Ep 563Whence Came You? - 0563 - The Flaming Sword
This week, The Flaming Sword that guards the Garden of Eden. A sword wielded by the Tiler of the Lodge. What are its connections to the Norse gods, Sumeria, and what can we learn from a theosophic POV? Then, in an article by Past Grand Secretary John L Cooper, we talk about Freemasonry as a progressive moral science-- not a progress from degree to degree, but rather progress in a philosophical human sense. All this and more-- stay tuned!

Ep 560Whence Came You? - 0560 - The Rosicrucian Hiram Legend?
This week-- a quick review of Masonic Con Kansas, 2022. We'll hear about some of the highlights. Then I step aside and let WB:. Patrick Dey take center stage for an all-new Masonic MythBusters. Many esoteric Masons worldwide have cited Rudolph Steiner's alternate Rosicrucian Hiramic legend. Some have taken it to heart, but where did Steiner get the ideas contained within his Rosicrucian Hiramic legend? This magical story of Hiram, who jumps into the fire, meets Tu-Ball Cain and is gifted the secrets of the ages. A tale of love, deceit, and even—murder. Is it to be taken all for true? Bro. Patrick Dey takes us back to the origin of this tale. Get ready to have your mind blown!

Ep 559Whence Came You? - 0559 - A Shift in Pride
This week, we look at the MIddle Chamber Program through the eyes of Brother Randy Sanders. What is it? Where is it? And what's it all about? Then, in a short opinion piece, we ask, "What will Freemasons of the future write about the past? Are there Masonic heroes of today that they'll write about? All this and more, stay tuned!

Ep 558Whence Came You? - 0558 - Practical Balance
This week, we ask the critical question, where did the magic go? That occult magick somehow permeates all Masonic ritual, and how can we get it back? Then, in all new Masonic Myth Busters, Brother Patrick Dey tackles one of the most challenging questions ever related to the fraternity. Albert Pike, racism and slavery. In this unapologetic, candid look at just the facts, Bro Dey takes a look at the numerous writings of Albert Pike. He determines precisely where the man and Masonic Titan stand. There is no escaping these conclusions. Finally, we'll wrap it up with an excellent piece from Bro. Randy Sanders. Do you love Masonic Education but hate all that esoteric stuff or vice versa? Are you just a hard esotericist and can't take the rest? Randy Sanders has some great ideas on how to approach Masonic symbolism properly--and we do it gently. All this and more. Stay tuned.

Ep 557Whence Came You? - 0557 - Proper Communications: Intent
This week we're talking about communications--in particular, how to effectively ensure that there are those who know what you want to do and what you don't. In addition, we've got a great new Masonic minute with Ill. Bro. Steve Harrison on Tim Horton--one of Hockey's greats. In this awesome segment, Steve goes through the ups and downs of a national sports hero. We'll also have a great piece by Darin Lahners on the recent York Rite education event in the state of Illinois. Don't miss it!

Ep 556Whence Came You? - 0556 - The Trouble In Washington D.C.
This week we're talking about the Masonic Philosophy of George Washington. In previous episodes, we've explored George Washington's religion and specific notions of the founding fathers. The two-part series presented this week will dive even deeper. Then we'll read a 25-year-old article published in the Washington Post about Washington D.C.'s Map. From Satan to the Sphinx--the Masonic mysteries of DC. In this article, the author traces the various claims of notable and influential Americans to crackpots and more when referring to the multiple claims of occult and Masonic designs within the city of Washington D.C., our nation's capital. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a discussion on beginning new spiritual paths and manifestations and what that has in store for us.

Ep 555Whence Came You? - 0555 - Presidential Clubs and Hauntings
This week, we examine a list of presidents who belong to various secret societies, the Freemasons, the Odd Fellows, and some others that you've likely never heard of. Then we'll explore George Washington's various philosophies regarding religion and the United States. Was George Washington truly influenced to create a nation based on Masonic principles? The case seems overwhelmingly in the affirmative. Then we'll even have a short piece about presidential hauntings. That's right, the founders of our great nation may be haunting their old homes and even the White House. All this and more, stay tuned.

Ep 554Whence Came You? - 0554 - Boleskine: The House of Evil?
This week--can an infrared thermometer affect your pineal gland and destroy your third eye? (˵ ͠ಥ‿ ͠ಥ˵) Some conspiracy theorists say yes! We'll read a short article from Discover Magazine talking about just such a conspiracy. Then we'll explore the strange home of Aleister Crowley, Boleskine. What exactly happened there? What are the 115 demons that he unleashed? What happened after not one but two tragic fires occurred on the property formerly owned by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page?

Ep 553Whence Came You? - 0553 - What's Martinism?
This week, we tackle the first in a series of episodes and topics about little-known organizations and philosophical quirks. This week we're talking about Martinism. What is it? How many branches are there, and where did it come from? Then we'll talk about the luxury of anger, something Freemasons don't really have. In a piece by Kristine Wilson-Slack, she tells us exactly why. Then, Bro. Steve Harrison stops by for the Masonic Minute. We're all pretty familiar with the Morgan affair. We even know that a body was recovered, but that it probably wasn't Morgan. But there was a second body that was recovered, and the effects which were contained with the body stand to blow the case wide open again. Steve Harrison tells all. We'll wrap it up with a look at an archetype. Are you vigilant? Are you searching for truth? All this and more, stay tuned!

Ep 552Whence Came You? - 0552 - True Freedom
The Holiday of July 4th, Independence Day, is upon us. A holiday that has its roots and foundations in the ideas of freedom, liberty, and more. We'll explore what writer and philosopher Thomas Payne had to say about American independence. We'll then explore what Freemasonry has to do during its ritual work with the idea of freedom. We'll talk about the reason for the War of Independence—and what we get wrong about the American Revolution. Was it about taxes or representation? You'll need to listen to find out; perhaps, it's even more profound. We will then go into a short review of a text by Rudolf Steiner on the Philosophy of Freedom before wrapping it up with a few rousing quotes from Thomas Paine.

Ep 551Whence Came You? - 0551 - Templars, Cathars, and Merovingians
This week, we're talking about the fate of the Knights Templar. What happened in 1129 CE and then in 1307? We'll follow this up with a look at a group that came before the Knight Templar, the Cathars, and then we will follow it up with a piece on the Merovingians. In a three-part series composed by Kristine Wilson-Slack, she explores all three of these groups and the connections they may or may not have to Freemasonry and their influence in the world today. Finally, we'll wrap it up with the qualities associated with independence, judgment in unbiased ways, and direct communication. All this and more—Stay Tuned!

Ep 550Whence Came You? - 0550 - Temple, or Lodge?
This week, we look at why a Masonic "Lodge" is also referred to as a "temple" and why it's not called a temple anymore or is it? In this philosophical look at the Temple versus Lodge debate, we'll take apart both terms and see what they mean and how they are interchangeable and maybe not interchangeable--within the greater umbrella of Freemasonry. Then Ill. Bro. Steven L. Harrison stops by—this week, a fantastic journey stemming from the Grand Lodge of the state of Missouri. The One Grand Lodge that gave us more Freemasonry than any other Grand Lodge! We'll also look at last month's Fraternal Review examining the Leo Taxil Hoax. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a contemplative exercise. Are you out there solving problems and moving toward your goals using a massive force of your intellect? Find out this and a whole lot more.

This week, we have the author of a four-part series of books.

We'll talk with Brother James "Chris" Williams and find out why he wrote the books, what they mean to him, and some personal stories that are sure to get you right in the feels.

Ep 546Whence Came You? - 0546 - Freemasonry: A Jewish Perspective
This week, we talked with a Brother of the Jewish faith about his particular experience in Freemasonry. Is Freemasonry compatible with Judaism? What's it like to join a fraternity that's overwhelmingly Christian, which uses a Jewish text as the foundation for the allegory and being Jewish In the fraternity? This week, we're talking to Brother Sean Rothberg and gaining a unique perspective on the Craft. All this and more. Stay tuned!

Ep 545Whence Came You? - 0545 - What the Heck Is Egregore?
This week, how can we adjust our lives to be more Masonic, and connect with the people around us? Is the answer truly in putting down our phones and electronics? Are they truly a plague upon modern mankind? We'll explore this idea in a piece by Darin A. Lahners, where he lays out many of the significant issues with mental health and our dependence on electronics. Then Ill. Bro. Harrison tells us about famous last words--those words spoken by prolific and interesting people throughout history, at the end of their earthly existence. We'll explore the idea of Egregore and Freemasonry, a commonly misunderstood concept. It has as many definitions as you could imagine, including some that are laughable. We'll define it, and you'll get a true sense of what this actually is. And finally, we'll wrap it up in a contemplation on your next steps in life. Reaching the higher self for your greatest good.

Ep 544Whence Came You? - 0544 - The Midwest Conference on Masonic Education - A Review
This week, we get a rundown of what happened at the Midwest Conference of Masonic Education, 2022, in Kansas City, MO. What were some of the ideas passed around from state education officer to state education officer regarding best practices and discoveries within the realm of Masonic education? Then we'll hear, from Greg Knott, who tells us about a recent visit he had to a used bookstore. What treasures did he find?

Ep 543Whence Came You - 0543 - Value in the Rubbish
This week, is there value in the rubbish of the temple? What do those less than perfect stones do for us for the rest of our lives? Could they be lessons preparing us for future obstacles? Then we'll hear a response from a festive board regarding the 47th problem of Euclid. At a recent festive board, one Brother brings a personal touch to his 47th problem of Euclid response in a special segment he's recorded for us. Then, a letter to the Brothers the world over about the importance of the esoteric in Freemasonry and our charge to light the fire of education in every man that comes through our doors. Steve Harrison stops by for an all-new Masonic Minute about the Cable Tow and gives us a contemporary response to what it could mean for us. Lastly, we wrap it up with a Tarot card draw.

Ep 542Whence Came You? - 0542 - A Serious Lack of Discretion
This week, how critical is the idea of an individual degree and an individual catechism to the future of Freemasonry? We'll explore a piece by William H. Boyd in which he outlines the several reasons why the future of the Craft depends on the practice of individual degrees and catechisms. Then, we'll talk about the investigation committee and the concerns of a Grand Lodge in the 1950s. As the Grand Lodge put it, is there a "serious lack of discretion?" We'll explore some of the questions that we are charged to find the answers to within the Investigation committee and talk about how things have changed over the years. Lastly, I read my response from a festive board on the idea of World-Wide Brotherhood. What does it mean to truly be a brotherhood that spans the world? What makes us brothers? It's not just the obligation--it's something deeper. All this and more, stay tuned.

Ep 541Whence Came You? - 0541 - Stop Changing Freemasonry
This week, we wrap up the contemporary look at Whither Are We Traveling with part 11 of Darin A. Lahner's series. Are there not too many well-meaning Brethren working overtime to make Freemasonry something other than Freemasonry? Should we abandon free will and accord? Should we take positions on public issues of the day? Go all out for materialism? Subsidize? Then we hear a tale from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison in this week's Masonic Minute about Winston Churchill--The most difficult decision he ever had to make-- to fire on allies. We wrap it up with a Tarot card draw and contemplate what a specific card could mean in terms of practical application through the lens of Freemasonry. Are you on the verge of a breakthrough? Or a new success? All this and more. Stay tuned.

Ep 540Whence Came You? - 0540 - Not All Men Are Redeemable
This week, Whither Are We Traveling? (Pt 10) and Worshipful Brother Darin A. Lahners' contemporary examination of the text. Hasn't the so-called 'century of the common man' contributed to making our fraternity a little too common? Is it so easy for anybody to join Freemasonry? And what happens when common men become part of our uncommon fraternity? Ritual cheapened? The public image of the fraternity sullied? Then, we'll take a look at a recent article from the Knight Templar Magazine--all about the history of Golgotha and how it got its name—"the place of the skull." How did this place get its name? What place does the skull and the Chamber of Reflection have in our Craft today? All this and more, stay tuned!

Ep 539Whence Came You? - 0539 - Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen
This week, "What has become of that course of moral instruction, veiled and illustrated by symbols that Freemasonry is supposed to be?" Has Freemasonry lost its Masonic education edge? Are we too hung up on crafted programs created by our membership committees that change every year? What could be a simple way of ensuring Masonic education finds its way to every member? Then, we've got an all-new Masonic Minute with Ill. Bro. Steven L. Harrison in which he discusses the topic of heaven and earth. A supreme philosophical outlook on what God is, and how the end of time as we know it will happen, and what that means for us--philosophically, of course. All this and more, stay tuned!

Ep 537Whence Came You? - 0537 - Are You Festive "Bored?"
This week, Darin A. Lahners dives into the seventh question of "Whither Are We Traveling?" Do we pay enough attention to the festive board? Does your lodge know the difference between a festive board and a table lodge? If the answer is, "… It's the same thing.", I'm sorry to tell you that's just not true. We'll break apart the differences. We'll talk about the necessity for the festive board--one of Freemasonry's fundamental tools for making this world better by making good men better. Then we'll hear the tale of Nathaniel Beverly Tucker, as illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison takes us through this week's Masonic Minute. A troubled Past Grandmaster moving from Christian denomination to Christian denomination due to his dubious beliefs. Did Nathaniel Beverley Tucker plan the entire secession of the South? You'll have to listen to find out. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a single Tarot card draw. We'll be working with the coveted Manly P. Hall and J. A Knapp Tarot deck.

Ep 536Whence Came You? - 0536 - The Lodge that Wasn't Over Simpkins' Store
This week, we're back with part seven of Whither Are We Traveling? Darin Lahners gives his generational outlook on the question of whether America's passion for bigness and efficiency has ruined Masonic charity. Why do we, as Americans, need to be acknowledged for our charitable efforts? Doesn't looking for acknowledgment stray from the path of altruism? Then, a staple of romanticized Freemasonry, the Lodge Over Simpkin's Store, an original poem written by Most Worship Lawrence N. Greenleaf for the Grand Lodge of Colorado. Some say it was a real place. Brother Patrick Dey takes on The Lodge Over Simpkin's Store in this week's Masonic Mythbusters. Finally, we'll wrap it up with the discussion around the ace of pentacles. As a Tarot card, what does it mean for you masonically? What does it mean for you and your personal life? Do its prescribed meanings give rise to thoughts in your mind about future opportunities? All this and more-- stay tuned!

Ep 535Whence Came You? - 0535 - Craft Freemasonry VS The Rest
This week, Darin Lahners tackles the question, what happens when we allow Freemasonry to be broken up into several smaller organizations that demand our time and market themselves as something more or greater than symbolic lodge? Is that even appropriate? Then, we'll have an all-new Masonic Minute with Illustrious Brother Steven L Harrison. Do you remember that time you were asked to deposit something and were unable to? Steve talks about the Rite of Destitution, its importance, and the lesson it teaches all of us. Finally, we'll draw a Tarot card from an apropos deck for this month. Is it time to just take a nap? Maybe!

Ep 534Whence Came You? - 0534 - The Truth About Tolerance
This week, are Grand Lodges too obsessed with growing the numbers of their individual lodges? Darin Lahners takes another look at Dwight L. Smith's work and gives his contemporary response. Can Freemasonry become so big that it becomes impersonal? This would be antithetical to the entire Craft. Then, we'll turn toward the philosophic realm of a concept called Toleration. The practice of tolerating something, in particular, differences of opinion or behavior--what does tolerance really mean philosophically? And how do we approach this in Freemasonry? Finally, we'll wrap it up with a single card Tarot draw. Are we shying away from potential successful opportunities? All this and more? Stay tuned!

Ep 533Whence Came You? - 0533 - Knowing Thyself in Times of Change
This week, is Freemasonry too easy to join? We'll read part 4 of Darin Lahners expose on Whither Are We Traveling-- a new generational look at the original 1963 paper. Is everything geared for speed? Is proficiency something we still need? Then we'll take a trip into the future with Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison as he attends a Lodge meeting. This time, something's a little different. Then we'll take a look at that old saying, "Know Thyself." How does it apply in a world that continually changes, and as it changes, so do we?

Ep 532Whence Came You? - 0532 - The 5 Es of Lodge Success with Jordan Kelly
This week, we're talking about the things we don't do. We will explore the Five ES of a Successful Lodge with fellow Masonic education enthusiast, Illinois Freemason, and Education Committee member Jordan Kelly. How can you ensure your candidate is coming back for more? Here's a clue--it's not by teaching them about how to do floor work or dubbing them with the title of Apprentice Pancake Flipper. Jordan brings his professional expertise to a much-needed conversation about a successful Masonic Lodge formula. In addition to all this, we also hear likely the most accurate, historically honest, and exciting history of absinthe in an all-new Masonic Myth Busters with Patrick Dey. Absinthe is often considered a mystical beverage consumed by vampires, occultists, and well…just regular connoisseurs. All this and more are coming right up!

Ep 529Whence Came You? - 0529 - Into the Cult of Mithras
This week, we look at the Cult of Mithras, and by the end of the article, you'll have felt that perhaps, you are a "Raven." Then, we'll hear from WB:. Bro. Patrick Dey, in the next installment of Masonic Myth Busters. There's a lot to say about McGregor Mathers and his translation of the Abramelin. Patrick takes the question head-on--did MacGregor Mathers pick the worst possible translation to work from? Then we'll take a look at the continuing series of Whither Are We Traveling, with a somewhat generational look at the original 1964 publication. WB:. Darin Lahners gives us a unique perspective on how well are we guarding the Westgate, if at all. Better investigation committees? Background checks? What's the answer?

Ep 528Whence Came You? - 0528 - The Wrong Leaders
This week, we hear Darin A Lahners' continued op-ed on "Whither are We Traveling." Can we expect Freemasonry to retain its past glory and prestige unless the level of leadership is raised above its present position? Darin has a unique perspective on this. Having been a master of a couple of different Lodges in a great mix of both city and rural areas. You're not going to want to miss it. Then we hear from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison in an all-new Masonic Minute. Who is Elvis Wingo? Well, in short, a Masonic Superman. In this one, he outlines one of Freemasonry's gems--a doctor, a child genius, and a whole lot more. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a contemplative exercise on a particular Tarot card. Which one is it? The only hint I'll give you is, "A loss of three. A gain of two. And, it's inversed.

Ep 527Whence Came You? - 0527 - Whither Are We Traveling: Gen X Edition
This week, we explore the first part of "Whither Are We Traveling?" a multipart series by Brother Darin A Lahners. In this exploration, Darin dives into Dwight L Smith's seminal work "Whither Are We Traveling?" and asks some very pertinent questions. While this particular paper was the subject of "Laudable Pursuit" many years ago, what can we say about it today? Brother Darin has some ideas. Then, we'll hear from Worshipful Brother Patrick Dey in this first installment of Masonic Myth Busters. Did the Christians steal Christmas from the Pagans? We'll get a little reflective as we remember the life of RWB. Thomas W. Jackson. And finally, we'll wrap it up by drawing a Tarot card and reflecting on its practical meaning in our everyday lives.

Ep 526Whence Came You? - 0526 - The Name Revealed
This week, we conclude the chapter on the Ineffable Name, coming from The Symbolism of Freemasonry. What does the word truly mean? What is the actual word? According to one Brother's theory, it's a word that we have never talked about before. It comes directly from the Kabbalah.

Ep 525Whence Came You? - 0525 - Elohim and the Ineffable
This week, we dive further into the idea of the ineffable name, the Elohim. Then we take a more objective look at the ineffable Word of God. Is it a name, a phrase, an action? What could it mean?

Ep 523Whence Came You? - 0523 - Who's Enoch, Anyway?
This week, some things are grinding Bill Hosler's gears. What could those things be? Women, Freemasons? Points in or out? Green beans? Alcohol in lodge? You'll have to listen to find out. Then we'll ask an age-old question. Who the heck was Enoch? What does it mean when he says that he walked with God? Kristen Wilson-Slack's got an excellent post on this. She explores the various facets of what we know about him, where we can read more, and she also discusses the origin of "Enochian" --Ed Kelly and John Dee, anybody?!

Ep 522Whence Came You? - 0522 - Secrets of the Moon
This week, we explore the symbol of one of the lesser-known in Freemasonry--the Moon. We often think it means just relating to the equilibrium of ruling a Lodge, but could it mean more? Is the secret pertaining to divine feminine energy? And can it also have a historical and practical purpose within our ritual? We've also got a great, all-new Masonic Minute segment with Illustrious Brother Harrison. What happens when Steve sits down for lunch and realizes the Brothers he's talking to have never heard of perhaps the most considerable Masonic controversy ever? What is the danger of not knowing about this strange tale in Masonic history? All this and more, stay tuned!

This week Darin Lahners sheds some light on some of the wild conspiratorial manifestos that have been dropped off at Masonic lodges all over Illinois. How does this speak of the collective thoughts on Freemasonry today, and what are its dangers? And what is the possible threat specifically affecting Freemasonry? Then, we'll travel nearly 70 years in the past to take a look at how Freemasons were persecuted during the Holocaust. We're not going to talk about the "Forget Me Not" at all. We'll talk about the real thing and give you some historical context on the conspiracy theories and propaganda that existed back in 1925. We'll then look at modern-day and why people believe in conspiracy theories according to science. And finally, we'll draw a Tarot card and discuss its meaning. All this and more, stay tuned!

Ep 517Whence Came You? - 0517 - The Debate on Science and Society
This week, we look at society's decline through perhaps one of the most influential platforms in our lives today--social media. Brother Greg Knot talks about this issue and how Freemasonry can bring society back together. Then we've got a brand-new segment from Brother Matt Gallagher. In his segment on Practical Freemasonry, he talks about just what is "Practical Freemasonry" and some of the dangers of not knowing your audience. We'll wrap it up with an exploration of science. Just what is science? In Freemasonry, we have the seven liberal arts and sciences. In what context do we study them? And can science always be trusted? All this and more in this episode of "Whence Came You?" Stay tuned! Thanks for listening, and have an amazing week!

Ep 516Whence Came You? - 0516 - The Magic Ritual
This week, we talk about the magic in ritual. Is it truly magic, or is it a psychological change that rearranges how man thinks about life? In this great piece from Brother Akram R. Elias, PGM, we talk about the "magic" of ritual. Then, we'll hear the tale of William Dodd. A Freemason who got into some trouble, forged his signature in order to pay back some debts, and got caught up in a wild tale you're not going to want to miss in an all-new Masonic Minute from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison. We'll wrap it up with a segment from Brother Matt Gallagher in Practical Freemasonry. When we talk about a lodge's retention point, this isn't some magical number that talks about how well your lodge is doing. In fact, it's the point in a man's journey in Freemasonry that he decides it's for him, and he's in for life. So, where is that point in the Masonic journey? As we'll see, it's not necessarily the third degree—all this and more. Stay tuned! App extras include the paper we read.

Ep 515Whence Came You? - 0515 - Don't Let Them In!
This week, as we travel through the year Masonically, sometimes things become a little laid back--things become not exciting, and then one day, our thumbs stop scrolling. We see something inspiring, and that's just what Brother Randy Sanders has in store for us as he talks about inspiring events happening in Freemasonry. What could it mean for all of us? Then we'll hear from Brother Matt Gallagher in his exclusive, Practical Freemasonry segment. Why should you be a Mason? And perhaps, why you shouldn't? We'll wrap it up with a new piece from the Midnight Freemasons. Brother. JP brings up a very important topic. What happens when we let basic beliefs become politicized and what effect does that have on Freemasonry? All this and more, stay tuned!

Ep 514Whence Came You? - 0514 - Moral Courage: Do We Have It?
This week, we ask the question, what is moral courage? How many of us have moral courage in the lodge room? Can we stand up for what's right regardless of who is infringing on the rules of Freemasonry? Then, we'll hear the story of one of the most prolific computer programmers ever to be on this planet in an all-new Masonic Minute from Ill. Bro. Steve Harrison. Finally, we wrap it up with a great new segment, Practical Freemasonry with Matt Gallagher. In this episode, he'll take us through the wages of a Master Mason in a practical sense--all this and more, stay tuned!
