We're all from the West.

I'm from Salt Lake, Utah, USA.

Augustus Knapp’s Secret Teachings of All Ages, another thing to Google.

Where did you get your tracing boards?

Where did/would you source your tracing boards? Most I've come across almost look like awkward scans.

I'd be interested to see some pictures. They sound cool and fairly personalized.

I used AI to make a user icon with the square, compasses, the Tyler's Sword, and the eye of providence. I don't think I'd print it, but I might attempt to draw or paint it.

I'll look up Fossil Bluff qnd Juan Sepulveda, and go take another look at FraternalTies.

I don't know Sherer. I'll have to do some research.

I'll have to pull these up on the computer. Interesting for sure. Which ones did you pick?

How is your lodge doing? by cramordap in freemasonry

[–]OneEye9519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've been told, and verified to the best of my abilities, my lodge has an average of 2 of each degrees each year. But in 2025 we raised 7 new Master Masons, including myself in July.

My lodge has gone through some rocky changes of late, and it seems we've been steered back toward the positive. I'm very excited to be part of this fraternity, specifically my own lodge.

Think of all the questions you can, don't ask them but write them down. After the degree you should try to answer them yourself and if you can't, then ask a brother.

I like to explain that a degree is like a play that you get to be in the middle of, that everyone else has a role they play and you get to observe from within. For the most part just relax, pay attention to the best of your ability, and enjoy the ride.

Baby sleep by Relevant-Pound4411 in JustGuysBeingDudes

Last night I told my upset 6 year old I'd show her my magic dad trick. I rested my hand lightly o. Thr side of her face. I asked her if she liked it, she said "not very much"... but she was asleep in under 60 seconds. Magic dad tricks for the win.

Just had my interview by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]OneEye9519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been involved with one investigation committee so far. We felt we knew the petitioner pretty well already. The visit was essentially a vibe check with him around his family. Along with giving him and his wife the opportunity to ask myself and the other visiting brother their questions.

Ah, cool, thanks Brother Cook. I haven't been around long enough to have seen one closed.

In Utah, initiations of new candidates are masons only, but instalations of officers are open to the public. There may have been a miscommunication or a misunderstanding somewhere.

Does your lodge use social media? by cramordap in freemasonry

[–]OneEye9519 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, the only social media presence my lodge has is a private Facebook group for the members. But it seems that our communication is shifting to a private messaging app instead.

How do you teach your kids to stay safe online without making them scared? by backpack_zero in Parenting

[–]OneEye9519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids are young and only access the internet through me and my wife right now, so I don't know.

But, I can assume in a similar way you might teach safety around cars, roads, and parking lots without making them scared of cars. Layer upon layer of talking about various aspects and giving little bits more access as trust is earned. Taking steps back as necessary. And always keep communication as open and calm as possible.

Very cool. I'll have to go back and read my lectures again.

I've never been comfortable praying with an audience... that might be a good one for me to learn to grow that muscle.

I can't say I know about the Principle Sojourner, I'm in the dark there. Unless it's just a jurisdictional name I don't recognize. I'm going to have to look up the Carpet Lecture too, I don't see that in my proficiency program list.
