  • Art in Freemasonry | The Pillar of Beauty Masonic Artist Ryan J Flynn joins us for an informative conversation about the importance of Art in Freemasonry. The Masonic Lodge is supported by three pillars, which are Wisdom, Strength and Beauty. Great importance should be given to each one of these, as they have a very important purpose in the instruction of the Mason. We have inherited a rich Artistic history in Freemasonry, but the Pillar of Beauty can often be neglected in the pursuit of strength and wisdom. How prominently does Art figure in your Lodge? On this episode of The Winding Stairs Freemasonry Podcast, we have the privilege of exploring the topic of Art in Freemasonry with our talented Brother Ryan J Flynn. Join us, as we discuss the answers to these questions: Is Art an effective teaching tool in Masonry? Are Masonic Artists violating their obligation while depicting lessons of The Craft? What is the historical significance of Art in Freemasonry? What is the current state of the Arts in our Fraternity? Are Masonic Artists using the symbols to get rich? What role does social media play in our Craft? From where do we derive inspiration when creating art? The answer to these and many more questions are contained in an exclusive video interview I had with Bro. Ryan J Flynn. Bro:. Flynn is the artist behind the Illuminated Patents and The Codex Series.

  • How does a Meaningful Lodge Experience look like? When you first set foot into a stated meeting as a Master Mason, was the experience everything you expected it to be? Do you think that your Lodge's meetings have room for improvement?

    On this episode of The Winding Stairs, I sit down with Bro. Manny Lozada of Orange Blossom Lodge No. 80 in Sunny Kissimmee, Florida. We had a conversation about how we can make our Lodge meetings more memorable and meaningful.

    Listen as we share some small and easy to implement improvements that can have a big impact long term.

    We hope you find this episode edifying.

  • Freemasonry Down Under | The Uniqueness of Australian Masonry

    Freemasonry down under may be slightly different than what you may think. The structure of the organization is very interesting in a way that allows for the ritual to be separate from the administrative side of Masonry. For example, Victoria Freemasons have a CEO who handles the business side of the organization. Interestingly enough, in 2016 this male-only organization was led by a woman.

    In this episode of The Winding Stairs, I share with you an interview that I had thought I had lost forever. After almost having to hire a cyber forensics team and after many hours of editing, I was able to restore this conversation about how Freemasonry is practiced in Australia. I hope you enjoy this insight.

  • Masonic Music for Lodges A few episodes ago we sat down for a conversation with Brother Joscar Poerschke, composer and pianist. This talented Brother has put together a collection of music designed to accompany our beautiful rituals. When played by an experienced musician or simply by playing it through a Bluetooth speaker, these songs have the potential of elevating the ritual experience to another level.

    We hope you enjoy the insights Brother Joscar shared about his creative process and how these pieces were inspired.
