Politics and Religion in Freemasonry with The Traveling Brothers 11/22/2022

Politics and Religion in Freemasonry with The Traveling Brothers Politics and Religion are a prohibited topic inside a Masonic Lodge during their meetings. But why? It is no mystery that the topics of Politics and Religion can be incendiary and cause a lot of conflict among people. But how come a society that professes to be able to keep their passions within due bounds restrain from some of the topics that could best test that self-control? In this episode of The Winding Stairs Freemasonry Podcast, I am joined by three Brothers of varied religious and political views to discuss this very puzzling feature of Freemasonry. Connect with us!

Inconsistency in Freemasonry | Does it help or hinder? 11/15/2022

Inconsistency in Freemasonry | Does it help or hinder? How can we maintain consistency in Freemasonry? inconsistency in Freemasonry is a major problem when it interferes with the onboarding of new candidates, when it provides an inconsistent experience for its members, and when it gives outsiders a negative impression of our organization. In this episode of The Winding Stairs, we discuss Inconsistency in Freemasonry. I sit down with Bro. Andrew Rizzitello to discuss what aspect of Freemasonry need more consistency and which aspects can present benefits by being "inconsistent" or unique. Bro. Rizzitello is Past Master (2021) and current Tiler of Olive Branch Lodge No. 16, Freehold NJ. He is a co-host of The Extended Branch masonic podcast and you can find him sharing Masonic Light on TikTok as @Metal_Drew.

Lodge Visitation | Masonic Credentials, Recognition, and Technology 10/05/2022

Lodge Visitation | Masonic Credentials, Recognition, and Technology Lodge visitation is one of the greatest perks you have as a Freemason. As a Master Mason, you are entitled to visit other Masonic Lodges around the world. That means, that despite not knowing anyone in another country, you can go to a Lodge and instantly connect with a group of Brothers who will treat you like family. In this episode of The Winding Stairs, I have a conversation with Michael Radigan and Jeremy Barnes, the developers of the Mobile App called Amity. This app serves as your dues card, travel patent, lodge finder, etc. It is a great hub for Brothers to connect during their Masonic Travels.

Don't be a CircumPunk | Masonic Self Control 09/20/2022

Don't be a CircumPunk | Masonic Self Control I believe that Freemasonry has benefited greatly from the connectivity that the Internet has provided. Today, curious people from around the globe, who once only heard sporadically about this organization, can do a little research and even find a Lodge nearby for them to approach. However, the connectivity of the internet hasn’t only brought positive things to the fraternity, it has also served as a fertile ground for a mischievous creature I like to call… The CircumPunk. You may have heard of the circumpunct before, that symbol of the point within a circle, which alludes to our ability to circumscribe our desires and keep our passions within due bounds. Well, the CircumPunk is no other than that Brother who neglects the lessons of the compasses and allows their imprudence to know no bounds.

Masonic Officers' Progressive Line Issues 08/16/2022

Masonic Officers' Progressive Line Issues The leadership system of a Masonic Lodge is one of predictable and progressive steps. When a Brother joins the officer line, we have a pretty good idea of who the leaders of the Lodge will be for the next 5 - 7 years. But only if things run smoothly. And you and I both know that if there is room for things to go wrong, they often do.

How to have Masonry Family Balance | Happy wife, Happy Masonic Life 08/09/2022

How to have Masonry Family Balance | Happy wife, Happy Masonic Life How does a man achieve Masonry family balance? The last thing you want to hear from your wife is, "Again? Are you going to be in Lodge every single night?”. You know about the cable tow, you know that Family and Vocation come first. Unfortunately, there are many Brothers who ignore the cautionary tale and put Freemasonry above all else. Many times at the expense of their relationships.

Alex Powers, the host of Historical Light Masonic Podcast, about the efforts he has made to preserve the history of his Lodge and to inspire countless Brothers to preserve theirs. This is only half of this fascinating conversation, the other half will be published in his podcast.

Freemasonry on the Moon 07/19/2022

Freemasonry on the Moon Did you know that the first words uttered by Man from the surface of the moon were not the ones most people think? The first words, as documented by NASA’s audio files, were “Contact Light”. These words were uttered by astronaut “Buzz” Aldrin. The irony of these words is that, not only was this the first time humans contacted the surface of another heavenly body, but it was the first time Freemasonry made physical contact with the moon. Among the personal items that Buzz Aldrin brought with him on this historic flight, he brought a Masonic Flag. Yes, the second man to walk on the surface of the moon was a Freemason. This episode features an exploration into the presence of Freemasonry on the moon through the efforts of Brother Edwin Buzz Aldrin and the subsequent presence of the moon in Freemasonry through the establishment of Tranquility Lodge No. 2000 and the various artifacts brought back from the moon. Let’s explore the connection between Freemasonry and the Moon and how these events set in motion the future establishment of the First Masonic Lodge on the surface of the moon. All that and more on this episode of The Winding Stairs These are exciting times for Science! For months, astronomy enthusiasts have been excitedly awaiting the release of the first photos from the James Webb Space Telescope. A $10 Billion Dollar project to put the largest and most capable telescope out in Space. There are two primary reasons why every Freemason in the world should be excited about this event. 1. As Masons we are encouraged to study Astronomy (We answer why in this episode) and 2. This telescope was named after Brother James Webb… A Freemason.

A $10 Billion Dollar project to put the largest and most capable telescope out in Space. There are two primary reasons why every Freemason in the world should be excited about this event. 1. As Masons we are encouraged to study Astronomy (We answer why in this episode) and 2. This telescope was named after Brother James Webb… A Freemason.

Part upon the Square | How Freemasons behave virtuously 06/28/2022

Part upon the Square | How Freemasons behave virtuously It is said that Freemasons part upon the square. If we recognize the symbolism of the Square, we will recognize that this means that Masons behave virtuously in their walking through life. In order for us to walk uprightly through life, extending our kindness and acting with virtue, it is important that we are clear about which virtues we are to exemplify. In this episode of The Winding Stairs, we will discuss how does a mason put into practice the virtuous lessons contained within the Craft. Let's make sure in everything we do, we part upon the square. Equipment used: Did you like the quality of our video, here are some of the tools and services we use and recommend*.

The Lewis | The Father Son legacy in Freemasonry 06/14/2022

The Lewis | The Father Son legacy in Freemasonry The Lewis Jewel commemorates the long legacy of fathers and son who share a common bond with our Fraternity. Imagine having to lift and reposition hundreds or thousands of stones The Lewis is a tool used by operative masons to facilitate the lifting and positioning of heavy stones. It is a strong yet simple design that serves as the connection between the stone and a crane or pulley system. In speculative Masonry, the son of a Mason is referred to as a Lewis. In this episode of The Winding Stairs, lets explore the lewis jewel, the operative mason tool with the same name and what roles it plays in our fraternity today.

Act by the Plumb | How Freemasonry builds upright men 06/07/2022

Act by the Plumb | How Freemasonry builds upright men In order for a structure to be soundly built, it has to rest upon a solid level foundation. Otherwise, the higher it rises, the more unstable it becomes. In Freemasonry, we stand before our Brothers as an Upright Man and are instructed to act as such. Today, we will discuss what it means to be an upright man. What does it mean to act by the proverbial plumb. This and more on this episode of The Winding Stairs.

Meeting on the Level | Sitting at separate tables 05/31/2022

Meeting on the Level | Sitting at separate tables What does it mean to meet on the level? It means that regardless of your economic, social, or religious background when you meet with other Brothers, you are equals. As Freemasons, we are called to regard the entirety of the human race as One Family. Therefore, whether we are meeting at Lodge, or out in the world employing our usual vocations, we are to treat all members of the human race as if they were our own family. In this episode of The Winding Stairs. I will share with you some tips that will make this important lesson easier to follow.

Masonic Lodge Meetings | What to avoid and improve 05/17/2022

Masonic Lodge Meetings | What to avoid and improve Our stated meetings don't have a reputation for being the most amazing in the world. Honestly, sometimes our meetings resemble more a HOA meeting than anything else. But it doesn't have to be that way. Our Fraternity has a long tradition of bestowing the meetings with elements of solemnity and ritual that have the potential of leaving a positive impression in the attendants mind. On this episode of TWS, I sit down with W. Manny Lozada to revisit a conversation we had a few years ago , where we discuss Meaningful Lodge Experiences. Manny gives us an update on what things he has implemented in Lodge for that purpose. We hope you find this episode edifying.

Freemasonry Down Under | The Lost Interview 08/28/2019

Freemasonry Down Under | The Lost Interview Freemasonry Down Under | The Uniqueness of Australian Masonry Freemasonry down under may be slightly different than what you may think. The structure of the organization is very interesting in a way that allows for the ritual to be separate from the administrative side of Masonry. For example, Victoria Freemasons have a CEO who handles the business side of the organization. Interestingly enough, in 2016 this male-only organization was led by a woman. In this episode of The Winding Stairs, I share with you an interview that I had thought I had lost forever. After almost having to hire a cyber forensics team and after many hours of editing, I was able to restore this conversation about how Freemasonry is practiced in Australia.

A Freemason and a Gentleman | 3 easy tips to really make a difference 08/20/2019

A Freemason and a Gentleman | 3 easy tips to really make a difference Is a Freemason a Gentleman? It is said that Freemasonry takes good men and makes them better. When applied effectively, any man who follows the tenets of Freemasonry will begin to resemble more and more what we call a gentleman. But, are all Masons gentlemen? Of course not. Just like not all religious people are saints. However, if we are putting to practice what we learn in Freemasonry, we are surely on our way to being regarded as gentlemen. On this episode of The Winding Stairs, I share 3 easy-to-implement tips that can help us really make a difference in our lives and behave more like gentlemen. Bonus: I will give you a sneak peek at my podcast called "The Gentlemen's Brotherhood". Although not a Masonic podcast, it shares with my other programs the desire to help men become better.
