Masonic Central episode III - John Ratcliff

This last weekend we recorded our third episode with John Ratcliff of the blog JRatcliffscarab.

In the interview we had a chance to talk about a variety of topics including why he became a Freemason, blogging, books on Freemasonry, esoteric Freemasonry vs. ritual magic, symbolism, the Boy Scouts, and traveling to visit other lodges.

For an hour long program, it was a pretty dense conversation.
