Brother Father

Honestly, don't look up the first degree ritual online before going through the ceremony. I knew little, only what everyone knows through popular culture, and had the time of my life: only wish I'd known even less. Mystery and surprise are what make it so powerful.

The @radnorlodge Installation tonight. 5 30 pm tile, we sat down for Festive Board at 8 and I'm already on the road (as a passenger) heading for home. Nothing felt rushed. A festive board in 1¾ hours is actually possible.

Masons helping conserve ancient masonry. Well done, Alex.

Never underestimate what a #Freemason can do for the good of mankind.

@Masonicmoron Makes me hungry just looking at this.

Homemade #MasonicBreakfast today

@CClark_UK @prayerbook_soc Sound, brother.

@wiltspgl @pgm_pglwilts We are. That's a great shot.

We are so fortunate to have a superb photographer with a keen eye for the dramatic. @pgm_pglwilts

#Freemasonry certainly seems to be thriving in Iceland. I noticed this large and well-kept hall in Selfoss when I drove past it on holiday in Iceland in April. #freemason #frimurarareglan 4/4

Here's Björnsson with his official car at some characteristically stunning Icelandic scenery. Included just because I think it's a fab photo. 3/4

Have just discovered that Sveinn Björnsson, the first President of Iceland, was a brother—as well as being one of the most significant statesmen the island nation has ever produced. #freemason #frimurarareglan 1/4

Have just discovered that Harry Corbett, the puppeteer who created Sooty, was a brother: initiated into the Chevin Lodge No. 6848 in @WYFreemasons. He was the lodge organist for some time. @UGLE_GrandLodge

In Ludgershall Masonic Hall, for the first time, to visit Border Lodge No 3129. Slowly working my way round all @wiltspgl venues. A treat to hear the Walking Charge performed so well by a visiting brother from @HantsMason.

John Wood the Elder, architectural genius behind much of Georgian Bath, was a freemason who had masonic symbols carved into many of his buildings. On a grander scale, his masterpiece, The Circus, intentionally forms a key shape with neighbouring Queens Sq and Gay St. @PGLSomerset

@HebrewForMasons I'm so sorry. Prayers for you.

After over 21 years, I'm officially single.

Proud to receive my 2028 @wiltspgl festival jewel at @radnorlodge from the Provincial Grand Charity Steward tonight. All yours for the cost of a small monthly standing order to @Masonic_Charity. @pgm_pglwilts Charity - it's in a Freemason's DNA.

Taggart, our latest @guidedogs puppy came to visit Radnor Lodge for our Christmas dinner last night, and even brought some of his friends! A thoroughly enjoyable evening, with lots of charity money raised at the raffle. Thanks to the stewards from @Stonehenge_6114 also!

The Grand Master! 🥃

@cath_cov I'm Brother Father and I approve this message.

The inclusion of 'Freemason' here - implying that it equates to heterodox beliefs - inevitably leads me to point out that the Loyalist, orthodox Anglican Samuel Seabury was also a Freemason and that the Loyalist, orthodox Anglican Charles Inglis publicly praised the Freemasons.

@Masonicmoron Sssshh! That's one of the secrets. 🐐

@BrotherFather I recently found out that the goat means: Greatest Of All Time

Just back from Salisbury for a visit to The City Lodge No 5955 - sorry, was too imaginationally exhausted to take a relevant photo. I also just discovered that Unicode provides for an actual goat emoji!🐐
