    2011 Commission Report

    2011 Commission Report BAJA CALIFORNIA The two groups representing the Grand Lodge of Baja California have now worked out an agreement that has unified them again into one regular Grand Lodge. The leaders of the two groups have signed the agreement, and have assured it will be ratified by both groups. The Grand Lodge of Baja California has now satisfied the standards for recognition. BULGARIA There continues to be no progress in the unification of Freemasonry in Bulgaria. Since they have previously been determined to meet the standards for recognition, there is no interest on the part of the United Grand Lodge of Bulgaria in entering discussions with the Grand Lodge AF&AM of Bulgaria, either for unification or for establishing a treaty to share the jurisdiction. Both of these Grand Lodges appear to practice regular Masonry, and both were of the same origin until they split in 2001. This Commission has urged the two Grand Lodges to resolve their differences for the past seven years to no avail; therefore this issue will not be addressed again until the brethren in Bulgaria reach some type of agreement. CYPRUS The United Grand Lodge of England and the Grand Lodge of Cyprus have reached an accord whereby they will both share the jurisdiction of Cyprus, and have established fraternal relations among themselves. The Grand Lodge of Cyprus therefore now meets all the standards for recognition. CZECH REPUBLIC The Grand Lodge of the Czech Republic informed us that an irregular body calling itself the Czech National Grand Lodge was recently created by a group of dissident members who defected and formed this new organization.

    Constructing the Witch in Contemporary American Popular Culture

    "SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES": CONSTRUCTING THE WITCH IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Catherine Armetta Shufelt A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2007 Committee: Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor Dr. Andrew M. Schocket Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Donald McQuarie Dr. Esther Clinton © 2007 Catherine A. Shufelt All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor What is a Witch? Traditional mainstream media images of Witches tell us they are evil “devil worshipping baby killers,” green-skinned hags who fly on brooms, or flaky tree huggers who dance naked in the woods. A variety of mainstream media has worked to support these notions as well as develop new ones. Contemporary American popular culture shows us images of Witches on television shows and in films vanquishing demons, traveling back and forth in time and from one reality to another, speaking with dead relatives, and attending private schools, among other things. None of these mainstream images acknowledge the very real beliefs and traditions of modern Witches and Pagans, or speak to the depth and variety of social, cultural, political, and environmental work being undertaken by Pagan and Wiccan groups and individuals around the world. Utilizing social construction theory, this study examines the “historical process” of the construction of stereotypes surrounding Witches in mainstream American society as well as how groups and individuals who call themselves Pagan and/or Wiccan have utilized the only media technology available to them, the internet, to resist and re- construct these images in order to present more positive images of themselves as well as build community between and among Pagans and nonPagans.

    Kansas Lodge of Research, Annual Meeting, March 17, 2016 2 Presentation of His Material at One of Our Membership Meetings

    1 KANSAS GRAND LODGE OF RESEARCH Capitol Plaza Hotel, Topeka, Kansas Annual Meeting Minutes 3/17/2016 DRAFT At 3:00 p.m. the meeting was called to order by Worshipful Master Frederick Reichert in the Pioneer Room of the Capitol Plaza Hotel. In Attendance: Other officers in attendance were Michael Snively, Senior Warden, John Crary, Junior Warden, Wayne Rollf, Treasurer, and Jon Woodward, Secretary. By the Secretary’s register, 68 other members were in attendance. Worshipful Reichert welcomed the members and introduced the officers and chairs of the standing committees. Consent Agenda: After assuring that the members present had the opportunity to review the Secretary’s financial and membership statement, as well as the Treasurer’s Report, the Master called for a motion to approve the consent agenda. The motion was properly made, seconded and approved without objection. The Secretary noted that there were several in attendance who had not previously attended a meeting of the lodge of research and asked for a show of hands of new members since the previous meeting. There were approximately thirty new members in attendance. Owing to the support of the Kansas Masonic Foundation and the generosity of Brother Bob Shively in particular, 21 new members had signed up immediately prior to the meeting. Committee Reports: Worshipful Reichert called upon committee chairs to report on the actions taken by their committees since the last meeting. John Crary reported that the research committee was assisting the Grand Lodge Masonic Education Committee with its preparation of the Masonry-in-a-box initiative, but was supportive of individual research efforts as may be taken by members.

    Originalveröffentlichung in: G. Leick (Hrsg), The Babylonian World, New York/London, 2007, S. 361-372 CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE DIVINATION CULTURE AND THE HANDLING OF THE FUTURE Stefan M. Maul n omen is a clearly defined perception understood as a sign pointing to future A events whenever it manifests itself under identical circumstances. The classification of a perception as ominous is based on an epistemological development which establishes a normative relationship between the perceived and the future. This classification process is preceded by a period of detailed examination and is thus initially built on empirical knowledge. Omina only cease to be detected empirically when a firm conceptual link has been established between the observed and the future which then allows omina to be construed by the application of regularities. In the Mesopotamian written sources from the first and second millennia BC, omina based on regularities far exceed those based on empirical data. Mesopotamian scholars generally collected data without formally expressing the fundamental principles behind their method. It was the composition of non-empirical omina as such which allowed students to detect the regularities on which they were based without this formulated orally or in writing. Modern attempts at a systematic investigation of such principles however, are still outstanding. It is interesting that there is no Sumerian or Akkadian equivalent for the terms 'oracle' or 'omen'. Assyriologists use the term omen for the sentence construction 'if x then y' which consists of a main clause beginning with summa ('if') describing the ominous occurence, and a second clause which spells out the predicted outcome.

    Oregon Pythian News

    Volume 24, Issue 2 December 2014 News for and About Oregon Pythians Oregon Pythian News Pythian Floats a Success Thanks to GC Randy & Gaston Lodge GASTON / HILLSBORO—Brother Knights of Gaston Lodge brought life to Grand Chancellor Randy Tipton’s idea that Oregon Pythians should promote our Order by having Pythian Floats in community parades around the state this year. The Knights built a great float which they took to Hillsboro for their 4th of July Parade. Members of both Gaston and Hillsboro Pythians and their families rode on the float and tossed candy to children along the way. Response from the crowd was very positive. The photo to the left depicts the float and Pythians from Hillsboro and Gaston at the Hillsboro 4th of July parade. PENDLETON—Damon Lodge planned and organized a float for the dress up parade to highlight the many activities we do to support the youth of our community. Grand Chancellor Randy Tipton came to Pendleton to be on our float and was joined by the following members: Jim Aldrich, Dale Freeman, Kone Hancock, Bill Peal, Ray Cable, Rob Inscore, Ben Anderson, Brian Bradley and Roman Olivera. We invited organizations who we have helped with steak feeds and donations to join with us on the float with signs thanking the lodge for the support. Represented were Pioneer Relief Nursery, the Softball State Champion and Youth Wrestling Team. Bill Peal provided the truck and Ray Cable gave us the use of his 30-foot trailer to make a great float. We were honored to have a 6-foot Knight in full combat armor, standing on the top of Bill’s truck—to command the attention of the crowd.

    2 Grand rank is an honor bestowed on Masons who have distinguished themselves by faithfully serving the Craft. However, appointment as a Grand Lodge officer is not merely a reward for past service – rather it carries with it increased duties to continue service to the Craft as an officer of the Grand Lodge of Kansas. The Grand Lodge of Kansas recognizes two types of Grand Lodge officers; elected and appointed. Elected Grand Lodge officers are the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Wardens, Grand Treasurer, and the Grand Secretary. All other Grand Lodge officers are appointed. This manual provides an overview of the responsibilities of appointed Grand Lodge officers. Kansas Masonic law does not list the qualifications of appointed Grand Lodge officers, although in most cases, an appointed grand officer is a past master who is well regarded in his lodge, district, and area. However, Grand Masters may ask any Master Mason who has not yet attained the rank of past master to serve as an appointed officer of the Grand Lodge. All appointed Grand Lodge officers serve at the pleasure of the Grand Master, just as appointed officers in a regular lodge serve at the pleasure of the Worshipful Master. Appointments to grand rank occur during the Grand Master’s term of office and terminate when his successor is installed. In Kansas, elected Grand Lodge officers, as well as Grand Lecturers, and Grand Representatives, are entitled to be addressed thereafter as “Right Worshipful.” Upon his installation, and for life thereafter, the Grand Master is entitled to be addressed as “Most Worshipful.” Appointment to grand rank automatically confers the title of “Worshipful.” But remember, brethren who serve as an appointed Grand Lodge officer may have already earned the title of “Right Worshipful,” (i.e.

    Mike Connell: 'Hard Work and Ever at It'

    Page 1 of 3 October 5, 2013 Mike Connell: 'Hard work and ever at it' The big questions Mike If you were making a list of the most influential women from St. Clair County, you might begin with a premature baby born in a log cabin in Columbus Township nearly 150 years ago. That would be Sabina May West Miller, or more simply, Bina. With considerable genius and an indefatigable work ethic, Bina combined a deeply felt sense of humanity with shrewd marketing skills to create one of Port Huron’s bedrock private institutions, the not-for-profit Woman’s Life Insurance Society. Along the way, she gave the city one of its finest buildings as well as one of its most beautiful homes. The summer camp she founded on the shores of Lake Huron is now a state park. Thousands of families owe her a debt of gratitude for help in their times of need. Indeed, the good works she started 121 years ago this month continue to benefit this community, and many others like it, each and every day. I HAVE BEEN familiar with Woman’s Life for many years, and I have witnessed scores of community- betterment projects undertaken by its chapters, but I’ll admit that I long wondered about its basic structure. Was it a private business, and if so, why did it sponsor an elaborate network of charitable groups? In search of an answer, I called upon Karen Deschaine, the manager of communications. Woman’s Life, she explained, is a fraternal benefit society, one of 75 or so across the nation.
