Transformation of Freemasonry

This book The Transformation of Freemasonry seems to be getting plenty of reviews at the moment. By the strangest coincidence I know the publisher from a previous role I used to do. Small world.... but not if you have to clean it!

The reviews on Amazon are very positive:

Freemasons donate 10,000 teddy bears to sick or injured children in hospital

Some more rather positive news than the 'anti-mason' reporting I have been doing of late.

Dan Brown To Adapt The Lost Symbol

Inevitable, I suppose. Glad to see that Dan Brown has an opportunity to write the script:

I guess the question is, is there anything Freemasonry can do to maximise this exposure? I was rather disappointed that in the month The Lost Symbol was published there wasn't even a mention in the magazine "Freemasonry Today". It appears that Freemasonry is quite happy to ignore opportunities, which is a shame considering its gradual demise.

Antimasonry watch

This could be out of a Monty Python script:

It is important to note that not all Freemasons are Illuminati but all Illuminati are Freemasons thanks to the division of Freemasonry into what’s called “Scarlet” (the elite) and “The Beast” (everyone else.)

More craftaphobia. Isn't it amazing how people outside the organisation seem to know more than those who are in ('secret') the organisation? Do they not spot this 'slight' error in logic... so secret that those outside the organisation know more than those that are involved in it.

They could, of course, be plain old wrong..... and delusional :-)

You decide!

Freemasons seeing revival

This is some good news:

Kirklees Lodge No. 4710

On Friday I was delighted to attend a third degree ceremony at Kirklees Lodge No. 4710 in Mirfield, West Yorkshire (or Province of Yorkshire West Riding).

It was a most convivial evening, Kirklees is a very friendly and hospitable lodge.
