Plea for Assistance from Our Cuban Brethren

La ciudad de Santiago de Cuba, Palma Soriano, Contramaestre, Mayarí, Mella, Bagüanos, Sagua de Tánamo, San Luis, el Cristo, Banes y otros Municipios Orientales se encuentran como zonas que bien pueden ser declaradas Zonas de desastre, debiéndose enviárseles todo tipo de recursos para ayudarles a palear este desastroso daño ,material que moral y sicológicamente los afecta.

La Gran Logia de Cuba debe dejar momentáneamente su odio a los masones que se han separado y unirse a ellos para solicitarles al Primer mandatario de la nación, que mediante un decreto especial se libere, las entradas de la aduana para hacerles llegar ayuda alimentaria, en materiales de construcción, en ropas y útiles para el hogar de los damnificados por este huracán Sandy.

AYUDEMNOS A NUESTROS HERMANOS CUBANOS QUE EN ESTOS MOMENTOS LO NECESITAN.

Demos demostración DE APRECIAR A NUESTROS HERMANOS CUBANOS.

Enviemos telegramas al Presidente de Cuba y a la Gran Logia de Cuba desde cuba y desde el exterior, solicitando esta solidaridad.

The city of Santiago de Cuba, Palma Soriano, Petty, Mayari, Mella, Baguanos, Sagua de Tánamo, San Luis, the Christ, Eastern Townships Banes and other areas are as well have been declared disaster areas, please send to them any resources to help repair this disastrous damage, moral and material that affects them psychologically.

The Grand Lodge of Cuba must let go of their hatred momentarily for Masons who have split and join them to ask the president of the nation, by special decree to release permission for customs entries for them to get food aid in construction materials, clothing and other useful materials to the homes of the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

In our Cuban brothers We must assist those that currently are in need.

We must show support for our Cuban brothers.

Send telegrams to the President of Cuba and the Grand Lodge of Cuba from Cuba and from abroad, supporting this solidarity.

Gran Logia de Cuba - Museo Nacional Masónico

Gran Logia de Cuba - Museo Nacional Masónico

Recently I've discovered an interesting series of videos - a brief video tour of the National Masonic Museum at the Grand Lodge of Cuba in Havana. I'd like to share them here to help expand the familiarity with the Masonic presence in Cuba and its involvement in Cuban history. This is part of the Hedge Mason's ongoing efforts to assist North American Freemasons become more familiar with Masonry in other countries and of other varieties than their own, part of the ongoing attempt to dissolve the walls that unfortunately divide us, and can only do us harm. I hope you will enjoy them.

Welcome to the Hedge Mason Blog, affiliated with the UMURM

A word or two by way of explanation may be

worth offering concerning the title of this blog.

Hedge Mason, like similar terms Hedge Master,

Hedge Lodge, and the more widely recognized

Hedge School, are terms from Hiberno-English.

The latter of these terms, as many Irish will know,

refers to illicit schools dedicated to the maintenance

of Irish culture and language, alongside the classics

of European Philosophy, including Greek and Latin studies.

These institutions were founded throughout rural Ireland during

the Penal era when Irish Gaelic culture was under attack

by the English occupier. During this time also, the term

Hedge was added to masonic terms to refer to any masonic

individual or institution not approved of by the

Anglophone world. These often were lodges and masons

working to advance the cause of Irish independence.

It seems a very appropriate term then, for me to use to

name this blog.

For quite a while I have observed various blogs and podcasts

relating to Freemasonry, finding both much worth emulating

and a few things worth avoiding among them. Fairly

quickly it became apparent to me that there was little

being published in North America (or elsewhere for that matter)

that dealt fairly and offering a positive perspective on Liberal

Freemasonry or the world beyond the confines of the

Preston-Webb Rites or the AASR Northern or Southern

Jurisdictions and especially with the Modern Rite with which

we are associated.. Such sites exist beyond the Anglophone

Internet, but The Hedge Mason will endeavor to bring some

of that information within the grasp of an English speaking

audience.

It seems to me that it is time for a change, and this blog

will hopefully serve as a small corrective step in that direction.

The goal of this blog will be to provide interesting topics

from time to time on subjects relating to Liberal Freemasonry

and on responsible alternatives to what is exemplified by the

mainstream Grand Lodge system in North America.

While this site will not avoid covering contemporary issues,

it will try to avoid heavy handed critiques of any system or

tradition within Freemasonry. It is my belief that there is no

such thing as clandestine or irregular freemasonry. Such

labels belittle the rich tapestry of our traditions both

contemporary and historical. Further, such attitudes

directly contradict the premise of brotherhood and fraternalism

which is the foundation of Freemasonry.

In short, this site is about education and expanding

the horizons of Freemasons of all stripes and those who

are just interested in the subject. It is not a place intended

for debate or dispute, although if it engenders some that might

be a good thing.

Just in case some object to certain posts being off topic,

please note the subtitle of this blog includes the phrase,

"and other stuff." That of course is because it's my blog and

occasionally I want to ramble.

We look forward to sharing with you!
