It should be mentioned that there are American "regular" Grand Lodges that don't accept anything Prince Hall as regular. Including one of the oldest and most historically significant GLs, the GL of South Carolina does not recognize Prince Hall of any variety. So it's probably best to not paint...

Not regular in your jurisdiction Brother, they are regular in theirs.

I have many Brothers who are PHO. Great men and Masons every one. In PHO they do things a little different. It takes years to go from an EA to a Master Mason. There is a ton of studying and work a Brother has to do in PHO. They are very rigorous in their degree education and are very much...

I remember when GL of MN recognized GLdF, IMHO MN should have held the line on that one. I think there is in general less female Masonry around the country has to do with just the lack of even knowing such a thing exists. The co and female jurisdictions, even my own do a terrible job at...

Looks like my old jurisdiction is leading a charge of being brotherly to co and female Masons. Welcomed certainly by me. It makes sense for a state like California to have a more accepting and liberal grand lodge. I am of the opinion that some day full acceptance of female Masons will come and...

Tons of really well done articles. The pieces on the work of the Craft are very good. We need more of this. Excellent work. https://bloguniversalfreemasonry.wordpress.com/

The GL of California considers me released from their obligation as well. I haven't spammed anything. I have responded to threads of interest and I have posted a few that I think of interest and others might think the same. I wasn't aware that this is a tyled lodge. There is no requirement...

I literally chose to share in my child's journey in the Craft. Best decision of my life. You do you bro.

I'm not trying to convince you anything about LDH. Your opinion of LDH has no affect on LDH and it certainly won't keep me from going to lodge. That's a you problem bro.

You're really good at shaking your fist at clouds.

Love you too brah.

I have been diving into St.Martin and Pasqually lately. I'm learning and I would love to hear from some brothers more experienced than I. Those just starting their journey like me would be good to hear from too.

I have heard of this before, I think it is a PHA thing. Anyway, I am 100% against this sort of thing.

The "real" Masonic group is one who prioritizes ritual efficacy, in my definition anyway. As far as jurisdictions not mine I don't tend to worry about it. They don't want me in their lodges, I don't want to be in their lodges. Works well for both of us. In an ideal world we would all be a big...

In the movie U Turn by Oliver Stone the character Jake McKenna wears a Masonic ring.

Freemasonry and Kabbalah emerge from different historical and cultural worlds, yet they meet on common ground: the symbolic quest for inner transformation. Both traditions use layered symbolism, sacred geometry, and ritual progression to describe humanity’s ascent toward wisdom, balance, and...

No, I was a member of the GL of California at that time. I visited PHO quite a bit and I have good memories. I still have many PHO brothers, all fine and upstanding Masons and men.

It was made clear to me that I am no longer a member in my old GL or subject to their Masonic discipline. Even if I was what are they going to do? Kick me out? I already left.

Freemasonry is often described as a system of morality veiled in allegory, but beneath that familiar phrase lies a deeper current that has quietly flowed through certain rites and traditions for centuries: theurgy. In its simplest sense, theurgy is sacred work—ritual action intended not merely...
