EP 67 Why Does Saint John the Baptist Day Matter in Freemasonry? Summer Solstice and Masonic Light

from Masonic Muscle · host The Origin War Has Begun

Why does Saint John the Baptist Day matter in Freemasonry?In this short talk from our June 2022 stated meeting, I point out some correlations between Saint John the Baptist Day, the summer solstice, Masonic symbolism, light, time, and the rhythm of the Craft.Saint John the Baptist Day falls very close to the summer solstice, and that should make a Mason stop and think.Freemasonry is full of symbols connected to light, darkness, order, geometry, time, moral instruction, and self-improvement. The question is whether we still know how to read them.This episode solves one Masonic problem:How can Masons understand the Holy Saints John as more than names repeated in ritual or lodge tradition?We discuss:Saint John the Baptist Daythe summer solsticeJune 24the Holy Saints JohnMasonic lightMasonic symbolismlodge educationthe symbolic calendar of the Craftwhy short talks can strengthen Masonic educationwhy Masons should pay attention to time, season, and symbolThis is a short episode, but it points toward a larger idea:A Mason should not just repeat symbols.He should learn how to read them.Have an origin theory, Masonic question, old document, book recommendation, lodge problem, or research lead?Write to me at:[email protected] Masonic Muscle on Instagram:@masonicmuscleFollow Masonic Muscle on Facebook.Subscribe and follow Masonic Muscle on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.Share this episode with one Brother who wants more light.
