Freemasonry - The Opening of a Lodge

Published 2023-10-06
This is a really fascinating and insightful presentation written by Bro. Arthur E. Powell in 1926. Thanks to the Brethren of Halcyon and Pittsworth United for the opportunity to present this lecture in lodge over the last week.

    Thank you for this beautiful presentation. I first became familiar with this interpretation through Wilmshurst's The Meaning of Masonry. This is excellent information and I hope everyone in the East will familiarize their Officers. I have many thoughts on the EA opening but for this comment I will speak my mind on the Tiler's duties. I have sadly heard many (even Worshipful) Brothers belittle or overlook the Office of Tiler as unimportant or "easy", and I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding and leads to disharmony in the Lodge. Every Tiler should be informed that the Brother's physical safety is in their hands, and not just symbolically. If there were an emergency and the building needed to evacuate, it is his duty to sound the first alarm and see to the safety of all therein. My Lodge has had real actual Cowans show up and try to gain entry, and it is the Tiler's duty to see them off. I hope my Brothers in the East will let their Tilers know the importance and value of their role.

    Thank you for the use of colour and prompts as this was easier to follow thus making easier to understand.

    Really nice explanation without revealing anything.

    I'd like to present this in my Lodge. Do you have a transcript, please? Of course, I would credit you and your excellent channel.

    Wow, sounds more like an occult summoning of powerful male energies than a true, classic spiritual path. Interesting though....
