Inside

Password Strength

Two Masons encounter an unexpected challenge at a freemasonry Lodge room door, where a new password requirement catches them off guard. Illustrated by Adam Bayer and featured in Masonic Mirth by WB Greg O’Neal, the scene captures the modernization of traditional practices within the Masonic community.

To Win Big, Think Small

The article “To Win Big, Think Small” by WB Christopher Hathaway emphasizes the value of setting achievable goals and focusing on small wins to achieve success. Whether in Freemasonry, financial management, or personal growth, the author advocates for breaking down big objectives into manageable tasks and paying attention to details.

I See You’ve Traveled Some

The poem celebrates the camaraderie and empathy shared among travelers. It highlights the joy of receiving warm greetings and the sense of connection it brings. Whether in foreign lands or at home, the acknowledgment of one’s journey evokes a deep bond of brotherhood. It concludes with a reference to the Masonic tradition of welcoming travelers.

Mason?

The images depict various interpretations of the term “Mason.” The first image shows an Egyptian using tools by a pyramid, while the second depicts a man in Masonic attire with numerous awards. The final image shows two men, one consoling the other, with the caption “Mason.” Each image offers a different perspective of a mason.
