Message:: A Lodge brother has obtained a very old Masonic gift dated 1887. It is a small wooden box containing two small crystal jars w/ stoppers and one small woven sack. The jars and sack held the wages of the craft. It also contains a handwritten letter from the American Consul of Jerulsalem to the Consul of Malta. The box lid is inscribed with the words "George Wallace", below which is the inscription "271". Also, the crystal jars are etched with the initals G W and the Square and Compasses. Any research help would be appreciated! Thanks

Message:: Greetings to all of you from korp! "Vironia". Korp! (or fraternity, if you like) is a Baltic-German form of student organisation. It has several things in common with masonry. For example it's for men only, it has old traditions (not as old as Yours but a few centuries anyway...), it's an intimate organisation, meaning not much information goes outside the members about it's activities, etc I as a young member decided to do my research (compulsory for applying for full membership) on freemasonry. To compare it with korp! life. I gained a lot of good material from this page. So I hereby wish to thank the webmaster. Sincerely yours Martin Laan c 97/I

Message:: I am presently researching the links between Tubal cain, master engraver, who inscribed with lapis-lazuli upon a slab of iron the origional "Word". Lapis-lazuli is an aluminous mineral of a rich blue colour which may explain the use of the word "Blue" in the Blue Lodge. My research has indicated that this slab of iron is the Lapis Exillis(the one true stone that fell in exile from heaven) and is the stone spoken about as "that rock of Erick at Avalon" which dates back to the Ancient continent of Mu. In tracing the history of this stone and its attendant secrets have led me to believe that The Great White Fraternity was formed to act as "Guardians" of the knowledge and that its initiates have throughout history preserved this knowledge. It is my contention that the Grail, the Philospher's Stone, the Black Stone of Mecca are merely metaphors that allude to this great secret. The Ark of the covenant once housed this great power source. The secret was passed from the great initiate Moses to King David and then on to King Solomon. From Solomon the secret eventually passed on to Joseph who took it with him to the south of France.. At first glance one would think that the Masons were the guardians of this knowledge but sadly empirical evidence does not bear this assumption out. If the Masons did at one time possess this knowledge it has been either lost or hidden in such a manner that Masonic initiates today do not possess the right keys to unlock the knowledge they claim to have once possessed. Since I dont know if this message is secured it is best that I limit what I say. If any of your members would care to correspond with me regarding my research into this important area I would appreciate it. Yours from a different faith, Thomas

I was suprised to read your statements on the belief in a suprem entety to be the only "religous" requirement for someone to join the freemasons. I was also surprised in the fellowship expressed in this web page and would be honored to join such an organisation as soon as i am able to meet someone who is in a local org. p.s I realy appriechiated the chance to learn about your org. and to see how closely it seems to my personnel beliefs.

Message:: I am looking for any information on my great-grandfather, Isidoro Peila. He lived in Alderson, OK, until August 2, 1917, when he was killed in a coal mine accident. Supposedly he is buried in "Odd Fellow Lodge's Plot" in McAlester, OK. I'm not too sure about that last bit as it is from my grandmother, and when I contacted the cemeteries in McAlester, the info didn't match. He may be buried in Oakhill or Northtown Cemetery, but since he died in 1917, I can't find a death certificate or even his grave because it's too old. (According to the OK officials.) We do believe he was a Mason, tho. Any help/info you can give would be greatly appreciated!

Message:: Recently a friend said to me that the masonic order was evil and that they had a video which would tell me all about it. I have grown up in a masonic family and both my parents came from a masonic family, but once the idea was in my head, I couldn't help doubting. specially when they started talking about the devil and the 5 pointed star, and the eye in the triangle. In this video apparently, they have evidence of the origins of freemasonry, and these origins are in devil worship etc. I decided to have a look on here to see if there was anything that I could use to prove to myself and to my friends that it wasn't evil, and that it is simply a group of men working to beter themselves which is what I have always been told. Thankfully I have, and I just want to congeratulate you on setting one of your little girls heart and mind at ease. Thank you very very much.

My good friend told me about the masons a few years back but he never asked me to join, subsiquintly i never did because i figured i had nothing to offer the masons. But now that i have spoken to a few more people about it, i am very interested in joining. I see now what ive been missing and cant wait to find someone to sponsor me. I must add my friend is a deputy grand marshal in a north dakota chapter. Also i must add Im very nervous about the intitation process. My friend wouldnt tell me what has to be done so im quite nervous about the whole thing.

I want the public to know that the DeMolay & Masonic values tought to me were as moral and positive as my life as a Christian. Those people who claim that Freemasonry is a satanic cult are totally wrong. The Masons open their doors to all different faiths, while using the Old Testament in their rituals. They are NOT Anti-Christian. They do not use the New Testament because they represent Jewish, Catholic, and other denominations in their order. They NEVER have representited "SATANIC RELIGIONS". NEVER!!!!! Not a cult, but an organization of secrets. If you have any questions about DeMolay and Freemasonry,contact me via E-Mail. Any question I can't answer, I will tell you so and will try to find a Mason that can answer it.

Although, I don't think there's anything that would hold me back as far as what I've read to be the requirements. I am very serious about wishing to become a mason. Please do not respond if you are not a mason. I'm not trying to offend anyone who is trying to be helpful I'm just trying to make sure I get the right information from someone who knows for sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

He suggested that the British ocean liner Queen Mary, which sailed on its maiden voyage in May of 1936, may have some substantial ties with Masonry. That is, many of the men involved in bringing this vessel into existence -- from her architects, designers, and buliders at Clydebank, Scotland to the administrators and board members of the Cunard White Star Line in England -- were either Masons themselves or had Masonic ties. And, as such, the great vessel itself contains traditional architectural, design, and decorative elements indicative of Masonry. Is there truth in any of this?

Message:: I wonder if anyone may be able to help me. I am a follower of the neo-pagan religious faith often known as Wicca. I have been researching the history of this religion, and in particular am attempting to trace what other mystical, occult, and speculative organizations may have had influences upon its beliefs and practices. Wicca has several apparent similarities to what little I know of Masonry (e.g. some details of how a candidate is "properly prepared" for initiation, the existence of several degrees of initiation and oaths of secrecy, being refered to as "the Craft", the phrases "the Working Tools", "So Mote It Be" and "the Charge", etc.)
The modern flowering of Wicca was started in the early 1950's in England by Gerald Gardner, who was then a retired civil servant. In his writings and those of some of his initiates, it is said that he was himself initiated into this religion in 1939 by a Mrs. Dorothy Fordham (nee Dorothy St. Quintin Clutterbuck), then a spinster of considerable independent means, in Highcliffe, near Christchurch in the New Forest in the south of England. Mr. Gardner mentions that he met Mrs. Clutterbuck in 1938 through the auspices of "The First Rosicrucian Theatre in England", which opened in June 1938 in nearby Somerford, and which was run by an occult society that went by the name of the Fellowship of Cretona or the Cretona Fellowship.
This Fellowship of Cretona was apparently run by one Dr. G.A. Sullivan, who was a noted Shakesperian actor under the stage name Alex Mathews, and who was known within the Cretona Fellowship by the name "Brother Aurelius"; and by Mabel Besant-Scott, a co-mason and ex-Theosophist and daughter of the noted co-mason and occultist Annie Besant. Apparently a number of the members of the Cretona Fellowship were co-masons, from a London-based Co-Masonic group that supposedly was founded by Annie Besant and affiliated with the Grand Orient of France. I have also been led to believe (but have seen no written evidence) that some of the members had also earlier been members of the Society of Inner Light, which was founded and headed by the Theosophist and author Dion Fortune (nee Violet Firth), but had split with that organisation to join the Cretona Fellowship.
I am particularly interested in tracing information about the membership of the Cretona Fellowship during the period leading up to 1939, and finding out what (Co-)Masonic, Rosicrucian, Theosophical, or other occult societies its leading members (in particular Mrs. Dorothy St Q. Clutterbuck / Fordham) were also or had previously been members of. I was wondering if you had any idea whether there were any Masonic or Co-Masonic organizations that might have records of this information; or if you know of any books or scholarly material that might shed light upon these matters, or indeed on the interrelations of Co-Masonry, the Society of Inner Light, Rosicrucianism and Theosophy in England during the early parts of this century.
yours sincerely,
-- Dr. Roger Dearnaley

[Webmaster's Note: A is for Ancient F&AM Free and Accepted Masons. In England when modern Masonry was getting started, there were two rival branches "Ancients" ("Antients") vs. "Moderns" Each of those branches started some Grand Lodges in the US, which kept the initials. Some state grand lodges were chartered by earlier ones in other states, and inherited their initials.
There's no difference between the two anymore. AF&AM and F&AM state Grand Lodges and the lodges under them all recognize each other these days.]

I am sure that there is a connection between the two (see Giulio Camillo's idea of the Theatre as a mnemonic 'locus', such as the garden was) but there is little available online!!! Of course Frances Yates' studies are my departure line, but I'd like to come through something up-to-date...If it's not too boring, drop me a line!!! Many thanx

Brothers, we all know that it's a new year and I feel that we all need to come together and make a bond pattern so that all brothers can keep in mind the real meaning of Friendship and Brotherly Love. What I'm saying is that " there are some that don't care about that". Those are the brothers that done masonary for show. That has become a problem and it looks bad on the us who's doing right. Please e-mail me brothers so i can get a better understanding of why this happens. Thanks. Bro. Johnson
