Whence Came You? - 0716 - The Alchemist's Mirror and The Tree of Life
This week on Whence Came You?, we crack open a rare 1936 Masonic journal to uncover the tragic tale of a 13th-century alchemist who sacrificed everything to brew the elixir of physical immortality , only to discover the terrifying truth hidden inside his mirror. Then, we decipher the hidden codes of the Kabbalah to reveal how your local Masonic lodge is secretly laid out like the divine Tree of Life.

Whence Came You? - 0715 - Building the Mason, Subduing the Beast
This week, we are unlocking the archives of the nineteen thirties to expose a thin line between self-mastery and absolute tyranny. First, we dive into a striking 1938 piece titled Superman, written right as the shadow of totalitarianism was taking over Europe. We're looking at how a misunderstood philosophy was weaponized by dictators, and why true Freemasonry serves as the ultimate shield against the tyrant. Then we look at the purpose of Freemasonry, tracing how man, born completely helpless, utilizes the blueprint of the craft to step into his highest potential. It's an episode about breaking free from mundane conformity, mastering your passions, and mapping the future of human progress.

Whence Came You? - 0714 - The Cooperative Craft: From Apathy to Enlightenment
This week on the show, we are traveling back to the late 1930s to unlock the archives. First, we're tackling a blunt operational reality from August of 1937 that hits just as close to home today: a Master speaking plainly about lodge apathy, and why the membership is just as much to blame as the leadership when a lodge loses its spark. Then, we're shifting gears to look at a massive historical transformation from March 1938. We'll trace the rapid progress of education in England, the impact of the printing press, and how a loosely organized group of illiterate operative stone-carvers evolved into a Speculative system designed to build the inner temples of our minds. It's a journey from practical stone-quarrying to moral philosophy—all about money, myth, and the power of discernment. Stay tuned!

Whence Came You? - 0713 - Fortresses of the Mind: 1930s Blueprints for Peace and Grit
This week, we are unlocking the late 1930s archives of the Square and Compass journal. First, we dive into a May 1938 piece titled Freemasonry and Peace , which pulls in a famous debate between Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud to ask if humanity is hardwired for destruction, or if the Craft can train us for peace. Then, we look at an August 1937 article titled Helpful Suggestions for Every Day —a masterclass in daily resilience, written during a brutal economic recession . Stay tuned!

Whence Came You? - 0712 - Pythagoras: Fact, Fiction, and the Fraternity
This week, we're opening with a look at delinquent dues payers in the nineteen thirties, a topic that may sound dry at first, but really tells us a lot about hardship, brotherhood, and how lodges tried to survive through economic times. Then we'll shift from practical concerns to ancient philosophy with Pythagoras and his disciples, where we have to sort through what's historically solid, what's probably embellished, and what survives because it still speaks to us symbolically. It's all about discernment, fact, fiction, and the deeper truth that sometimes lives somewhere in between all this and more. Stay tuned.

Whence Came You? - 0711 - Ritual, Revision, and Renewal
This week, we're looking at two really interesting articles from Square and Compass Magazine. First up, we'll be reading Anachronisms and Inconsistencies in Masonic Ritual. Have you ever thought in ritual, "Hey, that doesn't make sense?" Well, many have, and we'll explore a few of them. Then, we'll turn to A New Hope for Masonic Education. If Grand Lodges can't provide education in 1937, what can be done to fix this? One answer - Nationalize it! All this and more, stay tuned.
