In 1963, Past Grand Master of Indiana, Dwight L. Smith, wrote a series of articles that eventually became what we know today as "Whither Are We Traveling."

Some of what he had to say, his observations, and insights, have stood the test of time and continue to hold about the state of Freemasonry to this day.

Why does this keep happening over and over again?

This is part 1 of three of this series.

What areas does he cover?

Does he propose any remedies?

Will he tell it like it is?

We are about to find out.

The Curmudgeon Supreme and I read part 2 of the 1390 Regius Poem.

Why did anyone want to write a document like this?

Who wrote it?

If this document is a copy of an older version, then where did it come from, and again, why did a bunch of illiterate masons, architects, carpenters, and engineers.

If you have a short talk, research paper, book, or research paper in PDF form having to do with the origins of Freemasonry, send it to me, and let's read it together and investigate the mysterious origins of Freemasonry.

Why are we reading the Regius Manuscript now, if it is the oldest known Masonic manuscript?

Why didn't we read it first and then move on from there?

What does it say?

Where did it come from?

Who wrote it?

How do we know that it pertains to Freemasonry?

Have you ever read this manuscript, let alone known that it existed?

Let us read what it says and then have a discussion about it.

The Ars Quatour Coronati has a page dedicated to the Constitutions of the Freemasons @https://www.1723constitutions.com

It covers many areas of this important document and even goes in depth with some of the important masons who helped create Anderson's Constitutions.

It's not a long article, and after reading it, one gets the impression that there isn't much of importance for us here.

What does the Curmudgeon have to say about this?

In part two of the Catholic Encyclopedia article of 1910 on (Masonry)Freemasonry, the Curmudgeon Supreme and I will finish up what we wanted to read.

The article is 32 pages long and is well written, and cites its source documentation from the time.

They made it very clear from the beginning that they would only cite the best and most respected Masonic Scholars and authors.

Will it shine any more light on its origins, secrets, and symbols?

Let's find out.

What does an article published in 1910 in the Catholic Encyclopedia about (Masonry)Freemasonry have to say about the mysterious origins of Freemasonry?

The Curmudgeon Supreme read this article and was surprised as to the amount of information it contained and the other secret societies it mentions.

In 171 7 four or more older lodges got together and decided to form a Grand Lodge of England. 21 years later, the Catholic church issued a Papal Bull prohibiting any catholic from ever becoming a Mason due to irreconcilable differences.

What did those Catholic Brothers discover in the 21 years of research that was done before the Pope issued his Bull?

What does this article say about the mysterious origins of Freemasonry?

Why did the church react so negatively towards this society?

I've been contemplating some questions that have been bouncing around in my head lately.

MasonicCon is back at South Pasadena Lodge No.290

How many of you have read the ancient Masonic documents/

What impressions did they make?

Has it made you wonder what Freemasonry truly is?

What is Freemasonry?

The numbers don't lie!

Is the Curmudgeon correct with his numbers?

In this episode, I go over a list of 12 Origin Theories of Freemasonry and ask the Curmudgeon Supreme how much he knows about any of these theories. This list was found in a book called the Royal Masonic Cyclopedia.

Has he ever heard of any of these?

Does he have a favorite?

Will any of these pique his curiosity?

Will his giant head blow up from too many theories?

What are these twelve theories, and do any of these have any merit?
