“Exploring the social dynamics of Freemasonry”

I hope that it may serve to be a guidebook, answer questions that you did not know you had, and inspire you to be involved with Freemasonry alongside your Master Mason.”

The Tao of Masonry (by Taozen. Probably the oldest Masonic blog on the internet.)
“The world is vast; why do you don your apron and rise at the rap of a gavel?”
The author states: “I’m just one more person who has decided to take his shameless ego postings to a more public and accessible venue. My original intentions were to create a log of my thoughts and opinions while serving as the Master of my Masonic Lodge in 2006. That was then. Although my year in the East has ended, I’m exercising the ancient prerogatives of the Past Master to rant and complain and to offer up my opinions.”

(by the American Federation of Human Rights / Co-Masonry)
“Look for a new post here at least once a week on topics of interest to Freemasons in general, to Co-Freemasons in particular. This blog is hosted and sponsored by the Honorable Order of Universal Co-Masonry, the American Federation of Human Rights, so expect lots and lots of news from and about that Order.
It is the intent of this blog to share news, articles and other Masonic information that you won’t necessarily find on other U.S.-based Masonic blogs, websites and news outlets. That need has gone unfulfilled way too long. Rectifying that is the most important thing this blog can do, to broaden the amount of Masonic news and information available to rank-and-file Freemasons, regardless of jurisdiction.” (the source: Universal Freemasonry)
The Magpie Mason – This is a popular blog, often updated and cited, bearing many interesting links. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find any information about its authors.
Masonic Traveler – Observations on the esoteric from author Greg Stewart about the fraternity of Freemasonry, its impact on civil society and contributions to the material culture.
“Traveling east in search of that which is lost…beyond the word.”
“Greg is a 3rd degree Master Mason, a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason and a York Rite R :. A :. M :. and the author of the book Masonic Traveler and the ebook What is Freemasonry?.
A student of the Western Mystery tradition, Gregory B. Stewart, writing under the name Masonic Traveler, has explored the rites of initiation through a variety of initiatory systems with the expressed goal of understanding their deeper meaning. In that process, his exploration has converged with mainstream and esoteric religious traditions, the rituals of church practice and their impact on spiritual development. Now, on the other side of that journey, the focus of his attention is on how those practices relate to the Great Work and where they intersect with the Hermetic tradition.” (the source: Masonic Traveler)
– “A group of Master Masons talk about topics of Masonic interest–each from their own unique perspective.
You’ll find a wide range of subjects including history, trivia, travel, book reviews, great quotes, and hopefully a little humor as well on topics of interest for Freemasons and those interested in the subject of Freemasonry.” (the source: The Midnight Freemasons)
The contributors: RWB Robert Johnson, Todd E. Creason, 33° , WB Gregory J. Knott, Bro. Steve Harrison, 33°, WB Bill Hosler , WB Adam Thayer, WB Darin A. Lahners, Brother Travis Simpkins.
