Message:: I am researching Masonic themes in Edgar Allan Poe's short story "Cask of Amontillado" and several questions regarding a family motto therein "Nemo Me Impune Lacessit" which I believe was also the Scottish national motto. I sek also to better understand the religious friction (if any) between the Catholic church and Freemason movement during the early to middle 1800s both in America and Europe. Any assistance or direction you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Were(are)the Freemasons anti-papal? Was Giuseppe Garibaldi a Freemason? Does the Proper name "fortunato" figure prominently in Masonic lore? Again, thanks in advance for any support in my research.

[Web-master's note: "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM" means "A NEW ORDER for the AGES" -- in other words -- a new arrangement of society in the annals of time and history, specifically the new idea of America's representative democratic republic. New? Yes: it challenged "the Divine Right of Kings" where previously legitimate power came from somebody's personal opinion of the Word of God or from the Guy with The Most Soldiers This Week. The new republic said instead that government power comes properly from "the consent of the governed". This establishment of the first functioning democratic state since ancient times was a new order of things, one which our founders hoped would not disappear but become an example and demonstration for others to follow in Ages to Come.]

According to notes found from David T Winston his wife's father W J Ward (William John) was in the same lodge with Dudley Peed who apparently lectured for the lodge. Any information on the lodge or W J's membership would be greatly appreciated. My husband is Alex Winston, a member of Adoniram Lodge #149. His Grandfather D T and his six sons opened and closed a district lodge meeting at Adiniram Lodge on Sept 14, 1940. Alex served as Worshipful Master in Ashland, Va. in the sixties and just last year served as Worshipful Master at Adoniram. As you see Masonry is very important to the Winston family and learning more of W.J. Ward's affiliation is very important to us.Thanks for any assistance you may give. Ann Winston

Message:: Web-Master (and To Whom It May Concern), I am looking for information regarding the conjunction between your endeavor and that of the MIT Media Laboratory (which I'm sure is a stone's throw from where you likely are reading this), if such a thing may exist. I'm also searching for a way to become a Mason of the Scottish Rite. The Phoenix Lodge is in my hometown of Hanover, MA, and I know when the meetings are (as the sign on Rt. 53 displays); would it be improper to try to catch somebody I might know from around town on their way in? Any advice in an email would be extremely appreciated.

I've seen their tombstones that have the symbol. I was curious to find out as much about freemasonry as I can, because I'm very proud to be able to say that many of my relatives were freemasons.

Message:: I am interested in joining FM. A friend a church gave me a form to fill out. It was very extensive and seemed like an invasion of privacy. Is it a religion? The rituals and prcatices seem to be. However, I know very little about the customs of FM, since most of them are secret.
[Web-master's note: I don't know about the form in Texas. The form in Massachusetts basically allows the lodge to know that you are self-supporting, not expecting to live on lodge charity; that you are a peaceable citizen, not inclined to crime and mischief; and that you can provide the names and contact info of some long-time friends and business associates who can provide reflections of your personal character. The rituals don't look like anything I have ever seen in any church. Masonry is not a religion, but it will encourage you to be a good member of whichever church/religion you already are involved with.]
