Synopsis
The Society of Free & Accepted Masons, which is better known to the world as The Freemasons, has been in existence for nearly three centuries. Since their official public beginning, they have spread their Craft to every country on the face of the earth, except for within those territories whose suspicious governments outlaw them. Society members include some of the most powerful men of their time. Yet, most do not know what the origin of the Organization truly is or how to accurately describe what its members do. By applying Masonic Forensics to existing Craft evidence, Brother John S. Nagy carefully fossicked through and found long ignored Craft Light. His findings lift away the many Masterfully placed Masks that have concealed Masonry’s true origin since it first became known to the public. Through his work, The Craft UNMASKED! The UNCOMMON ORIGIN of FREEMASONRY and its PRACTICE, John invites you into the cleverly hidden world of Freemasonry and reveals the origin of the Society and what its true Craft is. It is history of which even its members remain blissfully unaware, that is, until now.
Review
Being a Mason, I devoured this book in three days. And being like so many Masons the world over, perplexed as to the true historical origin of our Craft and Freemasonry Ritual, I couldn't wait to get to the core of what the author presented. Brother John S. Nagy simply stunned me with his findings. The analytical research he compiled backs up his claims so logically that it's hard to refute. What he sheds a spotlight on simply makes sense if you are a member of this fraternity, have gone through the three degrees, and have expected so much more but now find yourself sitting through boring business meetings at lodge. In a clearly understandable writing style of short chapters and short bursts of information, Nagy answered many questions and disillusionments I've had since joining Freemasonry over a decade ago. Good men join to improve themselves, to better their character, to become self-reliant, self-sufficient, self-regulated, to learn moral lessons and apply them to their time as players on the stage of life. Now I know why Freemasonry struggles with retaining its membership and how much work a Brother truly must put into his own personal "Mysteries." Bro.

I just finished it. What I think is that it is the most profound Masonic writing that I have had the privilege of reading to date. It brings everything in to perspective. It both simplifies the Craft, and makes it more meaningful at the same time. Thank you! -- Bro. Chris Bonner --Bro. Chris Bonner
Brother Nagy, you continue to amaze with your uncommon look at our fraternity. Your latest work, THE CRAFT UNMASKED is deeply informative, and inspiring to those who have found themselves adrift upon an expansive sea of Masonic myth without a compass to guide them past that preverbal rock, and a hard place.
