Other Famous Non-members of Lodge Canoblas Lewis

So today, we will take a stroll down the days of the week to Thursday, or, Thursdy as it is said in the glorious & poetic New South Welsh language.

Those out there will not be surprised to know that Thursday is named after an ancient the Germanic god; Thor. And today we will look at the Masonic Activities of Thor in the Central West of New South Wales.

Despite modern depictions in the Movies, Thor has Red hair. He is strong & a fearless defender of Mankind, mainly from our enemies - the Frost Giants. His father is Odin (also known as Woden - see this Post Here!). His wife was called Sif, and he had some sons too Modi & Magni.

As any fan of the Marvel Movies will tell you, Thor has a magic Hammer called Mjolnir & he is the only person able to lift this mighty tool. Which straight away, points to the WMs gavel doesn't it?

In addition to the magic hammer, he has a rather unique way of getting about the place; Instead of a car, or cloud, or a boat, he rides on a Goat Cart. Pulled by two monstrous Goats - straight away, the mention of Goats piques the Masonic ears doesn't it!
Interesting factoid, these goats are called Gnasher & Grinder... I am not too sure where further investigation would take us on that front...

So, It may come as something of a surprise for you, but today I will CONFIRM that Thor is a Freemason... somewhere... in the Central West of New South Wales... BUT, he is not a member of Lodge Canoblas Lewis; as WE meet on Monday nights & Thor's sacred day is Thursday it is quite obvious that Thor IS, therefore, a member of Lodge Canowindra; they meet on Thursdays! In Canowindra.

I will at this point say that when he Gavels using Mjolnir, the earth moves!

So, If you would like to see if a Norse God is the Master of a Lodge, perhaps Lodge Canowindra may be of interest to you; however, as no-one joins a Lodge with the purpose of furthering their social status, perhaps the good natured fraternity of a Canoblas Lewis Monday night may be of interest to you!

So Mote it Be!

IMPORTANT: If you live closer to Canowindra rather than Orange & are interested in Lodge Canowindra, please feel free to contact Us & we will send you in the right direction.

Web of Hate!

Brethren

It has come to our attention that many people in the web actively promote hatred… as strange as it may seem too the modern day man, many Internet users seem to enjoy being nasty-pasties and spreading Internet posts with a very malicious theme.

This is Most Unmasonic indeed. And even worse,  biased hatred of this type makes YOU look like a raving fringe dwelling nutter.

We call upon all members of Lodge Canoblas Lewis to reject this all too easy click, forward & share of hatred. We call upon all to be the “bigger” & “better” man & stop sharing hatred.

We are of course talking about the #hatecoriander phenomenon.

Poetic Yes, But Nasty!

I don't think that this is the sort of slogan that won Ol' Blighty an Empire...

It refers to the percentage of the population who do not like this herb. This herb that is most commonly used in Thai cooking seems to have polarized so many.

Why hate coriander?  For that matter, why would one hate Parsley?  Or Garlic?

We at Canoblas Lewis plead for tolerance for not just coriander but for all the many herbs in the world. They are just herbs. Just being eaten. Why pick on the fragrant and frilly one?

It causes us much distress to think that people actively promote the hatred of a tangy Oriental parsley, hate speech directed at it could be directed at all herbs just as easily, and this is not masonic at all.

We are serious. People all over social media are clogging up the social feed of the Canoblas Lewis social media accounts with hate speech about their dislike of coriander. This ridiculous hate speech must stop! It makes us all the lesser for it. We call upon all to act as Masons do & look for the best & mot to promote the negative.

So please,  love Thai food or don't... or love Italian food or don't… but please don't hate the ingredients! Just let the ingredients be - live & let live!

So Mote it Be!

More Masonic Reading...

... Or Listening...

Recently,  a member of Lodge Canoblas Lewis was listening to the Conversation Hour with Richard Fidler, who was interviewing an Australian researcher called Rebecca Huntley.

During the interview  (towards the end infact) Rebecca stated that many Australian men felt that they did not have quality male friends...

... Well, Canoblas Lewis has the answer...

FREEMASONRY  brothers!

So, if you would like to listen to this rather interesting radio show, you can find it here: http://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/conversations-rebecca-huntley/8213794

If, after some consideration, you feel like freemasonry is something that you are interested in,  well come along on a Monday night!

So Mote it be!
