    A recreation of an address given by Wor. Bro. E. J. E. McLagan, a member of the Hobart Lodge of Research, on the 21st. July, 1967. This lecture details the background, causes and outcome of the great 'Antient and Modern' conflict, which took place over sixty years and led, ultimately, to the foundation of the United Grand Lodge of England in 1813.

    A brief summary of the highly esoteric 1912 work ‘The Kybalion’, by ‘Three Initiates’. It offers a surprisingly Masonic take on Hermetic Neo-Platonism. The broadcast is a brief summary of its content with reference made to Masonic connections.

    A Lecture first published in November 1925 by the Masonic Service Association of the United States. I have removed a few small sections of this lecture where the content either is no longer aligned with Masonic practice, or where the views expressed are not in line with the values of contemporary society.

  • Episode 3: Cryptic Masonry

    Episode 3: Cryptic Masonry
    Jan 6 2021
    The content of this video has been taken from an 1880 essay by Hugh M’Curdy. It was published in “The Voice of Masonry” in that year. Its tone, language and content are very representative of Masonic lectures of that period, with an emphasis on moral uplift, rather than the more modern approach foregrounding historical and historiographical pedantry.
