In this episode Matias and Aksel explore perennialism, the philosophical concept that all religions point backwards to a single origin at a time before the catastrophe that destroyed the Golden Age. Is today's Freemasonry the remnant of this ancient and mysterious faith?

Freemasonry is an ancient occult science that trains its practitioner in the exploration of inner worlds. Dreams are the primary method by which we encounter worlds beyond the material in which new realities can be explored beyond the limitations of the material plane. But how does one cross the threshold and become a practicing dreamer?

The Root Races is the name for a concept which originated in the writings of Helena Blavatsky and was taken up and propagated by the early followers of Theosophy. It describes the evolution of human consciousness on the earth and the many cycles through which it progresses. What connection does this idea have to Freemasonry and how can it help us understand the role of the Ancient Mysteries?

Freemasonry is said to have its origins in "time immemorial" but what is this immaterial substance "time"? Why does its contemplation lead to the establishment of the Mysteries? Join Brothers Matias and Aksel as they attempt to answer these questions and many more in a far-ranging discussion on how humanity's understanding of time itself has been shaped throughout the centuries by occult and esoteric teachings.

It is often said that Freemasonry's origins belong to "time immemorial" and that our Craft stretches back to the institution of the Ancient Mysteries. But where exactly do these threads lead us? In this episode of Legends of the Craft join Brothers Matias and Aksel as they journey backwards to the very beginning of civilization - Sumeria - and the mythic tale of the goddess Inanna. Could the mysteries of Inanna be the origin of Masonic ritual?

Charles W. Leadbeater was a Freemason and a towering figure of the occult world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Reviled by some, adored by many others, he was certainly a controversial figure in his own lifetime. But his contributions to occult knowledge, Co-Masonry, the Theosophical Society and the Liberal Catholic Church not only vivified those institutions but inspired thousands around the world. Does this man deserve the scorn he so often receives?

Anderson's Constitutions, penned in 1723, form the foundation of modern Freemasonry. Much has been written about the historical veracity of this document, its origins, authenticity and its worth to the Craft. But very little has been said about what this document is exhorting Freemasons to do. Anderson's Constitutions give us the outline of an ancient honor code, a code which a Freemason is bound to live by and uphold. What does this code entail and how should the Freemason enact the strictures of Anderson's Constitutions in his daily life?

Postmodernism, and its offspring Critical Theory, is a 20th Century philosophy that emerged in Europe following the World Wars. Critical of modernity and of narrative in all its forms, Postmodernism is a deconstructive philosophy that seeks to break down all grand structures and lay bare the systems of power that create and maintain them. How can the Freemason interpret Postmodernism and what does this philosophy, if anything, have in common with the sublime doctrines of Masonry?

On this episode Matias and Aksel discuss Thomas More's masterpiece Utopia. Published in 1516 the book revolutionized Western political thought for centuries. In it, More describes a world completely at odds with his own, having solved the material and spiritual problems that plagued Europe at the time. What wisdom can be found in this treatise and how can we trace the philosophy of Freemasonry within the social structure laid out in Utopia?

On this episode Matias and Aksel discuss a very influential piece of Hermetic philosophy: the Kybalion. Written in 1908, its origins are shrouded in mystery. Allegedly authored by the "Three Initiates", the text explains the basic principles of Hermetic Thought. What hidden link to Freemasonry does it contain and how can its principles be adapted by the modern Mason?
