Masons from the Province of Yorkshire have not let an opportunity go to waste, and are assisting those who visit their loved ones in a hospital with items that might initially bring physical comfort.

The Secrets Of Freemasonry~ Given Away By The U.G.L.E.!!!

When my Google Alerts came up this morning, I was mortified to learn- from sources within the U.G.L.E., that Freemasonry has no secret handshakes, no mysteries left to discover, no nothing! In fact, it appears that the Brethren, as a whole, are embarrassed of their membership. Possibly they are just embarrassed of the their leadership in the United Grand Lodge?

At any rate, with no secrets…

Brother Bobby Burns & Auld Lang Syne… Happy New Year!

At midnight on New Year’s Eve (or 12:00 a.m. on New Year’s Day, depending on your point of view), we find ourselves mumbling through the words, or more often than not, mouthing words and humming the familiar melody, to the famous song Auld Lang Syne.The tune, which began life as a Robert Burns poem, has come to represent an ending, a circumstance of goodbye, a marker which brings about teary eyed…

Masonry, Christmas, & St. John the Evangelist

My home Lodge, Jackson Lodge #146, is famous for hosting a fabulous Feast Of St. John The Evangelist, usually on a Saturday evening in December closest to the Winter Solstice. Many things in Masonry are like that… having to do with the natural course of things, elements of our planet, the science of our Universe, and a never-ending quest for knowledge of ourselves, each other, the world in which…

Freemasonry? What Is It? ... It's A Well Founded Fraternity!!!

Freemasonry? What Is It? … It’s A Well Founded Fraternity!!!

While the multitude of volumes published on Freemasonry all serve a purpose, the bulk of what has been written over the last few hundred years has been extraneous glorification at best… and esoteric hogwash at worst. It… Freemasonry, is really very simple! It is a Fraternal Order, based on Tenets and Underpinnings which Endeavor to make Freemasons BETTER Men.

That’s it, in the proverbial nutshell.

Freemasonry In Cuba ~ An Article Worth Reading!

More Light In Masonry: From time to time, we come across articles that are simply too interesting and provocative to NOT share! Even though this was published a year ago, and much of it depicts life under the thumb of Fidel Castro’s Communist Regime, this is one such instance and I suppose that much of it still holds true today. The fact that our Gentle Craft flourished at all under Communism…

Las Vegas Shootings, Conspiracy Theories & Freemasonry... The Usual Rubbish

Las Vegas Shootings, Conspiracy Theories & Freemasonry… The Usual Rubbish

First of all, our condolences and prayers go out to the victims, families of victims, and our world at large in the wake of such a terrible tragedy. With that said, the usual suspects have turned up blaming not only a proliferation of guns in this country, but also of the “Illuminati” and Freemasonry symbolism and structure. Our response to the latter- Rubbish!

Even still, we learn from the…

Catholicism, Freemasonry, And Why I Don't Care!

Catholicism, Freemasonry, And Why I Don’t Care!

For centuries the Church of Rome has battled not only Freemasonry, but also other groups who have broken rank with the nonsense of the Vatican. Let us not forget that the Lutheran church was not always accepted as “normal”, and Martin Luther risked life and limb when nailing his Thesis (essentially admonishing Rome) to that doorway. Meanwhile, Freemasonry still labors in the shadows, and her…

The Blank Space In The Sentence

As members of the Free Masonic Fraternity, one of our constant worries seems to pivot around the notion of membership drives, membership retention… membership- whatever’s ! I have, and a great many others, written and spoken at length about the need to; more or less, let membership come as it may, and that to try to too hard… well, by trying to hard we might not be attracting the “right”…

Finally, Some "Real" History for the 300 Year Birthday Party!

Finally, Some “Real” History for the 300 Year Birthday Party!

Throughout the past several months, Freemasons the world over have been gearing up for the all-important Tercentenary Celebration of the founding of the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE). Somewhere in the middle of all of this, I began to feel as though we were celebrating ONLY the Institution, and not the many good men who have acted as the living stones that make up our Fraternity. Today, an…
