ESSAYS on
Mystic Buffaloism
These small essays have been written amid the pressure f professional duties; and, although I have only given you a drop in the bucket as it were, still it will take away the slur that some uncultivated brothers give us as a reason for their non attendance at our lodges, namely: “that there is nothing in our Order”.
Knowledge gathered from rubbish is not truth, but is delusive. Knowledge must be illuminated by wisdom in order to know the truth. The soul is the real you, and is that which thinks; so aim deliberately, to think for yourselves, make your mind your real servant and don’t allow it to be your master, then our lodges will soon be refined, and purity of thought will bring out character; and if our Primo’s will aim for the best in the order, intelligent people will join.

Now I am not responsible for the allegorical or symbolical veiling of our ritual, because both were done before my time as a student.
I can only deal with them in the same way that other students have dealt with them, namely, not to disclose too
much of the riddles of the universe to the eyes of the profane who, in all probability would only make mischief were they entrusted with the knowledge and power only intended for the wise; consequently they are hidden behind allegorical and symbolical veils. Therefore, if we are practical brothers, we must take them as they are written, and endeavour to understand them as they are presented to us; and before we alter anything let us be sure they are placed in the hands of practical brothers. I now write for those in our Order who desire enlightenment.
In the first place, let me take you on a journey to the oldest city in the world, namely, Bismaya, in Assyria, about 10,000 years back. There the excavators have found two official seals, representing a buffalo depicted couchant, seated as human and erect on its hind legs. These seals, in short, show you that Buffaloism entered largely into state craft of that remote period.
