The 1798 Irish Rebellion was a watershed moment of bloody conflict, inspired by the revolutions in America and France. But behind the scenes, its organizational DNA came from a surprising source: a Masonic Lodge. Worshipful Brother David de Hosson, a first-generation Irish-American, joins us to uncover the hidden history of how the United Irish Society—the engine of the rebellion—was founded almost entirely by Freemasons. Learn how they used the fraternity's structure, secrecy, and networks to spread radical ideas of liberty and equality across Ireland. Show notes and links: Join us on Patreon.

Have you ever visited a Lodge in another state and noticed small, yet distinct, differences in the ritual? Or wondered why, despite these differences, the core ceremony feels so familiar from coast to coast? The answer to both questions can largely be traced back to a pivotal, yet often overlooked, event: the Baltimore Convention of 1843. In this episode, we journey back in time with Masonic author, WB Nathan St. Pierre ("Harmony in the Hive"), to understand this crucial turning point in American Freemasonry. This national convention was an ambitious attempt to unify and standardize Masonic ritual across a rapidly expanding United States. Show notes and links: Join us on Patreon.

This is the first “murder mystery” episode on our podcast and there is no bigger story in Freemasonry than “the Morgan Affair.” This year marks the 200th anniversary of the 1826 disappearance of William Morgan, an event that ignited a firestorm of anti-Masonic sentiment and nearly destroyed the fraternity in America. To separate fact from fiction, we are honored to host Dr. Ann Bunch, author of the definitive work, "The William Morgan Affair: Masonic Mystery in Upstate New York." She’ll lead us through her investigation, sorting the historical truth of the event, its devastating aftermath, and how Modern Freemasonrs can acknowledge this pivotal moment in the history of our Ancient and Gentle Craft.

Hot takes alert! Does the study of Kabbalah, Tarot, and other esoteric traditions have a place in modern Freemasonry, or is it, as our guest argues, a "big stupid distraction from one's actual Masonic work"? We sit down with WB Bull Garlington, author of the provocative white paper "Messoterica." Listen as Bro. Bull makes the brutal case that the modern obsession with esoterica is nothing more than “a waste of time.” Show notes and links:  Join us on Patreon.
