The Magician Reveals His Secret

There is a charge in freemasonry that tells us what we should see when we are near a real freemason.  It starts something like" Such is the nature of our..."   Brethren will know how it flows from here.

Whenever I hear it done well, it leaves me with a feeling that it is speaking about someone else.  To achieve the qualities described in the narrative is daunting- so much to do to approximate the ideal mason.

Sometimes, I get the darnest thoughts and think the darndest things.

To be the mason you are, is to discover the mason within
