From the Quarries

Good evening Quarrymen

This weekend … In this contemplative and candid oration, Bro. D. O. Ryan challenges the Craft to reconsider the essence of Freemasonry not as a static inheritance but as a living, evolving science—a “Progressive Science” rooted in the perennial quest for truth. Bridging philosophy and ritual, he traces the intellectual lineage of Masonry from the mysteries of Asia Minor to its modern institutional form, arguing that its symbolic structure demands persistent study and self-reflection. Citing thinkers such as Judge Troward and invoking classical allegories, Ryan exposes the existential danger of superficial engagement and calls Masons to a deeper inquiry into the Craft’s inner mysteries. His essay is not merely a critique of apathy but a call to intellectual and spiritual revitalisation.
