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
