    Skull and crossbones in S&C

    I'd be interested in the answer to the question too. If we are laying bets, I'd say probably not true that the S&Q would be have the skull and crossbones in the 20th Century.... but maybe prior ? @Bill Lins ?

    Pandemic Shutdowns Convince Men of the Need for Deeper Friendships

    I am very reliably informed that two months this year when we were in lockdown were the busiest our GL has had for inquiries since the start of 2018.. same story told over and over "I am in my 30/40s, focused on career and family and in the middle of a lockdown and I realize I don't have as many...

    Random Building Thoughts

    That's probably something I should do.... some Anderson’s Constitutions appear in ours, but I love your point - it might be describing Freemasons, not applicants to Freemasonry. One might need to apply the "mischief rule". I think it's probably just saying atheist - but he just said that in the...

    Northeast Corner

    I am going to hold my tongue my most esteemed Brothers, but there is a strong part of me which wants to give you the hardest of times about necro posting :)

    Your GL's position on reading Ritual versus reciting Ritual by memory

    Does your Grand Lodge have a position on if the ceremonial can be read or must be recited - or is it left to individual lodges to decide ? Use the comments section to elaborate..

    Helena Blavatsky

    Interesting stuff - thanks for posting it :) I must admit, I don't pay too much attention to those sort of organisations (nothing to do with gender, just not part of my masonic interest) but she sounded like quite an amazing woman (assuming all her travels were true).

    Freemasonry moral values, secret or not?

    Congratulations - I think you've done a pretty good job there.. There is the odd thing in what you have written that I would tweak, but you've obviously done some reading. According to my local obligations and customs, they are not considered secret, but you can really only have a decent...

    What’s the strangest place that you’ve met a brother Mason?

    I don't travel much, but I had a great one when I greeted a client one day who was with a staff member. I greeted the staff member by name and I said "Hello Brother" to the client and the staff member said "Hello Brother" to me.. I actually did not think much of it, as often folk call each other...

    Professional Networking

    Rotary would be a good one - but also the best professional networking is done in Professional Networking Groups and Professional Associations. Check out https://www.meetup.com/ I'm on linkedin.. but don't pay it much attention.. but some swear by it. I just swear at it :)

    Class and politics are interesting prisms through in the context of the Antients and the Moderns. Many make observations on it, but I have not seen a breakdown by known individuals - that would be interesting, but also very tricky to do. At the end of the day, we need to be cautious because...
