Whence Came You? - Freemasonry discussed and Masonic research for today's Freemason

Does Freemasonry have a mascot? If it had a mascot, What would it look like? What would it represent? What does it send as a message to the outside community? Then, we’ll talk about the origin of the human species. What traits does the Homo sapien have, and how did they lead to our current state of modern survival and comfort? And likewise, what are the virtues that have been collected over time to form the civil societies that we live in? Does Freemasonry have something to do with it? Did it collect them all and put them under her own banner? All this and more on this episode of the Whence Came You? Podcast. Thanks for listening! Links:

The Holiday of July 4th, Independence Day, is upon us. A holiday that has its roots and foundations in the ideas of freedom, liberty, and more. We’ll explore what writer and philosopher Thomas Payne had to say about American independence. We’ll then explore what Freemasonry has to do during its ritual work with the idea of freedom. We'll talk about the reason for the War of Independence—and what we get wrong about the American Revolution. Was it about taxes or representation? You'll need to listen to find out; perhaps, it's even more profound. We will then go into a short review of a text by Rudolf Steiner on the Philosophy of Freedom before wrapping it up with a few rousing quotes from Thomas Paine. All this and more--stay tuned Links: Essential Writings of Thomas Paine https://amzn.to/3IbPT5S Paine Calls for American Independence https://www.americanyawp.com/reader/the-american-revolution/thomas-paine-calls-for-american-independence-1776/
