If you have a lot of Mason friends and follow various Masonic and related personalities, like I do, you for sure have noticed how profile photos have been shifting to the signature style portrait drawings of artist Travis Simpkins. Phoenixmasonry is pleased to have had the opportunity to interview this prolific artist so we can […]

Smashing The Pyramid
I’m constantly amazed at the new discovery by some of the things in plain sight for centuries. I can’t say for certain about Canada, but American Masonic lodges have been pretty open in recent years, some open across an entire state. Maybe this video troupe is part of the gotcha media, the one that Sarah […]

Once again the Beehive is indebted to Brother Wayne Anderson of Ontario, Canada for a great article. Every Sunday Brother Anderson sends out an article to “his list.” If you would like to be on his list please contact him at [email protected]. The subject of the origins of Freemasonry is a hot potato. The article […]

Possessed by the Devil of Commercial Avarice
I take great wisdom from Albert Pike. When taken in portion, his writings in Morals and Dogma strike me almost a prophecy along the lines of Nostradamus or the Oracles of Delphi. It was in a deep reading of his work on the third degree that I found the passages below. In navigating his writing […]

I was reading through Pikes 11th degree – Prince Ameth for a paper I’m working on and ran across this passage which I liked and wanted to share.

The Masonic Bible

Enjoy I really like the 2nd […]

Japan is sending a probe to Lucifer. Well, not the Biblical Lucifer, but the Roman one, the celestial body that heralds the rising and falling Sun in the sky, and they plan to get there aboard the Venus Climate Orbiter – AKATSUKI. In more esoteric terms, especially to any Scottish Rite Mason of the 19th […]

If Freemasonry had a specific dogma Albert Pike would of been one of its most profound Prophets. As it stands, he sits in a pantheon of others such as Mackey, Wilmshurst, Webb, and Preston, just to name a few. The reason I mention Pike in this way, is that for many years his work Morals […]

Recently on a local radio NPR station I happened upon a conversation with the Mayor Rex Parris, of Lancaster California. The conversation was about how the city of Lancaster, a sleepy Air Force town in the outskirts of Los Angeles county, is growing a “Christian community.” In the discussion, Mayor Parris, in a state of […]
