Our Sovereign Grand Master, the Honorable Gerald V. Workman of West Virginia, sat down with us for a wide-ranging discussion about his path in Odd Fellowship and how it led him to the top job in the Order.  He tells about his early days joining the Junior Lodge, his many years working in his local lodge, his eventual path through the chairs of the Grand Lodge of West Virginia, and his journey into the Sovereign Grand Lodge.  Along the way, he has been guided by his strong belief in the principles of Odd Fellowship and his religious faith, both of which work together to guide his world view.  He shares some amazing insights gathered during his time going through the chairs of the Sovereign Grand Lodge and has plenty of inspiration to share.  The Shoutout goes to Durant Lodge #57 of Oklahoma, which is now meeting.  We featured them on Episode Three of this season and it's great that they are getting the lodge functioning.  Toby gave an update on the Christmas Episode and asked listeners what Three Links Odd Cast merch they might like (hint: tote bags and luggage tage!) if we were to offer some.  In the Odd Podge, Toby gave a preview of his double-dip of Degrees hosted at his associate lodge, Ainslie gave an update on the Odd Market in Tuscola (complete with fezzes), Sovereign Grand Master Workman thanked us for inviting him on the podcast, and Mike showcased his new project, the Odd Times.

It's a battle for the fate of the universe as the Dark Side plots, schemes, and fights to gain dominance over the Light Side.  Though this opera predates Mozart's The Magic Flute by several decades, you may find echoes here of Mozart's beloved work, as it is also heavily influenced by the ideals of the Enlightenment and the principles of Freemasonry.  Jean-Philippe Rameau was the pre-eminent French composer of his day, and close with thinkers such as Voltaire.  Rameau's librettist for Zoroastre, Louis de Cahusac, was the secretary for the Grand Master of the Freemasonry's Grand Lodge in Paris.  Join Pat and Grant for a deep dive into this grand, mythical story's cosmic stakes and spiritual resonances.

Mike, Toby, and Ainslie are all safely home from their trip to Pittsburgh and back to their usual lodge activities.  The brothers got together to discuss their experiences at Sovereign Grand Lodge and how they felt the Order was progressing as a result.  They all had wonderful experiences at the event and enjoyed the fellowship and are energized with all kinds of great ideas for the future.  They discuss all those ideas in this episode and give some thoughts about how they may be implemented as soon as next year's session.  The Shoutout goes to another new lodge, this time Sioux Falls #56 in South Dakota.  It's the second lodge in that city, having formed in response to those who wanted to attend lodge earlier in the evening right after work.  In the Odd Podge, Toby talks about attending the Oregon Encampment Weekend, Ainslie previews his Odd Fellows Tattoo Summit in November, and Mike gives some insight into his writings as the new Sovereign Grand Chaplain, including a recurring submission to the IOOF News and work on a new Chaplain's Manual.

RWB Jim Hall talks about Lodges going back to work after being dark for the summer months. He also talks about a Temple Board meeting and how it has inspired him to learn more work! We also go over Craftcast, RWB Bill Carter's Rollout Presentation, & the Grand Lodge of Ohio's Annual Communication!

Freemasonry, a centuries-old fraternity steeped in tradition and ritual, is often associated with older generations. But our Ancient Craft is evolving, with a new generation of leaders emerging to shape its future. WB Will Rothery, Hiram Lodge No. 14, Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon, details the growing trend of Millennial Worshipful Masters – young men who have risen through the ranks to take on the responsibilities of leading their Lodges.Show Notes:Follow the Craftsmen Online Podcast on Spotify.Subscribe to the Craftsmen Online Podcast on Apple Podcasts.Follow Craftsmen Online on YouTube, hit subscribe and get notified the next time we go LIVE with a podcast recording!Visit the Craftsmen Online website to learn more about our next Reading Room event, New York Masonic History, and see the Lafayette Bicentennial Calendar!Get our latest announcements and important updates in your inbox with the Craftsmen Online Newsletter.Email the host, RW Michael Arce!

The 2024 Annual Communication of the Sovereign Grand Lodge was noteworthy for many reasons, not least of which was our live recording of the first episode of Season Five of the Three Links Odd Cast.  We had a packed meeting room full of members from jurisdictions all across the US and Canada on hand for this lively discussion of the state of Odd Fellowship today.  Mike, Ainslie, and Toby had a great time directing the discussion and responding to the audience members' questions and comments.  We heard about new lodges in Nova Scotia and South Dakota, the hot air balloon in New Mexico, learned to pronounce "Skookumchuck," and generally had a great time.  The Shoutout for this episode goes to the newly rechartered Lone Star Encampment #1 of the Jurisdiction of Texas.

In this episode, we delve into the Grand Lodge system, the backbone of Freemasonry. We'll explore the core functions a Grand Lodge is meant to fulfill: is it effectively upholding these duties during a membership decline? We'll dissect whether these traditional roles hold value and are being actively pursued. Finally, we'll ask the tough question: under what circumstances might the Grand Lodge structure itself become obsolete? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of Freemasonry!
