Welcome to my blog on Masonry.  I have decided to keep a record of my journey for both my own sentimentalism and for the benefit of those who would seek to join the world's oldest fraternal organization.  This is, in essence, the story of a man endeavoring to better himself through the application of Masonic teachings and ideals.

Fellowship

This past Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of visiting Philo Lodge No. 243 in South River, NJ to see a Fellowcraft Degree be put on.  It was also my first time traveling to another Lodge so it was quite an interesting experience.  The Brethren of Philo Lodge did an excellent job with the degree and it was a prime opportunity for me to soak in the details I had missed by virtue of the hoodwink during my own Fellowcraft degree.  I also had much to learn about floorwork, signing in and out of the lodge and various other ritual movements that I was previously unaware of. 

Afterwards we had a humble meal, satisfying in it's simplicity, and flavored by fellowship.  All in all, it was a great evening with some great people and I look forward to February 5th when I will be travelling to Milltown Lodge No. 294 to see an Entered Apprentice degree.

Congratulations are in order to the two Brothers from Philo Lodge on their advancement to Fellowcraft and I wish them the best in learning their next proficiency.
