FIRST KNOCK

Welcome and congratulations on taking the initial step. The journey you are endeavoring to embark on is one not to be taken lightly. The first question you must ask yourself is…Are you ready to leave the past version of yourself behind? Here you will be exposed to a variety of thoughts and ideas, some may challenge long held beliefs. The goal is to continually grow as men and as Masons. This is not a Lodge where you can expect to sit on sidelines and not engage or be engaged. Once you have stepped down the path you cannot return to the version of yourself you once knew. Letting go in order to grow is a necessity. If this is the journey you seek we invite to continue down the path by completing the following tasks.

1.      Purchase Iron John by Robert Bly: This book will expose you to idea of lessons taught through allegory.

2.      Read and reflect on Iron John and then share with the members of Esoterika through a blog post on the website.

3.      Meet in person or through phone call/text/zoom with a member of the Lodge at least once. Discuss your thoughts and expectations for your journey.
