The Freemasonry Universal website has gone through a quick re-design, and moved on from it's slightly stale state as I got home ready for the wife and I's new arrival due any day. One of the main add-ons to the site is the creation of country pages. If you visit the main Freemasonry page and look down the right ha… Continue

Freemasonry Universal from it's creation has always been about honest information. With this being the main aim it was deemed prudent to priotise getting some of the interpretations of Freemasons on the varying aspects and areas of this site. Therefore today we launched our first project since the sites re-launch and subsequent re-design, so if you are a Freemason and have an opinion please check out the… Continue

Few modern Masonic authors can generate the kind interest that follows Dr. Robert Lomas. Beginning with "The Hiram Key" and followed up by another half dozen books on the history and symbolism of the Craft, Dr. Lomas has offered up some interesting - and controversial - theories and ideas about the evolution of symbology and the meaning of the symbolic language underlying Masonic rituals and ceremonies. On Sunday, March 9th, he called us from his home in England and joined Bro. Heath Armbruster… Continue
