Whence Came You?

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.
