Friends,

Forgive me the title which may come off as sounding condescending and disparaging. It is not intended that way at all. In fact I say there is "Hope for Freemasonry" specifically because I disagree respectfully with many individual Freemasons (especially those in administrative positions within different  Grand Lodges) that say the Craft is fading.

Masonic Lodges like Lodge of the Nine Muses are moving away from meatloaf dinners and pure philanthropy and more towards providing good people with an "Initiatic Experience and an "Education on the Self". The tide turns and as it does membership in Freemasonry will grow as more emphasis is placed on these aspects of the "Craft". See below:

Congratulations Lodge of the Nine Muses; your actions speak volumes about your Lodge and its Brothers.

Unus Multorum...a humble unknown philosopher.
