I'm finding that the older guys are opening up to the more esoteric aspects of the craft that usually get overlooked. Sent From My Freemasonry Pro App

Hey brethren, glad to be back. As in use the mobile version of this forum, I had an issue due to my phone being wiped out, and I intelligently didn't back my phone up. When I went to download this app again, I was informed that it magically had been priced to $1.99 (cough) Anyway I just got...

Except the Masons. They're all kinds of evil!

Be like a sponge. Soak up everything.

I wouldn't say it's implausible, in until 1960, everyone thought Columbus was the first European to come to the new world, until the Viking settlements in Labrador were found. I believe they are 1000 years older than the first settlements established by Columbus and his cohorts.

Very nice!

"So...I have a question. Would you recommend that I petition this house before I petition AASR? I am very interested in both. I would like to do both, but I want to get as much as I can out of them before doing another." • From what I understand, the York rite completed the story of the temple...

"You will really enjoy the degrees! They fill in a lot of gaps and sort of bring the story together!" • From what it sounds like they are some pretty impressive degrees. I can't wait to receive them. Im wondering, these are the last of the degrees that involve the temple, and the next degrees...

"Handing my petition in for further light tomorrow." • into which rite?

"Honestly, WS, I don't know the particulars regarding Utah's Grand bodies, though I assume they are a part of the Grand Chapter, so technically part of the York "rite." I know a founding member (and PGM) from another forum, I'll try to get some more info from him in the near future." • thanks...

"They talk about this just prior to the conferring of the degree. A lot of relates back to the Great Schism in England as well as the influence of Thomas Smith-Webb and his famous monitor of 1797." • cool, I look forward to hearing about this. Thanks brother.

"under the GL of Utah." • So does the York still confer that degree also in Utah?

"This isn't a spoiler alert, but here is the chronological order of the degrees and orders:" • This might be a dumb question, but why not confer them in that order? It seems confusing that you have to be a MM to get degrees that relate to FC.

"There is a MMM Lodge in Utah, as well." • Under a GL of MMM?

Thx.

"Umm yeah I guess you could make that connection a bit, but not as much as, say, the early Chapter degrees. " • Cool. I'm just gonna wait and see. Mark Master is one of my favorites though. It's interesting how the Mark Man and Mark Master are governed by their own Grand Lodges in Britain and I...

What's the name?

Thanks brothers, I am very excited. The brother who gave me the petition is my mentor, and he's got an apron that he's giving me at no charge, which is awesome. Without getting into details as I don't want any spoilers but, I hear the FC degree has a place in this set of degrees.

Well said brother.

"It's coming along well but it feels extremely slow lol. I met last week at the lodge with my cousin (not during a meeting day) and we talked and filled out the application form and the WM and the Secretary were both present and vouched for us on our applications. I must admit, it felt great...
