What if they're wrong? Many Masons think of mergers as the death of a lodge - but what if they're wrong? Death... or a new beginning? There are many ways for a Lodge to come to its end. The important thing to consider here is that not every end is final. Sometimes the end of one thing is simply the beginning of another. Bros Darrell and Bryan are firmly of the belief that a merger between two lodges can result in something that is greater than the sum of its parts. This, friends and brethren all, is the story of The Happy Merger of Ezekiel Bates and St. James. Wherein two great friends come together to become something more than the sum of their parts. What's in this episode: What is a merger, and how does it work? Discussion from before and after the merger of Ezekiel Bates Lodge and St. James Lodge. Darrell and Bryan get a little off-topic and catch up on things that have gone on lately.

MasonicCon 2018 has come and gone. It was a lot of work which resulted in an incredible experience for all. But what IS MasonicCon, and what should Masonic Education really be about? 3rd Time's A Charm. This was the 3rd year Ezekiel Bates Lodge hosted MasonicCon, and this year was better than ever before. The brethren of the lodge learned from the past two events and used the knowledge gained to reorganize, bettter prepare, and execute a better event. From arranging the speakers and vendors to bringing in a food truck, the event's execution was on point. The actual content of the event was even better, too.  It's About Sharing The Light. Quality Light. Wor. Co-Host Simmons will be the first to tell you - it's not just about accepting ANY speaker or vendor. There were a number of speakers that offered to come give a presentation, but ultimately were turned down. MasonicCon is about providing not just education, but quality education - the better to further the Craft. The vendors present were of a similar caliber - only those with quality, worthwhile products were present. A Meaningful Day For Many Men, Masons, and Friends Alike. Based on feedback during and after the event, it's clear that this event was a deeply meaningful day for everyone involved. Reviews and commentary continue to roll in all over the internet about the friendship and brotherly love that was felt that day, and about how much everyone learned and was entertained by the speakers. All in all, it's safe to say MasonicCon was a deeply impactful day, and many Masons and friends are eagerly awaiting the next. Prepare yourself for MasonicCon 2019. What's in this episode: We talk all about Masonic Con 2018. Men from the lodge putting it on talk about what it’s all about, where it came from, and where it’s going. As well as a bit of discussion on masonic education in general and the value this all has for the craft.

Josephine McCarthy and Michael Sheppard of Quareia: A New School of Magic for the 21st Century join us in podcast episode 182. You can find Quareia online at https://www.quareia.com. Josephine McCarthy has appeared twice previously on the podcast to discuss her earlier books on exorcism and magic. She is the author of the Quareia course. Michael Sheppard is the editor and the author of an upcoming book on Egyptian magic. Josephine, Michael, Rudolf, and I have a great conversation about magic, mystery schools, and mostly Quareia, a wonderful new online magic course that is offered for free is undoubtedly a strong contender for best course material available. “Quareia, the new school of magic for the 21st century, is a concept that was born out of conversations between adepts Josephine McCarthy and Frater Acher; two European magicians with solid magical reputations. The course is spread over three sections: Apprentice, Initiate, and Adept. Each section has ten modules, and each module has eight lessons. Each of the three sections is approximately five hundred thousand words: it is the most extensive, in-depth, and intelligent up to date magical course that is currently available worldwide. There are no teachers: the course is designed specifically for lone exploration, experience and study. The success of the Quareia student comes from hard work/personal application, inner contact, and the necessary study and work. It is a very old way of teaching and completely side steps all of the degeneracy that magical schools can become entangled in. Quareia teaches the skills that underpin many different forms of magic. Rather than just teaching a specific magical style, through learning the structural underlying techniques, forms and skills, and their various cultural, magical, and at times religious expressions from different cultures, the Quareia magician will be able to access any form of magic and understand it.” If you’ve heard Josephine in any of her two prior interviews here or read any of her work, you’re already aware of how special she is. The depth and quality of the work that has gone into the creation of Quareia is astounding. If I had to recommend a single resource for learning the art of magic, it would undoubtedly be Quareia. That is a heavy endorsement, but one I feel certain about after having worked with enough schools and systems to have the ability to compare. Quareia provides potential students with an excellent source of knowledge to begin and sustain their magical training. I highly recommend it! If you haven’t already taken a look, the Occult of Personality Membership Section has been redesigned and resurrected as The Chamber of Reflection at https://chamberofreflection.com. There, Josephine, Michael, Rudolf, and I continue the interview to discuss some rather interesting occurrences and lessons learned during the creation of the Quareia course. Join us for that fascinating conversation! On Saturday, July 29th, Ezekiel Bates Lodge and Lvmen Scientiae will host a day of talks on the subject of Alchemy & Transformation! Our presenters include renowned alchemist Brian Cotnoir discussing the famed Emerald Tablet, eastern medicine practitioner and author Craig Williams speaking about the use of plant medicines and bodily health for self-realization, host of the Glitch Bottle podcast Alexander Eth talking about the magical grimoire tradition as an avenue for self-transformation, and yours truly presenting material from David Chaim Smith's upcoming book Deep Principles of Kabbalistic Alchemy. This is a singularly amazing opportunity to hear about many aspects of alchemy and magic in a single day! There will not be another event like this anytime soon, so I encourage you to attend. Tickets are $15.00 per person and available now at https://eb1870.org/alchemy-transformation/. I’d like to remind you that although you’re able to listen to this podcast at no charge, the costs to produce it are significant. Your financial contributions ensure the continuity of the free podcast.

Today in Masonic History Josiah Williams Begole passes away in 1896. http://www.masonrytoday.com/index.php... In this episode, we get to have a great chat with Bro.
