Reddit reviews The Temple Legend : Freemasonry and Related Occult Movements

I am also a Texas Mason... and I found that my mother lodge rushed through all of that mostly because none of the master's of the lodge had any actual understanding of the symbols or their meaning.

They sure knew what to say, but for most of them, masonry was just a place to hang out with some guys and have some beers after.

It was not until I started my Rosicrucian training that the symbols of masonry had any actual meaning.

I left my mother lodge to join a lodge that really focused on the esoteric meaning of the esoteric work.

I highly recommend Freemasonry and Ritual Work: The Misraim Service by Rudolf Steiner and The Temple Legend : Freemasonry and Related Occult Movements by Rudolf Steiner if you want a real understanding of the meaning behind everything contained in the lectures and degrees.
