Masonic Central episode III – John Ratcliff

by

This last weekend we recorded our third episode with John Ratcliff of the blog JRatcliffscarab.

In the interview we had a chance to talk about a variety of topics including why he became a Freemason, blogging, books on Freemasonry, esoteric Freemasonry vs. ritual magic, symbolism, the Boy Scouts, and traveling to visit other lodges.

For an hour long program, it was a pretty dense conversation.

Please make note of the time change.

Join us this Sunday, June 22nd, at 9am PST for a conversation with Freemason and blogger John Ratcliff of the Masonic blog at http://jratcliffscarab.blogspot.com.

John is a Freemason under the Grand Lodge of Missouri and brings to the conversation a strong sense of fraternity, fellowship, good ritual, and high principals, which are all traits of great interest and esteem to all Freemasons.

Some notable points in the interview we plan to cover include Esotericism vs. non Esotericism, the ideas of why people believe in the “fantastic”, and some of his Philosophy behind the fraternity in what it means for a man to be a “Good Mason”.

John even challenged me to define my ideas of the esoteric aspects of Freemasonry.

It promises to be an interesting show.

Look for us again at 12PM EST/ 9AM PST this Sunday June 22nd!
