In 1926 Charles Webster Leadbeater published "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" for the handful of Masons aiming to understand the true occult-theosophical workings of Freemasonry.

Leadbeater reveals how the Masonic ritual is a scientific way of energizing the Masonic lodge and its faithful members so as to bring about an attunement with the Great White Lodge.

"The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" develops key aspects of Freemasonry: History of Masonry; The Lodge; The Fittings of the Lodge; Preliminary Ceremonies; The Opening of the Lodge; Initiation; The Second Degree; The Third Degree; The Higher Degrees; Two Wonderful Rituals; Closing the Lodge.
