Imagine Dan Brown on Steroids! Modern occultist and freemason Lon DuQuette reveals the most dangerous secret in the world, the blasphemous heresy that undermines millennia of superstition. This carefully guarded knowledge once caused the medieval Knights Templar to stamp upon a Crucifix to redeem fallen humanity. Learn the Masonic teaching by which the human spirit may be elevated
without ignoring either historical reality or scientific fact.

This intriguing look at intersections between Freemasonry and the Western magical traditions will be sure to evoke outrage from many quarters, but it poses crucial questions that deserve close attention from Masons, magicians, and anyone else concerned with the nature of religion and reality in a postChristian age.

A spoonful of humor helps the Mysteries go down in the most delightful way. It is a very rare treat when someone can lay out the secrets of the universe in a clear and user-friendly way and manage to make me laugh while doing it. Lons writing spans the seeming abyss between occult education and pop entertainment, finding the dark and fascinating heart of these timeless mysteries and helping the reader transmute them into a better understanding of this arcane temple known as the universe. In The Key to Solomons Key, Lon brings his unique insight and eerie authority to bear on what might be the most dangerous and inflammatory occult secret of all time. This book is sure to bring Lon to the forefront of an evolving new plateau of understanding about our own past, present and future. Also, I wouldnt stand next to him in any open market or public gathering places for awhile ...

As the master transformer of dense esoteric literature into terrifically accessible and interesting nonfiction, author Lon Milo DuQuette in The Key to Solomons Key: Secrets of Magic and Masonry, gives us his best offering to date. Here we are guided on a first-hand tour through the inner sanctums of so-called Solomonic Magic. Uniquely, the view is highly trustworthy coming as it does from an actual practitioner and scholar of the subject matter involved; DuQuette just happens to be a wonderful storyteller to boot. Included are the connective tissues of early Christianity, the Knights Templars, Freemasonry, Kabbalah, Hermeticism, Alchemy, and Magic. In The Key to Solomons Key, the reader is always treated respectfully with the reasoned insights of a modern investigator of truth and consciousness. The cheaper sort of phantasmagoria that often follows popular occult myths is exorcised out of this highly credible and readable accounting. The book, however, carries a ticking religious time-bomb of historic proportions just waiting to explode. The implications for our times are provocative. Arthur Rosengarten, Ph.D.

For those of us lacking the resources to excavate occult secrets hidden beneath the Louvre, CIA Headquarters or Rosslyn Chapel, The Key to Solomons Key is the next best thing. These pages reveal the true secrets of Solomon, from Masonry to magic. Lon Milo DuQuettes experience and learning make this fascinating journey through the history of the Bible, Knights Templar, Freemasons, and the Goetia all the more striking because it is real. Add Mr. DuQuettes inimitable wit and wisdom, and you have a genuine page-turner. While the reader of this book probably wont be kidnapped, shot or chased around the world, the Most Dangerous Secret in the World will be revealed. What could be more exciting than that? Read this book now before They get to it first!

Brenda Knight
author of Rituals for Life
Lon Milo DuQuette takes us on an exciting odyssey into the nefarious deeds of the medieval Church in their attempts to silence what could become the greatest revelation of the 21stcentury but has been kept intentionally silenced for over a millennium. A real page-turner!
