One addendum to this thread: This symbol is also the clan crest of the Clan Stewart/ Stuart (if you are a dethroned scotts king). I don't know the meaning of this allusion, just pointing it out.

There is only one issue before us in Texas, that is whether or not to extend full recognition and visitation rights to our Prince Hall Brothers. I cant help but notice that it's not on the agenda. All of these resolutions are frivolous and do nothing to improve retention or expansion. Every one...

1. Earn a Past Masters Jewel 2. Join the Royal order of Scotland. 3. See the " auld degree" at Killwinning #0. *. Proficiently inculcate the tenants into every facet of my life

Which Prince Hall Grand Lodge are we talking about? There are so many here in Texas. Some, require the East to be "purchased", (after all it is a full time and well paid job), therefore establishing one brother who may not give up his seat for decades. It may be acceptable to create a set of...

The Stewart Hunting tartan is the Boyd tartan, so named from a famous painting of James the second. The painting is of the monarch with dogs and horses and Dean castle in the background, Boyd tartan on his horse. It was a favorite hunting ground of the Stewarts for many generations and the home...

I cant resist chiming in on this, as it is something I feel quite strongly about. The full form fellowcraft lecture is the Meat and Potatoes of Masonry! It is many times more beautiful and meaningful to the brother being passed than the stripped down lecture. There is a certain Past Master of my...

politics. the Grand Masters edict concerning the widows sons, combined with the B.S. with the directors staff has decimated our lodge.

True, but.......the tastiest morsels of knowledge are lost inside of some rather obscure books. It might be awhile still before all of these books are scanned into a format where they can be accessed freely, and most alchemical books never will be. I am so lucky that I live in downtown Dallas...

http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/grandlodge/trademark.html The Square and Compasses IS trademarked!! Jay-Z either Has permission to use it from some Grand lodge that is part of the claim or he is subject to a lawsuit. The Grand Master of Texas masons could feel free to file the cease and decist order...

.... And another shout out to my fellow lodge brother from Metropolitan. True Widow is the band and here is their new release is called "As High As The Highest Heavens and From the Center to The Circumference Of The Earth" you'd better like to Rock though...

Since someone brought up masonic inspired music, I would like to shamelessly promote my new recording with my band Homespun Remedies. This is our second full length album of original songs, some of which I either wrote or co-wrote. It is available on cdbaby and itunes as well as almost every...

Metro elections are next week. Barring any shenanigans from the peanuts, I will be nominated for the duties of Tiler

Regularity is defined by the descent of charter, and where that first charter came from. Most Grand Lodges in the south descend from charters from the ancient English Grand Lodge. Some, like Pennsylvania, descend from Scottish Lodges. Killwinning Lodge for example, chartered many early lodges...

I use a Mach 3, only because they stopped making the mach 2 blades (the pinnacle of shaving technology). Neutrogena shave cream and after shave balm. In the last few years I have been shaving in the shower, a most efficient improvement to the routine. I have an old steel straight razor that I...

In this hypothetical situation, Are they offering to turn in their Grand Charter, and come in under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Texas, and agreeing to abide by the Laws there-of? Then Yes, absolutely.

Parting on the square means Meet Me at Harrys Past Time Tavern for some Bud light and a rack of 8 ball. Its a good rule

Genealogy being one of my favorite hobbies, I have a family tree that is solid back to the advent of surnames. The Boyd clan being related to the Stuart Kings is a very researched line. I descend directly from Adam Boyd of Portencross the uncle of William Boyd Earl of Kilmarnock and Grand Master...

Highland Park lodge is hosting a Domino tournament sometime in February, that got me to thinking. How but a Poker night. Something like a $20 buy in, winner gets a trophy. We'd have to do it off property, to provide coctails. Sell handrolled cigars, etc.

I too was raised just this year in April and was made Senior Steward for the current year. I have made myself available to the officers in line and hope to continue my progression to the East. I like Dave in Waco consider myself to be motivated, and am doing the work required. We have several...
