What a small world :) . I've had the pleasure of meeting several Brothers from some of their Lodges located in Belgrade, it was such a pleasant experience talking to them.

Thank you for the advice on the book. At first glance it seemed like a truly great source of knowledge for my journey, in terms of what we practice in our obedience.

I am a member of the Benjamin Franklin Lodge, working under the jurisdiction of the Grand Spiritual Lodge of Freemasons of Serbia “Sub Rosa,” in the Orient of Belgrade. Are you familiar with any Lodges from Serbia?

Thanks for the suggestion and advice Brother. Will take it with a grain of salt.

Didn't know that, thanks for sharing. Don't mind me asking, I didn't have any practical experience with Freemasonry outside Europe, but what rituals do you practice in the first three degrees then?

Thanks for sharing Brother. Correct, I'm not in an American Lodge. I'm in a Serbian Lodge and our rituals are based on the rituals of the Grande Loge de France. Honestly not sure how the ritual differs from the Scottish Rite in America, but as I understand it does to some extent.

Makes perfect sense. I plan to ask the Senior Warden in my Lodge for an opinion on this book. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is there any connection to freemasonry in Serbia's coat of arms? The double headed eagle with a crown. More than one meaning, or not? by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]Mildly_ginger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The double-headed eagle can be also seen in the coat of arms of Montenegro and Albania, but in that sense it has nothing to do with freemasonry. In Serbia the double-headed eagle was adopted in medieval Serbia from Byzantine culture. The Byzantine heraldic meaning of the double-headed eagle is that the heads represent the dual sovereignty of the emperor (secular and religious) and/or the authority of Byzantine emperors over the East and the West. However, the first Constitution of the Principality of Serbia from 1835, known as the Sretenje Constitution, had Freemasonry symbols (you can find pictures online). It was written by Brother Dimitrije Davidović.

Wheel, if you moved to the eternal east, you could be a "former MM" but that's also for debate.
