Actually he was recieved as a regular(ie Brit approved)Mason in a Blue Lodge
in Paris. The Mexican degrees were Scottish Rite or something not(Brit
approved), but pendant to the Blue Lodge. Thats leaving out any discussion
of the "Rite du Memphis et Mizraim".

Face it bud, if it weren't for young occultists joining looking for "the
mysteries" after having read Crowley or people of the "dementoid conspiracy
theorist" type(like Mikey here), who in the sweet abyss would want to join
such a fuddy duddy organization as the Masons in the first place. Anybody
under 60 that is.

Hell, at least the Oddfelows are getting taken over by Pagans.
