The wait has been long, but we are back with our 12th installment of the Dover Masonic Podcast! In this episode we delve into the fourth great hermetic principle, Polarity. In this 10th chapter of The Kybalion, we learn that opposites are not different, but rather the same and only vary in degree along a scale. This chapter serves as the basis for the remainder of this great esoteric work. Enjoy!
Please note: we hope you will forgive the audio quality of the vocal portion of the recording. This episode was recorded in a different space, and therefore differs from prior episodes. We hope however that this will not distract the listener from the mood and content!

Brother Manly Palmer Hall is one of the most celebrated Masonic scholars in history. His monumental tome “The Secret Teachings Of All Ages” was published when he was just 27 years old in 1928. What follows is a history of this amazing Masonic scholar, with actual footage of Brother Hall delivering lectures to captivated audiences. This video was created by The Philosophical Research Society, a philosophical organization not connected with Freemasonry but founded by Brother Hall.
Note: This version was modified from the original version on a shared internet video site. We have resynced the sound so that it matches with the video throughout the feature. The occasional visual and audible artifacts are from the original video.
Brethren, another man is prepared to enter into the Mysteries of Freemasonry. Please join us on Tuesday November 17th at 7:30pm as we welcome this newest candidate into our gentle Craft. Please note – this is a Tuesday, not our usual Thursday which will be our installation of officers two days later.
Please make sure to come join us as we welcome this worthy man to a new and momentous beginning in his life!
Brethren, Dover Lodge will be holding a practice session for all those preparing for their Entered Apprentice examination. Several Master Masons will be on-hand at Dover Lodge on Thursday October 8th at 7:30pm to assist our Entered Apprentices with the exam work. All Brethren from all regular Ohio lodges are welcome to attend! Attendees are asked to bring an item to share for “munchies”, whether finger-food, snacks or dessert. Exam practice will take place in the Lodge Room, walking through the entire ritual as many times as the Brethren request.
Dover Lodge cares greatly that the work of the exam be learned thoroughly by every Mason of every degree. This session will focus solely on the Entered Apprentice exam, but all Fellow Crafts and Master Masons are encouraged to attend and assist these worthy Entered Apprentices in their work. Dress is casual.
We believe that the memorization of the exam work is merely the “muscle memory” on the Masonic Path, and that the deeper meanings become clearer and more impactful after the memorization has taken place. Practice will be carried out behind closed doors and by mouth to ear, as it has been for hundreds of years (although EAs are certainly encouraged to bring their exam booklets for reference). Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts from sister lodges must be accompanied by a Brother Master Mason, or know a Dover Master Mason who can vouch for them. No Entered Apprentice or Fellow Craft will be admitted unless they are a member of Dover Lodge, or are vouched for by another Master Mason.
Brethren, please join us for a time of learning and fun in an environment of support!
Brethren, the Worshipful Master has called a special meeting for the purpose of conferring the second degree on a very-deserving Brother. Please join us on Thursday October 22nd 2009 at 7:30pm as we bring this Brother to the next level in his Masonic journey. Officers are required to dress in tuxedos, and all Brethren in suits or coats with ties please. Come be a part of our noble work!
Brethren of Dover Lodge, please join us on October 15, 2009 for FellowCraft degree practice. We have several Brethren who are ready for their second degree, and we need to be ready! Come dressed casually, and be ready for the work. No question is too simple – come ready to ask anything about which you’re unsure!
Brethren, the third Thursday of each month has been declared a ritual meeting by our Worshipful Master. Please be here for ritual practice and learning. Dress is casual, and the meeting starts at 7:30p sharp. We look forward to seeing you there!
Brethren, the first Thursday of each month is our Stated Business Meeting at Dover Lodge. The Lodge opens at 7:30pm sharp, and all officers are expected to wear tuxedos. The Brethren are asked to be attired in suit and tie.
Our format is to devote the first Thursday to business only, making for a much shorter meeting and allowing the Brethren more chance for fellowship without going into the “wee hours”. Come out and see what’s new with Dover Lodge – we look forward to seeing you there!
