Everything I know about gypsies in the UK I learned from Brad Pitt's character in Snatch.

Trade fraternity was my best guess as well. But could.just as likely.be a Masonic item from a rite I am not familiar with.

I'd be out of luck. I don't even keep my dues card on me if I am not heading to Lodge.

Thanks Coach. Now someone needs to sticky this!

And read this excellent post: http://myfreemasonry.com/threads/african-freemasonry-from-facebook-version-16-last-updated-on-14-dec-19.31891/

Close. That's a Level. I believe the emblem on the dagger is a plumbline, represented on that picture on the right side under the open compases. The long rectangle. I'm coming to this conclusion solely because the weight extends below the base which would not work on a level but would on a...

I agree. I was just commenting that if a PHA Brother met a non PHA there might be more than a little headsctatching at some of the questions asked because of the streams we come from.

Thanks. That might shed more light on its origins. Unfortunately I am not well versed in 19th century Swiss organizations.

Interesting find. I'm not sure I see anything overtly Masonic on it other than the Square and Compass. And the addition there of what looks like might be a hammer or pick, makes me wonder if it might be from one of the labor unions like the Junior Order United American Mechanics (JOUAM) from the...

I guessing that you are a Prince Hall Brother? They usually have a much more elaborate question and answer for meeting in public than we see outside PHA.

I've never visited anywhere that expected the Tyler's Oath to be memorized. Thankfully, since I don't have it memorized!

Congratulations on that first step! Now it's time to play the waiting game. We move slow. Glacially sometimes. lol The typical process after you submit a petition in most areas of the US is that at the next Lodge Meeting, your Petition will be read and they'll assign an investigation...

Because PA always has to be different! lol

If you are current on your dues, you can attend Lodge. If you are not current then that is the first thing you need to address and become a dues paying member in good standing. Contact the Secretary of your home Lodge and let them know you want to reactivate your membership. You were likely...

Interesting article that came across my feed today about the new GM wanting to open Israeli Freemasonry to women. I honestly hope he is not successful in making that change. I'd like to go visit and sit in some Israeli Lodges which I won't be able to do if they cease to be recognized...

don't think Freemasonry has anything to do with Astral Projection. If people want to study it there are better organizations that focus on things like that. Trying to shoehorn it in to Freemaosnry just doesn't work in my opinion.
