    I am a Master Mason from in Johnstown. I was ecstatic to know that Masters #5 approaches the process the same as we do. Although you have some different methods. Still the same. I have been listening to the podcast for awhile and I love it. Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to more content.

  • First Rate Podcast !!!

    Excellent subject matter and very professional sounding. I am from Indiana and really enjoy being able to hear about New York Masonry. One if my favorite facets of the craft is how we can all be striving for the same end goal but every jurisdiction does it o’ so subtlety different. Keep up the good work brother. Cheers

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bro. Angel Millar — Supernatural Woman and the Male Inititate
Q: Where do you see a supernatural woman in Freemasonry? Where's the correlation there?
The answer discusses how Freemasonry emphasizes cultivation of character and that the supernatural woman can appear in dreams or life as a reward or guide when one lives with courage, virtue, and responsibility, rather than as a literal presence.
Bro. Olivier Prado — Craft Papers
Q: What makes Craft Papers different from traditional, short talks or bulletins?
It emphasizes research-driven, substantive content rather than generic talks, with options for customized papers and ongoing discussion, aiming to elevate the quality and engagement of lodge education.
Bro. Olivier Prado — Craft Papers
Q: How did Craft Papers originate and what gap does it fill in lodge education?
Craft Papers grew from a European tradition of Masonic papers and a founder's efforts to collect and share papers so brothers could build more informed, meaningful lodge education; the platform also offers customization and a forum for discussion to expand the educational value.
WB Cesar Rubio — Masonic Muscle: The Origins Wars
Q: Why did you choose the term Origins War for the series, and what did you want listeners to take away from framing it as a battle of ideas?
The term captures how different theories compete for prominence; studying these ideas helps members understand the breadth of Freemasonry's history and why no single origin story fully captures what the craft has become.
Bro. Franklin Rings — Divesting Vices: A Stoics Approach
Q: So as a Stoic with a huge background, what comes to mind when considering vice, and what would your answer be to that question?
Vices are identified and confronted through disciplined self-awareness; the process of divesting is ongoing, using working tools as metaphors to shape behavior and maintain balance between extremes.
