The Merits Of Secrecy, Paul J. Rich
Paul J. Rich
This is one of the talks which I give on occasion to a lodge, and often it is delivered after an initiation. It addresses the problem of secrecy, which in a free society is both a right and a difficulty. Undoubtedly one of the public relations hurtles for Freemasonry is its perception as a covert group.
Masonic Vocabulary, Paul J. Rich
Masonic Vocabulary, Paul J. Rich
Paul J. Rich
This is another of my talks that I frequently give to a lodge. Since the aim is participation, I generally start with a short little potted history of Masonic dictionaries and vocabulary, and then invite the audience to put forward words from the ritual for discussion -- "cowan" is one that always can launch things.

Eugenia Perez, Paul J. Rich
Paul J. Rich
Eugenia Perez is a supremely gifted Mexican artist. I have had the privilege of providing the introductions to some works about her.

This is taken from my study of Freemasonry viz Dan Brown's The Lost Secret

The Mexican Viceroy's French Cooks: Masonic Mysteries In The Palace Kitchens, Paul J. Rich
Paul J. Rich
The hitherto obscure eighteenth-century history of Freemasonry in Mexico is illuminated by the records of the Roman Catholic Inquisition, whose courts were active in torturing, trying, and punishing anyone suspected of Masonic activity. The Viceroy himself was not exempt from inquiry, and on a couple of occasions his French employees in his palace in Mexico City fell prey to the tribunal.
