3 The Secret Symbolism of the Cathedrals An Evening with Brother Timothy Hogan The Valley of Detroit is proud to present Brother Tim Hogan of East Denver Lodge No.160, A.F & A.M., for an evening of enlightening and inspirational Masonic education and fellowship. The lecture will give insights on the medieval cathedrals of England and France and their relationship with Masonic history and symbolism. It will give some background on the seven liberal arts and sciences, sacred geometry, the importance of St. John the Baptist and Pythagoras, and how these elements came to be included in Masonic ritual. The lecture will also touch on the Qabbalah and hermetic symbolism, and possible connections with the Knights Templar. Brother Hogan is a Past Master of East Denver Lodge No. 160, and a former District Lecturer for the Grand Lodge of Colorado. He is a 32 o Knight Commander of the Court of Honor in the Scottish Rite. He is an active member of Commandery, Royal Order of Scotland, Knight Masons, Societas Rosicruciana In Civitibus Foederatis, and a Past Sovereign Master in the Allied Masonic Degrees. He is the author of numerous books, and has been published in the Scottish Rite Journal, Heredom, The Journal of the Masonic Society, and Living Stones Magazine. He has been featured on ABC Nightline and Dateline NBC, and has been a part of several Masonic delegations to the Middle East. Brother Hogan is currently President of CIRCES International, an organization that studies the world s cultures and spiritual traditions throughout history. Tim Hogan has written the following books: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 ~ 7:30 p.m. The Alchemical Keys to Masonic Ritual The 32 Secret Paths of Solomon: A New Examination of the Qabbalah in Freemasonry Revelation of the Holy Grail (under the pen name Chevalier Emerys ) Novo Clavis Esoterika In addition to writing books, he has written dozens of articles and delivered hundreds of lectures around the world on different aspects of the esoteric tradition to both public venues and private Lodges and Grand Lodges. This event is open to all Masons in good standing. The event is free of charge, but as always reservations are a must. To make your reservation please call the Valley office at , register at the Valley website, or valleyofdetroit@32nddegreemasons.org.
4 A Freemason s Heart By Aimee E. Newell, Ph.D., Director of Collections, Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, Lexington, MA Last fall as Supreme Council staff packed up to move down to their new offices inside the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library building, a number of treasures were found in storage spaces and have since been added to the Museum s collection. One of the oldest items discovered was this engraving titled Freemasons Heart. Dating to about 1820, the engraving depicts a large heart under compasses and an all-seeing eye and flanked by allegorical figures of Liberty and Justice. The heart is divided into sections, each labeled with a virtue central to Masonic teachings such as fidelity, mercy and charity. At the center of the heart is a space marked Christianity with a G and square and compasses emblem on a Bible. A verse below the Bible reads The Bible rules our faith without factions, the square and compass rules our lives and actions. When we add a new object to our collection, we catalog it into our database system so we can track it and use it appropriately in our exhibitions, programs and publications. We try to do as much research as we can, although that can be an ongoing process, as it will be for this print. We have learned some history about it, but we still have a number of questions that require further study. Unfortunately, we do not know much about who originally owned this particular example. A handwritten inscription on the back of the frame reads Cap. Joseph Burnett, Stowe, Vermont. Possibly, this is the Joseph Burnett born in 1816 who died in 1875, but additional research is needed to conclusively identify him. It does make sense that the engraving would have been owned in Vermont because the engraver and publisher produced this print in that state. Engraver Moody Morse Peabody ( ) and publisher Ebenezer Hutchinson worked together in the
5 Quechee area of Vermont, near the New Hampshire border. As early as 1819, the two men produced a map of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Additional research is ongoing about the lives of these two men. Scholars George R. Dalphin and Marcus A. McCorison were able to track Peabody, who was born in Peterborough, New Hampshire, to Vermont and then to Whitehall, New York, in 1826 and to Utica, New York, where he was listed in city directories from 1828 to 1840 as an engraver and copperplate printer. He died in Ontario, Canada in Less information is currently known about Hutchinson; there are a couple of men with this name in the same general area around the time he was active, so it is difficult to know which one he was. It seems likely that Hutchinson and Peabody were Freemasons. The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts collection, on extended loan to the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, includes an engraved Royal Arch apron that is signed Printed and Sold by E. Hutchinson Hartford Queechy Village VT. Masonic scholar Kent Walgren found an 1820 advertisement in the Vermont Republican newspaper for Peabody who was selling Masonic aprons and diplomas through Hutchinson. Walgren also suggests that the inclusion of the motto Supporters of Government at the top of the print may allude to the Illuminati scare of the late 1790s in an attempt to win back public approval and explain that American Freemasons were not part of the Illuminati plot. If you know of other Masonic prints by Ebenezer Hutchinson or Moody Morse Peabody, please let us know by contacting Aimee Newell at anewell@monh.org or An exclusive event for Scottish Rite members and their guests Detroit Tigers vs Colorado Rockies Saturday, August 2, 2014 Enjoy the game from our private suite!
