Book Description
The principles of Freemasonry are universal and relevant for everyone, whether you are a Mason or not. In "A Masonic Journey" the author covers the application of Masonic philosophy in everyday life. The book weaves together storytelling and traditional instructive prose to lay out a Masonic Life Journey for Masons and non-Masons alike. This book's primary focus is on the practical application of Freemasonry and its moral philosophy. A practical and pragmatic approach is used to discuss symbolism and the use of allegory so that those that are not interested in all the often whimsical mystical layers of the Craft, can still benefit from its teachings.

A Traditional Observance Lodge
Author: Cliff Porter
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780615802350
Category : Freemasonry
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The author's home lodge is different. They suffer from higher than 100% attendance, men wait periods of longer than a year to get initiated, they have never lost a single Entered Apprentice, they have nobody on the roles who is NPD or has been dropped for NPD. Men arrive on lodge days at 8:00 a.m. and are often reluctently leaving for home near midnight or 2:00 a.m. Their dues are high by American standards, the background check is rigorous, and the initiations are solemn and serious. Every lodge meeting is treated as an event and celebrated as such. Dinner is treated as a feast with all its positive connotations. Freemasonry is celebrated in every aspect of the lodge. From the artwork, the furnishings, the set up and the atomosopher; all aspects of the lodge meeting are intentional and meant to create an experience. The Lodge is a Traditional Observance Lodge or T.O. Lodge as it is called by some. Like all labels, the Traditional Observance label has caused fear and fright, anger and frustration, confusion, and edicts. It has also helped to define the practices that make the author's lodge one of the most successful lodges in the United States by any standard one might choose to measure it. This book does not claim to provide a Masonic magic pill for the ailing lodges of the world. Nor does it claim in any fashion or form that the way this author's lodge operates is the only way or the best way to operate. What this book does is explain the the Traditional Observance model and encourages ideas in the area of increasing the lodge experience and allowing quality to become the watchword over every aspect of Freemasonry. The writings contains a mixture of personal experiences, practicle advice, and real life examples for creating a Traditional Observance lodge or increasing your lodges fulfillment.

Over the years the Revd Neville Barker Cryer has delivered many lectures to Lodges throughout the country.

The Transformation of Freemasonry
Author: David Harrison
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781845494377
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The Transformation of Freemasonry looks at how Freemasonry in England and Wales adapted after the Unlawful Societies Act of 1799, and how the Craft became tinted with the stigma of Revolution, only to transform itself in the Victorian period to become the most enduring and enigmatic of secret societies. Harrison delves into Masonic links with the slave trade, especially in Liverpool and the Trans-Atlantic links with the USA, and discusses the mysterious Liverpool Masonic Rebellion and the Wigan Grand Lodge. Harrison also looks at how Freemasonry transformed itself during the 19th century, and how the Craft began to appeal to Victorian Occultists. This fascinating new book is a must for any reader who enjoyed Harrison's first book The Genesis of Freemasonry, and will be enjoyed by both Freemasons and general readers alike.
