| Whence Came You? - 0550 - Temple, or Lodge? | 20 Jun 2022 | 00:42:04 | |
This week, we look at why a Masonic "Lodge" is also referred to as a "temple" and why it's not called a temple anymore or is it? In this philosophical look at the Temple versus Lodge debate, we'll take apart both terms and see what they mean and how they are interchangeable and maybe not interchangeable--within the greater umbrella of Freemasonry. Then Ill. Bro. Steven L. Harrison stops by—this week, a fantastic journey stemming from the Grand Lodge of the state of Missouri. The One Grand Lodge that gave us more Freemasonry than any other Grand Lodge! We'll also look at last month's Fraternal Review examining the Leo Taxil Hoax. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a contemplative exercise. Are you out there solving problems and moving toward your goals using a massive force of your intellect? Find out this and a whole lot more.

This week, we have the author of a four-part series of books.

We'll talk with Brother James "Chris" Williams and find out why he wrote the books, what they mean to him, and some personal stories that are sure to get you right in the feels. Then, we'll have a quick contemplative session on the idea of independence-- alone time, collaborations, what's it all mean? All this is and more!

| Whence Came You? - 0545 - What the Heck Is Egregore? | 16 May 2022 | 00:49:43 | |
This week, how can we adjust our lives to be more Masonic, and connect with the people around us? Is the answer truly in putting down our phones and electronics? Are they truly a plague upon modern mankind? We'll explore this idea in a piece by Darin A. Lahners, where he lays out many of the significant issues with mental health and our dependence on electronics. Then Ill. Bro. Harrison tells us about famous last words--those words spoken by prolific and interesting people throughout history, at the end of their earthly existence. We'll explore the idea of Egregore and Freemasonry, a commonly misunderstood concept. It has as many definitions as you could imagine, including some that are laughable. We'll define it, and you'll get a true sense of what this actually is. And finally, we'll wrap it up in a contemplation on your next steps in life. Reaching the higher self for your greatest good.

| Whence Came You? - 0544 - The Midwest Conference on Masonic Education - A Review | 09 May 2022 | 00:42:56 | |
This week, we get a rundown of what happened at the Midwest Conference of Masonic Education, 2022, in Kansas City, MO. What were some of the ideas passed around from state education officer to state education officer regarding best practices and discoveries within the realm of Masonic education? Then we'll hear, from Greg Knott, who tells us about a recent visit he had to a used bookstore. What treasures did he find? Finally, we'll wrap it up with reflections on being your own teacher--what that means and the duality of such an idea. Truth from within, or teenage angst? Going against the grain. Challenging the status quo. All this and more. Stay tuned! WCY NFT Masonic Curators WCY Podcast YouTube Channel Ancient Modern Initiation: Special Edition Get the new book!

| Whence Came You - 0543 - Value in the Rubbish | 02 May 2022 | 00:35:13 | |
This week, is there value in the rubbish of the temple? What do those less than perfect stones do for us for the rest of our lives? Could they be lessons preparing us for future obstacles? Then we'll hear a response from a festive board regarding the 47th problem of Euclid. At a recent festive board, one Brother brings a personal touch to his 47th problem of Euclid response in a special segment he's recorded for us. Then, a letter to the Brothers the world over about the importance of the esoteric in Freemasonry and our charge to light the fire of education in every man that comes through our doors. Steve Harrison stops by for an all-new Masonic Minute about the Cable Tow and gives us a contemporary response to what it could mean for us. Lastly, we wrap it up with a Tarot card draw. What do we do about adversity? All this and more!

| Whence Came You? - 0541 - Stop Changing Freemasonry | 18 Apr 2022 | 00:51:39 | |
This week, we wrap up the contemporary look at Whither Are We Traveling with part 11 of Darin A. Lahner's series. Are there not too many well-meaning Brethren working overtime to make Freemasonry something other than Freemasonry? Should we abandon free will and accord? Should we take positions on public issues of the day? Go all out for materialism? Subsidize? Then we hear a tale from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison in this week's Masonic Minute about Winston Churchill--The most difficult decision he ever had to make-- to fire on allies. We wrap it up with a Tarot card draw and contemplate what a specific card could mean in terms of practical application through the lens of Freemasonry. Are you on the verge of a breakthrough? Or a new success? All this and more. Stay tuned. MO Lodge of Research WCY NFT Masonic Curators WCY Podcast YouTube Channel Ancient Modern Initiation: Special Edition Get the new book!

| Whence Came You? - 0540 - Not All Men Are Redeemable | 11 Apr 2022 | 00:36:59 | |
This week, Whither Are We Traveling? (Pt 10) and Worshipful Brother Darin A. Lahners' contemporary examination of the text. Hasn't the so-called 'century of the common man' contributed to making our fraternity a little too common? Is it so easy for anybody to join Freemasonry? And what happens when common men become part of our uncommon fraternity? Ritual cheapened? The public image of the fraternity sullied? Then, we'll take a look at a recent article from the Knight Templar Magazine--all about the history of Golgotha and how it got its name—"the place of the skull." How did this place get its name? What place does the skull and the Chamber of Reflection have in our Craft today? All this and more, stay tuned!

| Whence Came You? - 0539 - Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen | 04 Apr 2022 | 00:35:29 | |
This week, "What has become of that course of moral instruction, veiled and illustrated by symbols that Freemasonry is supposed to be?" Has Freemasonry lost its Masonic education edge? Are we too hung up on crafted programs created by our membership committees that change every year? What could be a simple way of ensuring Masonic education finds its way to every member? Then, we've got an all-new Masonic Minute with Ill. Bro. Steven L. Harrison in which he discusses the topic of heaven and earth. A supreme philosophical outlook on what God is, and how the end of time as we know it will happen, and what that means for us--philosophically, of course. All this and more, stay tuned!

| Whence Came You? - 0537 - Are You Festive "Bored?" | 21 Mar 2022 | 00:57:05 | |
This week, Darin A. Lahners dives into the seventh question of "Whither Are We Traveling?" Do we pay enough attention to the festive board? Does your lodge know the difference between a festive board and a table lodge? If the answer is, "… It's the same thing.", I'm sorry to tell you that's just not true. We'll break apart the differences. We'll talk about the necessity for the festive board--one of Freemasonry's fundamental tools for making this world better by making good men better. Then we'll hear the tale of Nathaniel Beverly Tucker, as illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison takes us through this week's Masonic Minute. A troubled Past Grandmaster moving from Christian denomination to Christian denomination due to his dubious beliefs. Did Nathaniel Beverley Tucker plan the entire secession of the South? You'll have to listen to find out. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a single Tarot card draw. We'll be working with the coveted Manly P. Hall and J. A Knapp Tarot deck. Are you strong-willed, bold, and ready to execute on challenges? Find out all this and more. Stay tuned!

| Whence Came You? - 0536 - The Lodge that Wasn't Over Simpkins' Store | 14 Mar 2022 | 00:51:25 | |
This week, we're back with part seven of Whither Are We Traveling? Darin Lahners gives his generational outlook on the question of whether America's passion for bigness and efficiency has ruined Masonic charity. Why do we, as Americans, need to be acknowledged for our charitable efforts? Doesn't looking for acknowledgment stray from the path of altruism? Then, a staple of romanticized Freemasonry, the Lodge Over Simpkin's Store, an original poem written by Most Worship Lawrence N. Greenleaf for the Grand Lodge of Colorado. Some say it was a real place. Brother Patrick Dey takes on The Lodge Over Simpkin's Store in this week's Masonic Mythbusters. Finally, we'll wrap it up with the discussion around the ace of pentacles. As a Tarot card, what does it mean for you masonically? What does it mean for you and your personal life? Do its prescribed meanings give rise to thoughts in your mind about future opportunities? All this and more-- stay tuned!

| Whence Came You? - 0535 - Craft Freemasonry VS The Rest | 07 Mar 2022 | 00:48:56 | |
This week, Darin Lahners tackles the question, what happens when we allow Freemasonry to be broken up into several smaller organizations that demand our time and market themselves as something more or greater than symbolic lodge? Is that even appropriate? Then, we'll have an all-new Masonic Minute with Illustrious Brother Steven L Harrison. Do you remember that time you were asked to deposit something and were unable to? Steve talks about the Rite of Destitution, its importance, and the lesson it teaches all of us. Finally, we'll draw a Tarot card from an apropos deck for this month. Is it time to just take a nap? Maybe!

| Whence Came You? - 0534 - The Truth About Tolerance | 28 Feb 2022 | 01:15:48 | |
This week, are Grand Lodges too obsessed with growing the numbers of their individual lodges? Darin Lahners takes another look at Dwight L. Smith's work and gives his contemporary response. Can Freemasonry become so big that it becomes impersonal? This would be antithetical to the entire Craft. Then, we'll turn toward the philosophic realm of a concept called Toleration. The practice of tolerating something, in particular, differences of opinion or behavior--what does tolerance really mean philosophically? And how do we approach this in Freemasonry? Finally, we'll wrap it up with a single card Tarot draw. Are we shying away from potential successful opportunities? All this and more? Stay tuned!

| Whence Came You? - 0532 - The 5 Es of Lodge Success with Jordan Kelly | 14 Feb 2022 | 01:22:51 | |
This week, we're talking about the things we don't do. We will explore the Five ES of a Successful Lodge with fellow Masonic education enthusiast, Illinois Freemason, and Education Committee member Jordan Kelly. How can you ensure your candidate is coming back for more? Here's a clue--it's not by teaching them about how to do floor work or dubbing them with the title of Apprentice Pancake Flipper. Jordan brings his professional expertise to a much-needed conversation about a successful Masonic Lodge formula. In addition to all this, we also hear likely the most accurate, historically honest, and exciting history of absinthe in an all-new Masonic Myth Busters with Patrick Dey. Absinthe is often considered a mystical beverage consumed by vampires, occultists, and well…just regular connoisseurs. All this and more are coming right up!

| Whence Came You? - 0529 - Into the Cult of Mithras | 24 Jan 2022 | 00:56:28 | |
This week, we look at the Cult of Mithras, and by the end of the article, you'll have felt that perhaps, you are a "Raven." Then, we'll hear from WB:. Bro. Patrick Dey, in the next installment of Masonic Myth Busters. There's a lot to say about McGregor Mathers and his translation of the Abramelin. Patrick takes the question head-on--did MacGregor Mathers pick the worst possible translation to work from? Then we'll take a look at the continuing series of Whither Are We Traveling, with a somewhat generational look at the original 1964 publication. WB:. Darin Lahners gives us a unique perspective on how well are we guarding the Westgate, if at all. Better investigation committees? Background checks? What's the answer?

| Whence Came You? - 0528 - The Wrong Leaders | 17 Jan 2022 | 00:44:55 | |
This week, we hear Darin A Lahners' continued op-ed on "Whither are We Traveling." Can we expect Freemasonry to retain its past glory and prestige unless the level of leadership is raised above its present position? Darin has a unique perspective on this. Having been a master of a couple of different Lodges in a great mix of both city and rural areas. You're not going to want to miss it. Then we hear from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison in an all-new Masonic Minute. Who is Elvis Wingo? Well, in short, a Masonic Superman. In this one, he outlines one of Freemasonry's gems--a doctor, a child genius, and a whole lot more. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a contemplative exercise on a particular Tarot card. Which one is it? The only hint I'll give you is, "A loss of three. A gain of two. And, it's inversed.

This week, we explore the first part of "Whither Are We Traveling?" a multipart series by Brother Darin A Lahners. In this exploration, Darin dives into Dwight L Smith's seminal work "Whither Are We Traveling?" and asks some very pertinent questions. While this particular paper was the subject of "Laudable Pursuit" many years ago, what can we say about it today? Brother Darin has some ideas. Then, we'll hear from Worshipful Brother Patrick Dey in this first installment of Masonic Myth Busters. Did the Christians steal Christmas from the Pagans? We'll get a little reflective as we remember the life of RWB. Thomas W. Jackson. And finally, we'll wrap it up by drawing a Tarot card and reflecting on its practical meaning in our everyday lives.

| Whence Came You? - 0522 - Secrets of the Moon | 22 Nov 2021 | 00:44:20 | |
This week, we explore the symbol of one of the lesser-known in Freemasonry--the Moon. We often think it means just relating to the equilibrium of ruling a Lodge, but could it mean more? Is the secret pertaining to divine feminine energy? And can it also have a historical and practical purpose within our ritual? We've also got a great, all-new Masonic Minute segment with Illustrious Brother Harrison. What happens when Steve sits down for lunch and realizes the Brothers he's talking to have never heard of perhaps the most considerable Masonic controversy ever? What is the danger of not knowing about this strange tale in Masonic history? All this and more, stay tuned!

| Whence Came You? - 0521 - Conspiracies, Fake News, and How We Can Overcome | 15 Nov 2021 | 00:42:24 | |
This week Darin Lahners sheds some light on some of the wild conspiratorial manifestos that have been dropped off at Masonic lodges all over Illinois. How does this speak of the collective thoughts on Freemasonry today, and what are its dangers? And what is the possible threat specifically affecting Freemasonry? Then, we'll travel nearly 70 years in the past to take a look at how Freemasons were persecuted during the Holocaust. We're not going to talk about the "Forget Me Not" at all. We'll talk about the real thing and give you some historical context on the conspiracy theories and propaganda that existed back in 1925. We'll then look at modern-day and why people believe in conspiracy theories according to science. And finally, we'll draw a Tarot card and discuss its meaning. All this and more, stay tuned!

This week, we look at society's decline through perhaps one of the most influential platforms in our lives today--social media. Brother Greg Knot talks about this issue and how Freemasonry can bring society back together. Then we've got a brand-new segment from Brother Matt Gallagher. In his segment on Practical Freemasonry, he talks about just what is "Practical Freemasonry" and some of the dangers of not knowing your audience. We'll wrap it up with an exploration of science. Just what is science? In Freemasonry, we have the seven liberal arts and sciences. In what context do we study them? And can science always be trusted?

| Whence Came You? - 0516 - The Magic Ritual | 11 Oct 2021 | 00:42:10 | |
This week, we talk about the magic in ritual. Is it truly magic, or is it a psychological change that rearranges how man thinks about life? In this great piece from Brother Akram R. Elias, PGM, we talk about the "magic" of ritual. Then, we'll hear the tale of William Dodd. A Freemason who got into some trouble, forged his signature in order to pay back some debts, and got caught up in a wild tale you're not going to want to miss in an all-new Masonic Minute from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison. We'll wrap it up with a segment from Brother Matt Gallagher in Practical Freemasonry. When we talk about a lodge's retention point, this isn't some magical number that talks about how well your lodge is doing. In fact, it's the point in a man's journey in Freemasonry that he decides it's for him, and he's in for life. So, where is that point in the Masonic journey? As we'll see, it's not necessarily the third degree—all this and more. Stay tuned! App extras include the paper we read. Links PD Newman on WCY Akram R.

This week, as we travel through the year Masonically, sometimes things become a little laid back--things become not exciting, and then one day, our thumbs stop scrolling. We see something inspiring, and that's just what Brother Randy Sanders has in store for us as he talks about inspiring events happening in Freemasonry. What could it mean for all of us? Then we'll hear from Brother Matt Gallagher in his exclusive, Practical Freemasonry segment. Why should you be a Mason? And perhaps, why you shouldn't? We'll wrap it up with a new piece from the Midnight Freemasons. Brother. JP brings up a very important topic. What happens when we let basic beliefs become politicized and what effect does that have on Freemasonry? All this and more, stay tuned!

This week, we ask the question, what is moral courage? How many of us have moral courage in the lodge room?

This week we explore what the New Age Magazine once thought about Martian life and how to communicate with Mars. A Masonic magazine talking about communications with Mars? That's right. We'll be shooting for the stars as we check out this awesome article from Dr. John Bozeman. Then, we hear from Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison as he gives us the perfect recipe for putting on a Masonic event.

| Whence Came You? - 0510 - Titles in Leadership | 30 Aug 2021 | 00:35:01 | |
This week we explore a conundrum about Lodges. For those of us out there who have no specific dogma in our religions, if we even have one, could Lodge be considered a church? We'll explore this question in great detail. Then, what do female hummingbirds and their flashy feathers have to do with Freemasonry? Here's a clue, flashy colors equals lapel pins and medals. How do we use those? How do we define titles? And should we get rid of titles altogether? All this and more in this edifying episode of Whence Came You--stay tuned!

| Whence Came You? - 0508 - Mystical to Practical: Finding Balance | 16 Aug 2021 | 00:52:06 | |
This week, we continue the conversation about ritual--its importance and meaning, as we read a piece from New York Mason. In it, he reveals the secrets of past rituals and rites, what those rites of passages do for modern and contemporary society, and mostly lays bare one of the greatest threats to Craft Freemasonry. Then we'll hear from Ill. Bro. Steve Harrison as he tells a fantastic tale of Sammy, a Master Mason, who does some incredible things, and later, it turns personal. We'll wrap it all up with a brief discussion on the idea of balance or equilibrium. Where does the word come from? What does it mean? And as we think about it in our practical application, we ask how we can utilize that thinking in making our lives better. All this and more, stay tuned!
