My Masonic Education

Where should you begin?

Online options include blogs and podcasts.

Ashlars to Ashes is a good place to start for an automatically updated and aggregated list of current and past Masonic online contributions.

Blogs that I read most often (alphabetically, not in order of importance):

Freemasons for Dummies
Millennial Freemason
Pike Quotes
The Laudable Pursuit
The Mason's Lady
The Midnight Freemasons
The Tao of Masonry

Podcasts that I listen to most often (alphabetically again):

After Lodge
In the Chair
The Masonic Roundtable
The Tyler's Place
The Winding Stairs
Whence Came You?
X Oriente

Here are a few more online resources that I check out often:

Bessel's Masonic Info
California Freemason Digital Magazine
Freemason Information
Masonic Information Center
Pietre-Stones
Southern California Research Lodge

Offline, I recommend finding local lodges doing educational events. Around me, there are several lodges sharing light pretty regularly:

South Pasadena No. 290 "Illumination Series"
Culver-City Foshay No. 467 "Esoterica Group"

The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, USA administers a brilliant set of correspondence courses that cover the Craft and Scottish Rite degrees called the Master Craftsman Course. I highly recommend them, and if you do not already have the books they come with, it is cheaper to purchase the books with the program than by themselves.

MC I provides an esoteric perspective on the Blue Lodge degrees through Albert Pike's Esoterika
MC II provides a thorough overview of the Scottish Rite degrees through Art De Hoyo's Scottish Rite Ritual Monitor and Guide and Rex Hutchen's A Bridge to Light (must be purchased separately)
MC III delves into greater philosophical inquiry of the Scottish Rite degrees through Albert Pike's Moral and Dogma (annotated edition)

I recommend checking with your local Scottish Rite Valley as well for educational opportunities. Starting in January, the Pasadena Scottish Rite will have two different education groups.

The Philosophical Discussion Group meets the last Saturday of each month to discuss the historical and philosophical development of each of the Scottish Rite degrees, one per month.
The Master Craftsman Study Group will meet the third Saturday of each month to help brethren work together through the Master Craftsman courses described above.

If you have anything that I should add to this list, let me know. I will continually update it. I wish you the best on your search for greater light!
