Now, in episode number 230, I’m thrilled to bring you a brilliant interview with Freemason Josef Wäges, 32°, who is a board member of the Scottish Rite Research Society and a member of the Blue Friars (Masonic Authors).

Josef appeared on the podcast previously in episode 192 to discuss the history of the Order of the Illuminati (https://occultofpersonality.net/josef-wages-and-the-order-of-the-illuminati/).

Today's interview was an absolute joy because Josef is one of the most prominent Masonic historians on Earth whose work is among the most revelatory around. It was great to learn more about him and his research in this candid and relaxed interview. Enjoy! 

Topics included:

Introduction to Freemasonry



Family Background and Masonic Heritage



Ancient vs. Modern Freemasonry



The Role of Fear and Change



Future Works and Farewell
