Let's talk about symbolism! Please join Brothers Rhit Moore, Gabriel Jagush, and Billy Hamilton as they discuss some of the non-secret symbols from the Master's degree. How does all of this tie into the Craft? Is Gabe reaching too far to find symbolism? What's up with all of the historical inaccuracies in the description of the 47th Problem of Euclid? What the heck are all these symbols that aren't familiar to our brethren outside of the Preston-Webb framework? All this, and more!

Part three of three! Here we take a look at the Blue Lodge degree that receives the least love but has the most to offer in terms of learning. The Fellowcraft degree is deep and rich - it's hard to discuss it outside a tyled lodge, so we'll be talking in generalities for the most part. What do you do with so much knowledge? What's the best way to look for light? Let's tackle this. Please join Brothers Rhit Moore and Gabriel Jagush as they discuss the Fellowcraft degree.

Let's reel it WAY back. You've been initiated as a Mason... Where do you go from here? We've decided to expand our episode, "I'm Finally a Master Mason - Now What?" to include the Entered Apprentice and Fellowcraft degrees. While the path is narrower, and more-clearly defined, it's often difficult to get the best mileage out of these two degrees. Please join Brothers Rhit Moore, Grant Gates, and Gabriel Jagush, as they discuss just some of the many ways you can make the most out of being an Entered Apprentice.Let's reel it WAY back.

Join Brothers Rhit Moore, Grant Gates, and Gabriel Jagush as they sit down to discuss "The Laws of the Grand Lodge of Texas, A.F. & A.M.," colloquially known as the "Grand Lodge Law Book." This is an essential read for any Texan Mason, as is the respective law book for our brothers in other Jurisdictions. Gabe has a lot of questions, and Rhit and Grant have a lot of answers. Can you get in trouble for suggesting changes to the rules? Are you allowed to be a Communist and join a Masonic Lodge in Texas? Who's in charge of the rules, anyway, and what happens when you break them? Learn the answers to these questions, and more, in this episode!

"Masonic High Priestess of Satan" is one heck of a job title. Join us this week as Brothers Rhit Moore, Grant Gates, and Gabriel Jagush talk about the infamous Taxil Hoax. It's a classic subject in Masonic practical education, and for good reason! Do you know how to make tables float and turn furniture into crocodiles? Have you encountered the greatest pre-Internet trolling ever? Was Albert Pike a Satanist? Why did the Devil buy real estate in South Carolina? Let's take a peek inside the mind of one of the most convincingly charismatic con-men ever to walk the planet.
