[originally published on Patreon Jun 25, 2023] Today I'm rejoined by Monty (@MontyBaby7) to discuss one of the great topics of conspiracy theory lore: Freemasonry. Monty walks us through the development of Freemasonry several hundreds years ago from a guild system. We talk about how some of the more esoteric Freemasonry can enter British Hotep LARPing and white boy magick.  We also begin to break out all the related rites, Scottish, Memphis, Royal Arch, and so forth. Monty breaks out various Masonic concepts such as the Great Architect of the Universe and examines some of the cross-pollination of gnostic and Rosicrucian concepts. Then Monty gets weird with it, discussing the square within the circle.  episode art by Robert Voyvodich @r.voy__ Songs: Stonehenge by Spinal Tap Training from Bloodsport soundtrack It’s Hip to be Square
