Dormer MSC Dormer Masonic Study Circle for Freemasons wishing to understand the Hidden Mysteries in The Craft |
It was in the belief that modern Freemasonry is the successor to the ancient Mystery Systems, and that its worth as a spiritual and moral force in society can be developed only through an increased understanding of its own system, that the Dormer Masonic Study Circle was founded on the 13th January 1938. Its founders laid no claim to authority other than that which arises from integrity and sincere belief. Its policy is guided by a Governing Council, but its members are from many Constitutions in most of the world, the only restriction being that applicants for membership must be Master Masons who owe allegiance either to the United Grand Lodge of England or to a Grand Lodge which is in fraternal relationship with that of England
The aim of the Circle is to teach and uphold the highest ideals of Freemasonry, to help brethren towards a better interpretation of Masonic allegory and symbolism, and to guide them to a move profound knowledge and appreciation of the true meaning and purpose of the Craft system. We believe that the Wisdom, the Power, and the Beauty of Freemasonry are the basic forces which can bring Light and inspiration to all who are properly prepared to receive them.
Meetings are held at a venue in Central London on the first Saturday in January, September and December and second Saturday in June, normally on Saturday afternoons between the hours of 2pm and 5pm. They are quite informal and no regalia is required.
Papers are read at the meetings and many are printed in the form of
Transactions.
Normally there are four Transactions per year, and in addition the Report of
the Annual Festival, which is held in March of each year. Members are entitled
to receive automatically those publications which are issued during the year of
his membership. A list of all Transactions are printed in the Proceedings of the
Annual Festival, some are still available for separate purchase.
Joining Fee £10.00
Annual Subscription £15.00
