Spiritual beliefs in my Masonic journey:

[Bro. D C-M Sr.]

Spiritual beliefs in my Masonic journey:

As an Indigenous person and a Master Mason, I deeply believe in a higher power

. However, I do not subscribe to the doctrines of organized religions or their sacred texts

. I have always held these personal views close to my heart, respecting the beliefs of others

.

To express my own spiritual connection, I cherish a sacred feather

. This feather was entrusted to my care by my ancestors as a symbol of life and the interconnectedness of all beings

. I have crafted a custom wooden box for the feather, inscribed with a personal quote in our native language

.

I intend to present this feather to the Worshipful Master

and request that it be displayed alongside the Lodge's sacred texts

. This will offer a meaningful representation of my Indigenous spirituality within the Masonic context

.

QOTD:
I would greatly appreciate hearing the perspectives of my fellow Indigenous Masonic brothers on this matter

.

Greetings, Brother. Osiyo from a fellow Indigenous Master Mason in Texas. I'm Cherokee, and I'm also a bit of a traditionalist myself. My grandfather, also a Master Mason, was even more of a Nighthawk. Like you, we don't have a single book that we can point to as our Volume of Sacred Law. Furthermore, I tend to be very private about Tsalagi spirituality. It's not secret, it's just private.

I personally love the feather idea, but the rules about what is allowed on the altar are of course jurisdictional. If your grand lodge allows it, I think it's wonderful.

My perspective about the VSL on the altar is that it's primarily symbolic. For my part, it might as well be the Torah, the Koran, the Gita, a collection of Sutras, or even a great work of literature. But we must of course follow the rules from our Grand Lodge.

I was under the impression that we do not meet in lodges and that we are fine with not being accepted by their standards. I am Sons of Light because Yeshua said so and thats about it period. Ive died a physical death and walked the same exact path and I must say it is rather painful however the gifts we recieve are not of this world so I am truly blessed even if I were to leave this vessel. I don’t care what people say I strive to make other brothers better men and I don’t need permission to be a good person and be active in my community. Ive walked a very very hard path as most sons of light have. I don’t have a motorcycle or even a job because of the eye foundations just wanted to use me as a human sacrifice which they failed miserably. Im also on probation because my family paid a lawyer to make sure I didn’t take the charge to trial. 3 has gone south and the real ones dont need to be accepted by a lodge. I can practice the way of my forefathers and dont need permission from anyone. God bless and mote it be i say this out of love for my fellow brethren.

I know so many people in lodges that break the laws of our system everyday and get away with filthy things that are not acceptable to my standards these branches are to be thrown into the fire for certain.

I honestly can't tell from your posts if you're a Mason or not.

I’m going with no on Mason, but yes on mentally ill.

I think I have to agree. Shame to ruin Brother Daniel's post with his ramblings.
