Mark Koltko-Rivera on Masonic Central - Dec 14,2009With the release of The Lost Symbol, many have had the opportunity to read though the work and see the results of Dan Brown's non-Masonic contribution to the mythology of the fraternity. Like his past work, Without a doubt The Lost Symbol is a layerd thiriller that can be analyzed on many different levels to find a variety of different meanings, not surprisingly, not unlike Freemasonry itself.
This week we welcome Brother Mark Koltko-Rivera, author of the forthcoming book, Discovering T ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Lon Milo Duquette on Masonic Central - Nov 30,2009Within in Freemasonry, there are many titles and attributes bestowed upon its members, but few come to the table with the appellation of Magus, with a large number of books from their pen and a many years of practice under their talismaned hand, and in that list none stand out more than Brother Lon Milo Duquette.
A Mason for more than a decade, Br. Duquette has spent many more of his years studying the realms of the tarot, Qabalah, Thelema, and Enochian Vision magic. Capturing the essence ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

The Sanctum Sanctorum on Masonic Central - Nov 16,2009Freemasons like to talk, a lot, and usually for good reason. Beyond the usual what time a dinner is being held or who has knocked at the temple door with interest, a great driving aspect of the fraternity is understanding why it is we do what we do, and to hear from others who may have gone down that road and can offer some insight to the journey. Thankfully, many groups exist in the fora, on a range of topics and with varying focus. Some are tiled, while others governed by subscription ...

Crown of Serpents on Masonic Central - Oct 19,2009Where does National Treasure meet The Lost Symbol? Wound together into a Crown of Serpents.
Masonic fiction is an infrequent thing, especially when written by a brother.

This Sunday, we have the opportunity to talk about the latest edition of Masonic fiction from author Michael Karpovage, who has just released his new book Crown of Serpents. ...

Social Media and the Non-Profit - How Social Media is vital to fraternal organizations - Aug 31,2009Social Media has surpassed the expectations of those who declared it a passing trend and it has become a vital component of any individual or business that wants to build their brand and broadcast their message to an ever increasing audience. This is more than Mafia Wars, Bejeweled, or "what famous actor are you" test. This is the creation and delivery of a messages and content that readers will grow to trust, will grow to rely upon, and will look to for opinion.

The return of Masonic Central and the “Masonic Baptism”! - Aug 17,2009After a long summer hiatus, Masonic Central is back and to recommit ourselves to our second year, this weeks show is highly appropriate.

32 Secret Paths of Solomon, Sunday on Masonic Central. - Jun 01,2009Freemasonry and the Qabbalah have a tacit relationship. In many deep philosophical discussions, the two often come up as being interrelated but just as often leave the conversation without a clear connection defined. As a Mason, we can start to study where the Jewish Mysticism has been woven in, but without a deep degree of study and practice, the two still seem as distant as night and day.
This week on Masonic Central, our guest Timothy Hogan will join us to talk about this mysticism an ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
