Yesterday I visited Freemasons Hall in the Midlands town of Burton on Trent for the one-year Anniversary meeting of one of UGLE’s newest ‘special interest lodges’, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Lodge #10016.

Their ritual is slightly tweaked, so the Director of Ceremonies carries Gandalf the White’s staff, the Deacons carry lightsabers (complete with light and sound effects) and the Tiler’s weapon is a Klingon bat’leth. Other quirks include copies of Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer, acting as gavels and a TARDIS as a ballot box.

After the Festive Board there was a heated debate in the carpark about whether Call of Cthulhu or Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition was the better game, prompted by one of the brethren changing into a Cthulhu t-shirt for his long drive home in the hot weather. As they say, ‘Oh Wonderful Masons!’ 😁

    Well that’s right up my alley. I especially like the Master’s gavel. Only some are worthy to lift it 😀

    Thank you for sharing!

    I would love to see them do a 3rd degree! That would be awesome with lightsabers!
