    More than A Fraternity

    More than A Fraternity

    This week, we've got an excellent piece from humorist writer "Bull" Garlington--but it's a rather serious listen. Then, an article on the original change to the fraternity. Who made Masonry something it isn't? The answer might have you reflecting. Finally, we wrap it up with a significant segment from Mark St. Cyr for Education Application. Don't miss it! Thanks for listening, and have a fantastic week!

    We Shot Ourselves in the Foot!

    We Shot Ourselves in the Foot!

    Join us this week for some history on Labor Day. We've also got a great piece discussing our Brothers who love Freemasonry in the Summer...What are they to do in the Dark? Then, we wrap it up with the first in a series of articles from Ill. Bro. Harrison on the story of Anti-Masonry. Was it the church or ourselves that's to blame? The answer may surprise you. Thanks for listening, and have a fantastic week!

    That Stupid Atheist?

    That Stupid Atheist?

    Join us this week for an exploration of those famed words within our old documents--"The Stupid Atheist." In it, we'll look at the misnomers, misrepresentations, and interesting arguments about it all. We've also got Brother Mark St. Cyr back this week for another fantastic segment--this week--accountability. Thanks for listening, and have a fabulous week!

    Past Master Irrelevance

    Past Master Irrelevance

    This week we're talking about what happens after the East--Sure we've read tons of great information about what to do when you're going into the Master's chair, but what can we say about leaving it? We've also got Patrick Dey stopping by for another great Masonic Mythbusters segment. Where do we get those wild notions of a trial by the elements in some rituals? Lastly, we'll give some brand-new information about Masonic Con Chicago 2023! Thanks for listening and have the best week ever!

DrDanks ,

Great show!

Thank you Brother Robert! Masonry in Michigan is struggling a bit. Looking to make it better and this helps. Would love to talk to you some day.

Facts not Opinions ,

Background Music Distracting

The content is amazing but at some point the show decided to play music in the background while talking which is extremely distracting and eventually caused me to stop listening. It’s a shame because this was my favorite podcast.

Festive Board

I enjoyed this episode. Our lodge last year started a new tradition of holding quarterly festive boards, and they have been a welcome addition to our annual program of events. Our junior warden picks four different restaurants for our back tie dinners, and we all gather there for fellowship, great food, and a round of toasts.

Note — in your discussion on tarot, I wonder if perhaps the reference to the “archetype of ideas” is a reference to Plato’s world of forms — the underlying reality. Just a thought.
