Even the fundraising events seem to be for "Shrine Activities" rather than the hospitals (which ARE a great charity) - I also strongly object to the Shrine Circus because of the treatment of elephants. I make a donation to the Elephant Sanctuary instead of paying Shrine Dues.

I forgot to check the box to have future replies forwarded.<br /><br />I've had a longtime interest in the work of Joseph Campbell and also MW Brother Carl Jung (who was Master of the Grand Lodge of Switzerland), because of their work on symbolism and metaphor. I've wondered how Jung's Masonic education helped him develop his universal reading of symbolism vs. Freud's Togeikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03718418401458480928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521156856913693008.post-91063456057058310172013-03-12T08:16:09.179-05:002013-03-12T08:16:09.179-05:00I think all of you touch on the same thing, summed...I think all of you touch on the same thing, summed up in the words of Joseph Campbell, "Follow your bliss."

It is not just getting snockered on booze, but being educated about the finer points of scotch. It is great to get together with brothers outside of ritual, business and officers meetings. These retreats are a good way to get to know each other better.

We meet in Anoka on the first Friday of the month. We have a small group of Prophets, maybe the size of a club, but we are family-first.
