Meeting May 10, 2025 at 12 P.M. Patmos-Solomon Lodge #70 9140 Washington St. Savage, MD
A Lost Chapter in American Freemasonry
Presented by Brother Thomas Worrel, M.B.A.
His presentation will be based on his published paper A Lost Chapter in American Freemasonry. Tom will describe his discovery of a Masonic Rite of 34 degrees beyond the craft degrees. The degrees are written in American English, but they appear to have been brought to the country from France in the late 1800’s and translated. The rituals in this system have a strong esoteric inclination. One encounters technical Hermetica such as astrology and alchemy as well as exhortations on Kabbalah, the symbolism of numbers, Gothic architecture, geometry, and even heraldry.
