Masonic Magic: The True Form of the Lodge

We are taught, while standing on the first step in Masonry, that the form of the lodge is the furniture, lights and ornaments of the lodge. We are also told that, by the cable tow we may be lead away, without beholding the form thereof. Hum, Really. So, we are to believe that the form we will miss out on, are rows of old, low, uncomfortable theater sets, within a poorly lit room with poorly painted off white walls. An old unused organ, covered by an old stained cover that doesn't quite do the job. Some decent lodge furniture and a couple of prints, one, my personal favorite, of Brother Washington hanging next to the rear door, that no mater how we try, we can't get to stay straight. Yah, right. So what's the real deal. Read the rest of this entry

Description: On February 23rd, 2010, S.W. Hackett Lodge #574 will host our first
Entered Apprentice and Fellow Craft Night. This is the night to celebrate our Masonic Brothers who have taken the first or second step in Masonry but have not, for any number of reasons, had the opportunity to move up.

The Lodge will be opened on the First degree of Masonry so that all can attend. We will then call to refreshment so that informal presentations and discussion can take place. At the close of the evening, we will return to labor and close the lodge.
We cordially invite, and strongly encourage, all Masons from all Lodges to attend. Further, we would truly appreciate it if this invitation could be extended to your Brethren in your up-coming Stated Meetings and in any other events where appropriate.
Start Time: 19:00
Date: 2010-02-23

We look forward to seeing you there and thank you.  For further information, questions or suggestions for program inclusions, please contact:
