This week’s video seeks to address one of the problems I’ve encountered in publishing Masonic content online – responding to the inevitable comments from those who dislike or mistrust the Craft for whatever reason.

In 1925 a wise old Freemason asked a question of 50 of the most notable figures in American society – What is the Most Important Problem We Are Facing Today? – The answers are informative, not only of the social and moral concerns of world affairs a century ago, but also have a relevance to…

2 new videos this week! Part 1 and Part 2 of Hippolyta da Costa’s 1820 ‘The Dionysian Artificers’ are now on YouTube and the website. This is a fascinating early look at the esoteric side of Freemasonry, written 80 years before this type of work became something of a cottage industry at the turn of…

Good evening Quarrymen It’s been a big Masonic week for me. Last weekend I was asked if I would accept elevation to the 31st degree AASR (a very emphatic ‘Yes!’) and last night I was installed as TIM for the first time in my Chapter. With my Masonic juices therefore flowing freely, this weekend’s video…
