Tricolour Masonic Lodge is a brand new lodge in Ireland. It would appear that they are the founding lodge of the new Grand Orient of Ireland. This is a major victory for the Moderns as the Emerald Isle has always been, up until this point as conservative and Antient in flavor as a country can get in a Masonic sense. In fact the single LDH lodge is found in the Union, Northern Ireland.
While I personally have no use for the secular humanism "Atheists with Aprons" version of Freemasonry that the Moderns are so firmly attached to, it is nice to see alternatives to the
knife and fork appear.
Now, the 1613 has no warm and fuzzy feelings as far as the current Grand Orient of France establishment is concerned. In no way am I endorsing yet another bloated and self serving bureaucratic hierarchy. I am simply wishing (on a personal level) best fraternal wishes to the Brethren of this new lodge. According to their website they are open to both men and woman (as they should be) regardless of belief (ditto.)
So congrats Brethren, may your work be able to hold of the special interests that seem to follow GOdF relationships.

Ain't no way
Sometimes, what you need to say has already been said. It is obvious that the hater's need a reason to live and that I'm that reason. It's all good, gonna do what I do regardless.

No Need for Confusion
Dear June Lennon,
You took an obligation you no longer felt obliged to uphold. That's fine. You're an adult and you can do what you want. No one in the 1613 would ever say otherwise.
If to break away is best for you and your sister (s) you have my blessing. I will really wish you all of the best.
The issues I have is when you state things that just aren't true as justifications for your actions. You state that I made up Loge Liberte Cherie. Well, as anyone can see from what I have posted here that allegation has no basis.
You state that our lodges have no property. We never stated property to be of any importance nor a part of our platform. In fact our our manifesto (which you proclaimed to believe in an uphold) refutes this. We are a grass roots movement. We state that a lodge can meet anywhere they can. From a living room, to a basement, to a backyard or even a parking lot. Accommodations are not what we really care about.
As to members you have seen pictures of many our lodges. I personally sent you pictures of Loggia Jose de San Martin, Liberte Cherie and Ojo de Horus and you exclaimed "huzzah" to all of them. So when you state that Circumspect was the only lodge with membership you know, with no one needing to tell you otherwise that is a lie.
At the end of the day I really hope you are happy June. I thought of you as a member of my family, you rejected this as you deemed that you don't need me as a Brother or friend. OK. Fine, you are an adult and you can make your own judgement. That does not mean we need to carry personal animosity. You are dead to me and that is that.
Doesn't mean I hate you or wish you ill will. I have had the memorial for a fallen brother and that is is as far as I need to go.
may the GOATU shine upon what you choose to do from here on out. I will have nothing to do with it.
I will refute any lies that are thrown against the wall in regards to the 1613 Nation, the MEAPRMM or myself. As is my right to do.

Summer Roundup
What a busy time it has been. With the new baby on the way and things picking up at work it seems that I have been going a million miles per hour with barely a second to catch up. All in all it has been a really productive time for myself on a professional, spiritual and yes Masonic level.
I have been spending what little free time I have these days digging deeper and deeper into the Qabalah. I am finding great satisfaction and peace in this discipline. The "yoga" of the West is a huge key I am finding to connecting the magical dots. Just has been a real eye opener for me, in many ways.
The 1613 is doing fine. Growing and reaching new heights. We had some "pano" otherwise known as growing pains but like any new venture we have ran into some people who either didn't understand what they where getting into or have found that being in a radical form of the Craft just didn't suit them. Either or we wish them all well. They are free to do as they want as we embrace free will.
To anyone interested in the 1613 do us all a favor. Read the manifesto. Understand it. If it does not jive with what you want go somewhere else. The great thing about this age that we are living in, there are plenty of Masonic outlets. No need to fit a square peg in a round whole.
With that being out of the way we have some new lodges to announce.
Lodge of the Standing Skull- Santa Cruz, Boliva
Lodge Even Hahamim= Jerusalem, Israel
Lodge Proletarius- Chicago, IL USA
Lodge Lux et Veritas- Phoenix , AZ USA
Lodge Romanov- Moscow, Russia
there are also some exciting things in the work for the MEAPRMM. WGH Ripel will be attending an event in his honor in Israel in October. When I have the details I will of course post them.
All in all the summer of 2010 will be one I will always have fond memories of. Challenges where met with enthusiasm, the current continues to grow and spread. More light has been brought into the world. Men and women free to grow and change. All beautiful developments.
