Today I went to the National Heritage Museum in Lexington, a facility founded by the Scottish Rite Supreme Council, Northern Jurisdiction, which had their offices across the lawn.
I enjoyed the museum – the facilities were well laid out and the topics well communicated. The current main event was Sowing the Seeds of Liberty, about the [...]

I promise not to turn this into a Tarot blog, and I’ll make this brief, but today I received my Alchemical Tarot: renewed (the last one of my standing orders), and it is simply too cool not to mention (designed by Robert Place). And alchemy is absolutely a part of freemasonry – see the Alchemy [...]

My latest Tarot deck arrived today, Liber T: Tarot of Stars Eternal. It was designed by Roberto Negrini and illustrated by Andrea Serio.
Liber T is a sort of mash-up of Crowley’s Book of Thoth (that’s the ‘Liber’ and the ‘T’ right there), with some further Golden Dawn astrological influences and Egyptian astronomy (allegedly). At first [...]

(Well, I missed the planned second part of this series, but I’ll get around to that one sooner or later.)
Yesterday I had the tatoo done, and it was a good experience. I had communicated with the artist, Gordon, but I hadn’t actually seen any artwork, so that was pretty exciting. When I saw the illustration [...]

Yeah, I’m finally getting my tatoo. I had some internal back and forth on what to get, where it should go, the timing etc. But last year I made the decision to get it done, and while here in California, I finally came to the conclusion that I should stop agonising over the exact image, [...]

Last year I decided to pick up a correspondence course based on Tarot, a “society” created by Paul Foster Case, called BOTA, Builders of the Adytum. You basically pay a monthly fee to subscribe to a series of lessons, a few pages of text per week; you can pause at any time and pick [...]
