Well, it has been a quiet few months, with little to report. However, that was because a lot has been progressing and bubbling away under the surface (and because I told you I would never write something just to fill space…)! With the relaxation in travel restrictions I have also been traveling again: firstly – […]
I am excited to announce the publication of the English translation of Rémi Boyer’s book Freemasonry as a Way of Awakening, expertly rendered into English by Michael Sanborn. Rémi is very well-known on the French esoteric and Masonic scene, and this is the first of a series of books examining Freemasonry, Martinism, the Rose Croix […]

When a Grand Lodge or, better, the Conference of Grand Masters meets, do you think that it talks about the meaning of Masonic symbols, debates the origins of the Craft or discusses the true meaning of Initiation? Me neither! And yet these were precisely some of the topics discussed at the early Conferences in the […]
This is the diagram designed by Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, while writing down Pasqually’s Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings, to be read alongside Jean-Baptiste Willermoz’ 9th Lesson to his Grands Profès, provided in the prior Post.
