There are many Freemasons around the globe who have embraced the idea of internet communication through the creation of Masonic blogs; and with today's post I will be looking at a number of these sites to bring your attention to the best Masonic blogs that I feel the internet currently has to offer.

Dan Brown's new book is known to be about Freemasonry and its relationship to the United States, however a recent interview with Robert 'Bob' Cooper of the Grand Lodge of Scotland has indicated that the plot may revolve around the traitorous nature of George Washington and a cover-up orchestrated by his Masonic brethren.

Web 2.0 is well and truly entrenched within modern culture and social communication, but what then is Freemasonry as a whole doing to embrace this technological evolution? Is it taking advantage of this new user-centered experience that the web has become? Surely, as a fraternity, it should be well placed culturally to do just that...

In the last few entries of this blog I have discussed the basics of just what esoteric Freemasonry is and how one might begin to approach the study of it. Moving on from my last post however, there are some obvious further steps that can be taken - and the most obvious and readily accessible for all brethren is to be found in the many side degrees and appendant orders that exist within Freemasonry, particularly that of the Holy Royal Arch.
