from Masonic Muscle · host The Origin War Has Begun
Who owns the history of Freemasonry?In EP 117 of Masonic Muscle, I argue that the origins, history, traditions, customs, and symbols of the Craft belong to all serious Masons willing to study, question, compare, and do the work.Masonic history does not belong only to scholars, academics, or self-appointed experts.It belongs to the Brothers willing to read.This episode asks:How can Masons strengthen the Craft if they refuse to study the history, controversies, exposures, and difficult questions that shaped Freemasonry?We discuss:why Masonic history belongs to all Masonspagan history and possible connections to FreemasonrySpartacus, discipline, resistance, and strengthdeclaring war on laziness, apathy, and complacencyphysical training as a fight against weaknessFreemasonry as a fight against mental laziness, superstition, and ignorancethree authors who wrote about Freemasonry in the 1830s and caused controversyexposed Masonic material and why Masons should read it for themselvesThe Devil’s Pulpit by Rev.
