Episode 49 is live. What happens when the symbolic language of Freemasonry is taken off the tracing board and placed directly into your hands? Troy sits down with Jonti Marks and Bridie Blaze, creators of the Masonic Wisdom Cards, a 78-card illustrated deck built for daily contemplation rather than divination. They talk through Bridie's hand-chiselled illustration style, the deck's real relationship to tarot, and how a set of cards can become a genuine tool for Masonic study and memory work.
Also in this issue: tickets are still available for the Esotericism in Freemasonry Conference.
New Episode
Episode 49: Masonic Wisdom Cards
w/ Jonti Marks & Bridie Blaze
The Masonic Wisdom Cards explore Masonic symbols, working tools, virtues, and sacred geometry as prompts for reflection, not fortune telling. Jonti and Bridie walk through how the deck came together, from the linocut-style illustration technique to the honest comparisons and real differences between this deck and tarot, and where it can fit into your own study or lodge education.
In Case You Missed It
Last time out, Troy sat down with WB Dago Rodriguez, creative director of Fraternal Review, for a first conversation covering the magazine's origin story and the surprising overlap between Fight Club and the Masonic path.
