RR Pod E14 P2 Stewart Clelland: Freemasons, The Green Book of the Élus Coëns & Gnostic Reintegration

In Part 2, Stewart offers a rich and very detailed discussion of the aristocratic elite group of the Élus Coëns. He discusses their formation, their Gnostic (world-hating) beliefs, their rituals, why the group dispersed and how it morphed into what is now known as Martinism. Stewart also discusses the underlying nationalism that seems to accompany Masonic research and what can be done to combat this. In closing, Stewart talks a bit about how the grimoire was found, and why it took so long to be able to access it for translation purposes.PROGRAM NOTESStewart's new book, The Green Book of the  Élus Coëns , offers an insight into a masonic society called  The Order of Knight-Mason Elect-Cohens of the Universe, one of the most elite and esoteric groups within masonic societies. The book is an English translation of the grimoire that this group used.
