Anderson's Constitutions

Masonic Apron

Masonic Apron

  In Masonic symbolism the Lambskin Apron holds precedence. It is the initial gift of Freemasonry to a candidate, and at the end of life's pilgrimage it is reverently placed on his mortal remains and buried with his body in the grave. Above all other symbols, the Lambskin Apron is the disting...

Welcome to Esoterika Lodge No. 316

Seattle’s premier esoteric Masonic Lodge.

The Masonic Fraternity is the oldest Fraternity in the world.  Freemasonry is a society of men whose goal is to improve themselves and the world around them by engaging in the practice and application of a system of moral and philosophical lessons that we call Speculative Freemasonry. 

The history, origins, and practice of Freemasonry is very ancient, and the lessons that we learn as Masons are known as the Degrees of Masonry.

Esoterika Lodge is an esoteric lodge, or a lodge focusing on the examination and contemplation of the deeper philosophies, traditions, practices, and ritual, that have become the Degrees of Freemasonry today.

Message from the Master - WBro Joseph W. MacIntyre

Hello Brothers,

Past Grand Master D. Barry McLaggan of New Zealand summarized a talk he presented to the Waikato Lodge of Research with some common sense advice:

          May ignorance be enlightened by education

          May prejudices be tolerated by understanding

          May ambition be encouraged

          May opinions be respected

          May our philosophy be the light of tomorrow

 

Esoterika, “that which is known to but a few,” is the vein of knowledge for which we prospect.  We are the “Marines of the brotherhood,” “the proud, the few, the brothers of Esoterika.”

 

          Aribest,

WM Joseph W. MacIntyre
