Too often, too much of our Masonic experience is consumed by the mundane yet necessary work of attending to the business of our Lodges. And while the social and charitable aspects of our Craft are cherished parts of our tradition, they too can command an inordinate share of our time and efforts. But what of improving ourselves as men and Masons? There is an undeniable thirst in modern Freemasonry for the esoteric knowledge entrusted to the care of well-informed brethren.

For as long as the Craft has existed, brethren have gathered together outside of their regular communications to exchange Masonic ideas and insights. Yet for some brothers, whether due to distance or the many demands of modern life, this experience hasn’t been within reach.

Until now.

Next Reading Room

The August meeting of the Reading Room is set for Sunday, August 22nd at 7:30 PM. Our panel will dissect Jirah Dewey Buck’s The Symbolism of Freemasonry.

About the text… “Out of all the societies that exist in the world, there is perhaps no other considered to be as mysterious as the Freemasons. Ostensibly a group founded to regulate the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients, the society is shrouded in claims of conspiracy and the occult due to its hermetic nature and religious aspects. This book looks at the symbolism of Freemasonry, as well as some of the general principles, order and hierarchy, and more.”

Event pre-registration is required. Sorry, due to the nature of the discussion, this event is limited to Master Masons in good standing.
