The Morgan Affair

The Morgan affair Reprinted from The Short Talk Bulletin - Vol. XI, March, 1933 No. 3. Perhaps the most romantic story of Freemasonry, the fuel which the alleged abduction and murder of William Morgan supplied to the anti-masonic hysteria of a hundred years ago, and the gradual emergence of th...

Observing the Craft

Observing the Craft; The Pursuit of Excellence In Masonic Labour and Observance, by WB Andrew Hammer is a manifesto of sorts for the observant Mason, who seeks quality over quantity in every aspect of Masonry. It is a stringent argument for the Symbolic (Blue) Lodge as the ne plus ultra of ...

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.

We welcome your inquiries concerning Masonry.  To learn more, please feel free to contact us or visit Esoterika on Facebook.

Message from the Worshipful Master

Greetings Brethren,

I hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas holiday, and I wish you all health and happiness in the New Year. As you are aware, this year Esoterika will focus on returning more to its roots while at the same time establishing our next five year plan. To this effort, we had our first ever All Hands Meeting on December 2nd at the Seattle Valley Scottish Rite. The meeting was a rousing success which will be followed-up by our First Annual Esoterika Retreat on Saturday, January 21st beginning at 2:00 PM sharp (check your email for details!).

The Retreat is open to all Brothers of the Lodge. For those that were unable to attend the All Hands Meeting, this is great opportunity to come and discuss decisions made at the All Hands Meeting as well as provide input for the future direction of the Lodge.

As a reminder, your 2012 dues must be paid by the end of the year! Please pay them by either contacting WB Jeff Lane or via PayPal.

There are many great things to come my Brothers and I look forward to next year.  I thank you all for your continued support and by working together, the best years of Esoterika are to come.

Be well Brothers and see you at the Reterat.

Sincerely & Fraternally,

WB Nicholas J. Mitchell

Aestimatio Sibi Honosque Fraternitati
