    Jacques de Molay 700 years ago

    The "actual" historic Monastic Order (Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and the Temple at Jerusalem) headed by de Molay has nothing to do with Freemasonry. The appendant Order for Master Masons is just a "commemorative" Order there is no link.

    Explaining the "higher" degrees.

    The ONLY way to truly appreciate the position of the Appendant Degrees and Bodies is to become familiar with their actual (not legendary) histories. Then you will understand why they are not superior to the Craft but only additions. Sadly too many Freemasons who should know better buy into...

    Hi Dave there, is a protocol for visiting in another Grand Lodge's territory, unless you actually know a brother who will vouch for you. Your Lodge Secretary will make the arrangements for you. In the meantime you could also join an English discussion Forum like the one in my sig file below...

    I beg to differ that is (at least) the design of the registered patch of the UK Chapter of Widow's Sons Masonic Riders' Association and I would expect that they took it from their parent Chapter in the US. If you wanted to wear a Masonic buckle there are hundreds out there that are not linked...

    Clandestine Mason as Provincial Grand Master??

    The first one is covered in my post above, if he isn't a UGLE Freemason he cannot be an "anything" under the UGLE. The second is a contradiction of places and Ranks. No one can be a Provincial Grand anything in the Metropolitan Grand Lodge of London, we are Metropolitan Grand whatevers. East...

    Clandestine Mason as Provincial Grand Master??

    Oh yes and there is no Weston Jarvis on the register of members of Lodges under the UGLE. I suspect that whoever, is spreading the rumour doesn't understand that the "Masonic High Council" was a clandestine body started in England in 2005 which has absiolutely nothing to do with the UGLE other...

    Clandestine Mason as Provincial Grand Master??

    Hmm, in the hope of being helpful I submit the following: "first black J. G. Jones to become a recognized member and position holder of UGLE" there are and have been thousands of non-white members of the UGLE both here in England and Wales and obviously in our District Grand Lodges around the...

    Clandestine Mason as Provincial Grand Master??

    I'm sorry but the language used in your post makes no sense to an English Freemason. Can you point me to the source of your informaion so that I can see what is actually being claimed?

    Why would you want to be wearing the "colours" of a bike group with which you are not affilliated?

    How to Join

    The ONLY way to become a Free and Accepted Mason is to be accepted by a Lodge. So if a Lodge has rejected an applicant he would have to try again and if after 2 attempts has failed he would have to accept the fact.

    Greetings From Canada!

    Lucky man (for marying an English Rose), I hope you're not coming during the Summer months as the majority of English Lodges go dark for the Summer and non-Lodge based social events (Ladies' Nights, etc) hold sway. If you're going to be based in Chiswick you'll be in the territory of the...
