Don't be a CircumPunk | Masonic Self Control

Don't be a CircumPunk | Masonic Self Control

Author: Juan Sepulveda September 20, 2022 Duration: 25:17

I believe that Freemasonry has benefited greatly from the connectivity that the Internet has provided. Today, curious people from around the globe, who once only heard sporadically about this organization, can do a little research and even find a Lodge nearby for them to approach. However, the connectivity of the internet hasn't only brought positive things to the fraternity, it has also served as a fertile ground for a mischievous creature I like to call… The CircumPunk.

You may have heard of the circumpunct before, that symbol of the point within a circle, which alludes to our ability to circumscribe our desires and keep our passions within due bounds. Well, the CircumPunk is no other than that Brother who neglects the lessons of the compasses and allows their imprudence to know no bounds.
