Freemasons on the Playa?

[Dr awkwarD]

I'm expecting the usual snark and conspiracy theories that I usually get, but I'll take a deep breath and post this anyway:

Are there Freemason camps in BRC? Perhaps a lodge?

If BRC can have churches and chapels, it makes sense that there could be a Masonic lodge as well...

[clocksnmirrors]

freemasons? no. i think all the playa masons cost at least $19.95

but if you order now you'll also get this nifty fruit dicer

IS BURNING MAN A SECRET MASONIC RITUAL?

. . . I don't know of a Freemason camp or temple, but that doesn't mean there isn't one, or that you shouldn't start one. People celebrate everything out there. You can have rituals all day long.

I do see an inactive yahoo group. Maybe you could join it and see if anyone is still listening.

You could also contact Masons in California, Oregon and Nevada and see if any of them Burn.

Yeah right, where are we supposed to find goats or virgins at BM?

Well, the goats like to camp in Kidsville.

For the first, ask Goathead and Jella. You might have to settle for birgins on the second.

Was that snarky enough for you?

Freemasons taste like chicken.

[tattoogoddess]

With a slight taste of wood smoke and concrete.

[Dr. Pyro]

I can say for sure there are a bunch of Clampers* at Barbie Death Camp. They're like Freemasons only drunker.

* For the uninitiated, a Clamper is a member of the ancient and honorable order of E Clampus Vitus. Google it.

[Simon of the Playa]

actually they have been on playa, and they might be there this year too.

i havent talked to them since last year...

[uncle sticky]

I'm pretty sure they don't really like that. They just pretend so the pimps won't beat them.

[trilobyte]

If there were freemasons on the playa, I can't imagine that they'd post about it publicly or respond to such open inquiries. But you never know...

Well, Masonic buildings in every city are labeled and listed in phone books, and a lot of Freemasons you meet are wearing some sort of ring or method of recognition.

I figured it was worth a shot.

It's not like Masonry is some big secret ... if you want to become a Mason, all you need to do is ask someone who is one. They need members BADLY!

To have a real lodge, you need to get Grand Lodge approval.

So, a BRC lodge is doubtful.

If a chartered Nevada lodge from the Grand Lodge of Nevada brought their charter to BRC, they could meet. Still, I agree that it's doubtful.

are there any freemen on the land camps on the playa in brc?! perhaps a creepy meeting of some sort?

if BRC can have Kinky Shit On My Face camps, and Cult of Bob camps .. it makes sense that there would be freemen on the land on the playa..

[mudpuppy000]

I would assume so, I've seen a few sand worms.

[fresh]

I personally am wondering if there are any camps associated with the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes?

Anyone?

[avalon25]

Ok, i was about to post something about that too.
I am a french mason (young master), and burner for the third time this year. The more I go to Bm, the more i'd love to meet a brother there in order to share and have his feeling about all the common points you can find between those two worlds. So if anybody here is a mason, feel free to contact me so that we can meet this year !
Talking about masonry with a non-mason or telling that you are one is not forbidden, but you may know that we're not allowed to say what is in rituals or to explain symbolism…
And for you all to know : we're not conspirating about taking control of the world, or any other stupid things like this ! If this conversation would turn into these kind of conspirationist theory, be sure it'd miss my voice !

if BRC can have Bene Gesserit camps, and Mentat camps .. it makes sense that there would be fremen on the land on the playa..

I dunno about Fremen, but sometimes you'll see a sandworm peeping out from under a long T-shirt.

[Ugly Dougly]

These days, I buy my sheep and goat meat "pre-sacrificed". Much less hassle.

[H.G.Crosby]

no digging allowed.

We focus on unpredictable step-rhythms whilst walking across the wyrm-infested playa.

[Ugly Dougly]

Usually a good mason will charge for their work.

[unjonharley]

Is freemason better than range playa chicken

This needs to be a camp!

[Stray Dog]

Ack-ack-a-dack!

How about the Society of the Yak? I'm the original founder of that one, no idea if any Yaksmen still exist or remember the beautiful cult we had once upon a time...
