Here is the penultimate lesson from Willermoz to his students of esoteric and spiritual Freemasonry. It is humbling to realize these letters were written by him exactly 200 years ago this year. This is a brief blog since I am at the Texas Masonicon, about to attend talks before giving mine this afternoon. However, I […]
These two papers again help to flesh out Pasqually’s Treatise, but admittedly, once again, with Willermoz’ deeply Catholic side coloring the explanations. In a way it doesn’t matter too much, since we can easily see where Willermoz goes ‘Catholic dogma’ on us. Still, it is always sad to read another perpetuation of the story of […]
The next two Lessons are a direct message to a new member, and an expansive consideration of the nature of the Trinity. The 4th manuscript is a traditional cautionary tale, gently chiding the new Initiate for his presumption and arrogance, then assuring him of the aid of all his Brethren. It is an old message […]
This third of the nine lessons from Willermoz to his Grands Profès is perhaps the most famous of all his writings. Also called Man-God, a Treatise on the Two Natures of Christ, this priceless document in the Willermoz Archives in the Lyon National Library has even been published as its own book (see the header […]
Well, it has been a busy couple of weeks. We had some of our Chiefs from the UK stay on the East Coast, and the Temple was humming with many wonderful events (those of you linked on Facebook will have seen the Episcopal Consecration, and believe me much more happened which has no place on […]
Dear Friends, I have a favor to ask you – and hopefully an incentive! Many of you have purchased my translations of Saint-Martin and Papus, and have had very kind things to say both on Facebook and in person. Unfortunately, that hasn’t translated to reviews on amazon.com!!! Amazon judges success by a number of factors, […]
This is not a normal post, but a piece of family history. Most families have the proverbial ‘black sheep’, the person nobody mentions. I never knew I had a great uncle called Harry, bother to my grandfather. Recently, going through me mother’s belongings I found an old letter dated 1935, from this relative who was […]
I’m delighted to announce that Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin’s second book, ‘Natural Table’, is now published and available at amazon.com among other sites in the US, as well the most country Amazon websites. Published in 1782, seven years after ‘Of Errors & Truth’, Saint-Martin was still a Freemason and avid follower of Pasqually and his teachings, […]
The good news is, my translation of Saint-Martin’s book “Natural Table” is finally with the printers, and if the proofs look good it should be generally available within the next week. I had hoped it to be out by the end of June, but a bout with pneumonia and a couple of speaking engagements pushed […]
This is less a blog item and more a celebration of just over twenty-two years of friendship with a couple of my oldest and dearest friends and mentors in the United States! Chic and Tabby Cicero have been there for me – as I have for them – through all the trials and tribulations through […]
