    Chamber of Reflection, Alchemy and Christianity

    I have posted this elsewhere, but think it work discussing and each forum I belong to seems to have its own set of regulars...so thought I would, likewise post it here. Image is from: "The Secret Room of Alchemy and Magic" from _Reflections on the Ancient Myths with Consideration to...

    Felony Record

    Brother this information is the kind that causes a bit of a Red Herring when we have these talks, but is an honest mistake made by many. The real problem with a term like felony is that a lot of people don't understand what that means and there are a ton of urban legends and an even bigger pile...

    Felony Record

    I have heard a lot of what if scenarios. But a felony is a big deal, not a little one. If someone can not make it their whole life without a felony offense, even a little itty bitty when...well then they can't be a Mason in my book. They might be my friend, they might go to my church, they...

    Felony Record

    It should be noted that Masonry is not an entitlement. It is not something everyone who has made a positive change is entitled to. I would vote no on convicted felons. Although that same man would have my love and support in his community, I might hire him to do work, etc. But there are...

    Any Lodge in Egypt?!

    All things are possible and Masonry is alive and well. You just need to express an interest subtly in the right circles.

    GLNF: Stifani Won't Seek Second Term

    He got out right after he gutted it, destroyed it and ruined its legitimacy in the world. Just in the nick of time...

    Any Lodge in Egypt?!

    Masonry in the Islamic world is often illegal and therefore, very underground and secretive. You need a personal invitation and nobody is going to be able to invite based on internet knowledge only Pharaoh. Its to dangerous.

    Montana Grand Master Removed

    Very true. Speaking two years in a row to the Conference of GM's of North America I was actually heartened by our leadership. The majority were hardworking and loving men who desired to see the Craft grow, progress, and fulfill the lives of its members. Some, a very few, but still some...

    Montana Grand Master Removed

    I do. I am a voting member of Grand Lodge and the Chair of Grand Lodge Education for the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Colorado. The Grand Secretary and the Assistant Grand Secretary for instance created an unauthorized webpage defaming the Rocky Mountain Masonic Conference that would occur...

    Montana Grand Master Removed

    Re: 911 This issue is a bigger issue than the limited comments on this forum would allow and I think the Brethren are trying to post their support on one side of the issue or another without providing too much that would be improper. The Grand Lodge of Colorado was saddened to see the Grand...

    Montana Grand Master Removed

    Hey Daniel I think its fair to let the Brother know that you used to post here under the name Dion and that you are the Asst. Secretary of Montana in question.

    The future of Freemasonry???

    I am going to answer this one differently. There are oaths and obligations in Masonry, the penalties would be quite bloody if enacted. I am glad they are there. The history of them is potent and important. They are both alchemical and transformative in nature and need to be taken as a...

    What is the difference between af&am and f&am?

    With Prince Hall Affiliate lodges I always make sure they are just that when I visit. PHA. If the lodge is not a Prince Hall Affiliate, then it is likely considered irregular by PHA in Colorado. The way our agreement works in Colorado, we consider regular all PHA lodges considered regular by...

    What is the difference between af&am and f&am?

    Nope. They can be wildly different. Scotland is awesome in a way. They have the proof of the oldest existing speculative Masonry we know of...but they have always been fiercely independent and decided that even after 1717 they didn't need a Grand Lodge to do what they had been doing for a...

    What is the difference between af&am and f&am?

    The letter "A" is the difference. Arkansas is F&AM Alabama is F&AM Alaska is F&AM Arizona is F&AM California is F&AM Florida is F&AM Georgia is F&AM Hawaii is F&AM Kentucky is F&AM Louisiana, the Grand Lodge that gave birth to Texas is F&AM even though Texas is AF/AM Mississippi is F&AM Nevada...
