“The Lost Ritual: The Retranslated Bonseigneur Rituals”
Translation by Josef Wäges

‘The Lost Ritual: The Retranslated Bonseigneur Rituals’ is a very rare, early collection of 18th-century French (West Indies) Masonic rituals, meticulously retranslated by Josef Wäges to offer an accurate understanding and appreciation of them. They are the source of later French-inspired rituals, from Étienne Morin to the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The ground-breaking Introduction examines the role of these rituals, why they found their way to Louisiana, and the answers they give to all Freemasonry. The work explores the development of early Louisiana Masonry and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The rituals are offered as photographic reproductions, French transcriptions, and English translations. This 540-page, large-format collection is a valuable resource for the study of early Masonic rituals. Translation and Introduction by Josef Wäges, Foreword by Michael R. Poll.

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought I'd share a sneak peek of the cover for a book I'm releasing next month. The Haunted French Quarter Tour: A New Orleans Paranormal Mystery is the fourth installment in the New Orleans Paranormal Mystery series focusing this time on Jared Breslin, the youngest member of the very psychic Breslin clan.

What do you do when the ghosts won't stay where they belong?

Alina Shea has too many secrets for a girl just starting college in New Orleans. One big one is that she is getting a crush on the tall blond guy in her Communications class. Another is that she's a gifted psychic struggling with her burgeoning gifts.

Jared Breslin is unique. He comes from a family of profound psychics but doesn't like to advertise it. He's confused by the lovely green-eyed girl from his college class, and even more confounded when he's drafted by his mom to es**rt her and her best friend on a ghost tour through the French Quarter. In itself, that shouldn't be a big deal, but Jared has sensitivities that make him different from everyone else, or so he believes.

But the bigger problem is that something unnatural is going on in the French Quarter. Something is stirring up its restless spirits. And Alina and Jared are about to be drawn against their will into a dangerous mystery that might require all of the Breslin clan to get them out of. #

Freemasons and Rosicrucians – The Enlightened
