IF any of you watch AXStv formerly HDNet, commentator Michael "The Voice" Schiavello is a Freemason and according to his Wiki:"Schiavello became a Freemason in 2009, joining Balwyn-Deepdene Lodge No. 275 where he was raised to a Master Mason in 2010, before switching to Daylite Lodge No. 44 upon his relocation to the US"

I was reading about a fighter that was killed in a hit and run over the weekend and Schiavello tweeted:"So so so sad to hear of the passing of my Freemason Brother @RyanJimmo ... God's finger touched him and he slept... RIP my Brother. So sad" That made me do some research and it wasn't hard to find his Wiki. @Bloke can you confirm that he was raised in Australia?

Also according to his twitter he is the WM of Daylite #44

Yes, I'm not sure I met him, but have visited his mother lodge in Victoria. He's been featured in member profiles on UGLV material and I've read he's stiĺl active in the States in that lodge. He's still a MM but strikes me as the sort of bloke who will take the chair.

100% confirmed he was initiated in Australia

(edited to fix typo of "rake the" to "take the chair"...)

My lodge is in Las Vegas, Nevada. We use Nevada ritual, which has many similarities with CA ritual ... but the differences between our ritual and ritual used in UGLV is very very different... I had to learn all over again!

I watched the video. If I'm understanding correctly, it is a self help book for non-Masons using Masonic teachings?

It is for Masons and non-Masons alike. Masons will get a very very deep insight into many Masonic symbols, and non-Masons will be able to read how these symbols can be used in daily life to improve life in general.

Different signs and words ?

 

[Michael Schiavello]

Words are same. Signs vary a little, especially EA sign. Also in USA we use the due guard before the sign. So a few differences.

Thanks.

I'm not sure I've actually seen NSW signs - but have a few QLD Freemasons kicking around - all use due guard. The most different ones I've seen are from Brazil, quite different...
