every country has different branches of Freemaosnry that often dont get on very well and whose members often see different type s of books as being masonic - some may be deeply esoteric while others may be more interested in speech making, while some may indeed be using the masonic world as a cover, and others still may see freemasonry as being what what you would call nwo, while other masons would laugh at this for they have never come across it first hand. So using books to learn about freemaosnry is of limited value unless you are only interested in one fraternity in one location. Use your heart.

Total scam. As Lawrence Connor says, those books he is offering on CD are all in the public domain and can be downloaded for free from Google Books and Archive.org, which is probably where he got most of them in the first place. All you have to do is Google any of the titles he is offering.

In fact, most of those books can be found online in one place here: http://www.phoenixmasonry.org
