C It's English Origins and History I have many ancestors from London who were members of various Freemasonry and London Livery companies I have created this article on the history of the Freemasons, England is the oldest European country ( 1500 years old ) and London itself was founded by the Romans in 53 AD,The history of Freemasonry originates from the time of the Knights Templer, The aim of Freemasonry is to study the development, evolution and events of the fraternal organisation known as Freemasonry, This history is generally separated into two time periods: before and after the formation of the Grand Lodge of England in 1717, Before this time, the facts and origins of Freemasonry are not absolutely known and are therefore frequently explained by theories or legends, After the formation of the Grand Lodge of England, the history of Freemasonry is extremely well-documented and can be traced through the creation of hundreds of Grand Lodges that spread rapidly worldwide,English Masonic historians place great importance on 24 June 1717 (St, John the baptist's day) when four London lodges came together at the Goose and Gridiron Ale House in St Paul's churchyard and formed what they called The Grand Lodge of England, Although Freemasonry had existed in England since at least the mid-1600s and in Scotland since The Schaw Statutes were enacted in 1598 and 1599, the establishment of a permanent Grand Lodge in London in 1717 is traditionally considered the formation of organized Freemasonry in its modern sense,A credible historical source asserting the antiquity of Freemasonry is the Halliwell Manuscript or UGG Australia on sale Regius Poem - believed to date from ca, 1390, This makes reference to several concepts and phrases similar to those found in Freemasonry, The manuscript itself seems to be an elaboration on an earlier document, to which it refers,There is also the Cooke Manuscript, an undated manuscript constitution from the mid-15th century, the oldest of the Gothic Constitutions, The first statutory use of the word 'Freemason' in England appears in the Statutes of the Realm enacted in 1495 under Henry VI, although the archaic term "frank mason" had been used fifty years earlier, Prior to that, the earliest use of the term "frank Masons" was in a 1376 reference to the "Company of frank Masons," one of the numerous craft guilds of London,By 1583, the date of the Grand Lodge manuscript, the documentary evidence begins to grow, These are described as Head and Principal respectively, As a side note, following a dispute over numbering at the formation of the Grand Lodge of Scotland (GLS) - Kilwinning is numbered as Lodge Mother of KilwinningNumber 0 (pronounced 'Nothing'), GLS, Quite soon thereafter, a charter was granted to Sir William St, Clair (later Sinclair) of Roslin (Rosslyn), allowing him to purchase jurisdiction over a number of lodges in Edinburgh and environs, This may be the basis of the Templar cheap uggs myth surrounding Rosslyn Chapel,The Regius Poem and Cooke manuscript, about 1390 and 1410 respectively, are written in the dialects of the west and southwest of England, and may have been written for the school of masonry associated with Salisbury Cathedral,Early operative Freemasons, unlike virtually all Europeans except the Clergy, were Free - not bound to the land on which they were born, The various skills required in building complex stone structures, especially churches and cathedrals, allowed skilled masons to travel and find work at will, They were lodged in a temporary structure - either attached to, or near, the main stone building, In this lodge, they ate, slept and received their work assignments from the master of the work, To maintain the freedom they enjoyed required exclusivity of skills, and thus, as an apprentice was trained, his instructor attached moral values to the tools of the trade, binding him to his fellows of the craft,( citation needed ),Freemasonry's transition from a craft guild of operative, working stonemasons into a fraternity of speculative, accepted, gentleman Freemasons began in Scottish lodges during the early 1600s, The earliest record of a lodge accepting a non-operative member occurs in the records of the Lodge of Edinburgh (Mary's Chapel), 8 June 1600, where it is shown that John Boswell, Laird of Aucheinleck, was present at a meeting, The first record of the initiation of a non-operative mason in a lodge is contained in the minutes of the Lodge of Edinburgh (Mary's Chapel) for 3 July 1634, when the Right Honourable Lord Alexander was admitted a Fellowcraft, The first record of the Initiation of a non-operative on English soil, was in 1641 when Sir Robert Moray was admitted to the Lodge of Edinburgh (Mary's Chapel) at Newcastle,From the early 1600s references are found to Freemasonry in personal diaries and journals, Elias Ashmole was made a Mason in 1646 and notes attending several Masonic meetings, There appears to be a general spread of the Craft, between Ashmole's account and 1717, when four English Lodges meeting in London taverns joined together and founded the Grand Lodge of London (now known as the United Grand Lodge of England), They had held meetings, respectively, at the Cheshire Cheese Tavern, the Apple-Tree Tavern, the Crown Ale-House near Drury Lane, the Goose and Gridiron in St, Paul's Churchyard, and the Rummer and Grapes Tavern in Westminster,With the foundation of this first Grand Lodge, Freemasonry shifted from being an obscure, relatively private, institution into the public eye, The years following saw new Grand Lodges open throughout Europe, How much of this growth was the spreading of Freemasonry itself, and how much was due to the public organization of pre-existing private Lodges, is uncertain,Please visit my Funny Animal Art Prints Collection @ fabprints My other website is called Directory of British Icons: fabprints,webs

time, Lets explore some of these interpretations from the Roman period to the modern day and divide our study into what we could term the Folklore interpretations and the Archaeological interpretations although as we shall see in some cases the two overlap, Within this two way division we can also discuss briefly the interpretations of Stonehenge as an astronomical observatory and a sacred site - again both can reflect aspects of the site's ritual nature - although its worth remembering that the very earliest part of Stonehenge did not have any solar alignment,FolkloreThere are many references to Stonehenge in folklore, In the 12th century Geoffrey of Monmouth included a story in his Historica Regum Britanniae that associated the monument's building with Merlin, A version of this story made it into Wace's Norman French 'Roman de Brut' and Layamon's Middle English 'Brut', Geoffrey relates that Stonehenge was originally built in Ireland by giants and Merlin transported it to its current location, This was said to be the burial place of Ambrosius Aurelianus and Uther Pendragon and finally Constantine III,According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, the rocks of Stonehenge were healing rocks, called the Giant's dance, which giants brought from Africa to Ireland for their healing properties, Aurelius Ambrosias (5th century), wishing to erect a memorial to the 3,000 nobles, who had died in battle with the Saxons and were buried at Salisbury, chose Stonehenge (at Merlin's advice) to be their monument, Other folklore accounts also include references to the Heel Stone, Friar's Heel or Sun Stone, When one stands within Stonehenge, facing north-east through the entrance towards the heel stone, one sees the sun rise above the stone at summer solstice, A seventeenth century folk tale relates the origin of the Friar's Heel reference, The Devil bought the stones from a woman in Ireland and brought them to Salisbury plain, The Devil then cried out, "No-one will ever find out how these stones came here!" A friar replied, "That's what you think!," whereupon the Devil threw one of the stones at him and struck him on the heel, The stone stuck in the ground and is still there, A more simple explanation for the name might be that the stone,heels, or leans, Folklore continues into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Stonehenge has been revived as a place of religious significance by adherents of Neopagan and New Age beliefs, particularly the Neo Druids,Ronald Hutton remarked that "it was a great, and potentially uncomfortable, irony that modern Druids had arrived at Stonehenge just as archaeologists were evicting the ancient Druids from it," The first such Neo-druidic group to make use of the megalithic monument was the Ancient Order of Druids who performed a mass initiation ceremony there in August 1905, in which they admitted 259 new members into their organization, Between 1972 and 1984 Stonehenge was the site of the free festival, In fact we can say that this Druidical interest really goes back to the work of William Stukely who can also be classified as one of the first people to attempt an antiquarian explanation for Stonehenge but more on Stukeley in our next section, So we can see that folkloric interpretations of the site changed over time from the Arthurian legends to the modern times,Archeological research and interpretation of the ritual nature of StonehengeThroughout recorded history Stonehenge and its surrounding monuments have attracted attention from antiqarians,and archaeologists, Henry of Huntingdon a 12th century cleric wrote ' No one can conceive how such great stones have been so raised aloft, or why they were built there' John Aubery,was one of the first to examine the site with a scientific eye in 1666, and recorded in his plan of the monument the pits that now bear his name, William Stukeley,continued Aubrey's work in the early 18th century, but took an interest in the surrounding monuments as well, identifying (somewhat incorrectly) the Cursus and the Avenue, He also began the excavation of many of the barrows in the area, and it was his interpretation of the landscape that associated it with the Druids, Stukeley was so fascinated with Druids that he originally named Disc Barrows,as Druids' Barrows, Here we see the interface of archeology and folklore in fact in the interpretation of the ritual nature of Stonehenge,The fact is we still have no complete interpretation of the ritual nature of Stonehenge, Brian Fagan in his book 'From Black Land to Fifth Sun' states ' What was Stonehenge, What prevailed on Stone Age and Bronze Age farmers,,,to construct such an imposing set of stone circles , Was Stonehenge the centre of some long forgotten religious cult or was it an observatory,,,' Fagan then goes on to consider the work of Lockyer, Hawkins, and Thom who all attempted to show the detailed astronomical function of the site without success in Fagan's opinion, However, as far back as Stukeley the simple solar alignment was in evidence and Fagan feels that Stonehenge may reflect a distinctive idea of time as circular, If it is not a sophisticated astronomical observatory I think there can be less doubt that it is a sacred site, Its positioning in a ritual landscape seems clear but I don't think we can go as far as Fagan thinks in claiming " I believe that the stone circles were also a powerful political statement, a symbol of traditional religious beliefs at a time of ongoing political and social change," I just do not think we have the wider contextual evidence for this,Perhaps we are on firmer ground when we consider the sacred nature of the site from its wider geographical context, William Cunningtom was the next to tackle the area in the early 19th century, He excavated some 24 barrows before digging in and around the stones and discovered charred wood, animal bones, pottery and urns, He also identified the hole in which the Slaughter Stone once stood, At the same time Richard Colt Hoare,began his activities, excavating some 379 barrows on Salisbury Plain before working with Cunnington and William Coxe,on some 200 in the area around the Stones, Fagan states ' The settings of some important burial mound groups close to Stonehenge leave no doubt as to the importance of their owners,,, Many barrows must have had a wealth of association for those who used and maintained Stonehenge'ConclusionPerhaps it is simplest if we list the changing interpretations of the ritual nature Stonehenge Folkloric interpretations vary from Arthurian legends, to battles with the Devil in the vicinity of Stonehenge, Stukeley and others saw it as an ancient Druidical sacred site Hawkins, Thom and Lockyer saw Stonehenge as an astronomical observatory, Many archeologists see it as a sacred site associated with burials - evidence from Durrington Walls discovery seems to support this as do earlier discoveries of cremated human remains in post holes at Stonehenge itself, New theories including evidence from the Amesbury and the Boscombe Bowmen suggests Stonehenge may have been a healing site, Fagan and others see it as part of a larger sacred landscape,The work of Julian Richards and also The Durrington Walls evidence seems to back this up quiet strongly, There is also some connection with the concept of time because of the basic solar alignment but I agree with Fagan that this may be more symbolic than detailed, Recent suggestions also include the suggestion that Stonehenge may have been a concert setting both ancient and modern because of its acoustic properties, ! However, what I find particularly interesting is the 2008 work of Darvill in dating the bluestone pillars and the discovery of organic material from 7000 BC which adds support for the site being used at least 4000 years before Stonehenge was even started - although we do not seem to have evidence of ritual on the site from that far back it reminds us all that the interpretations of the ritual nature of Stonehenge still continue to evolve, How the Expansion of Rome Was the Start of the End for the Roman Empire The story of Rome is one of adaptation, Rome lasted as an imperial power for about 800 years, but only because it kept changing, The early growth of Roman power sprang from a zealous and rapacious republicanism that eventually threatened to destroy the Republic itself, Unlike Athens, however, Rome restructured to resolve the tension between Republic and Empire, Subsequently, Rome began to resemble the Persia of Cyrus and Darius in the measures it took to cope with its increasing size and multiculturalism, In the end, the extension of Roman citizenship made it hard to continue speaking of an empire at all,CitizensAfter 1200 BCE, the eastern Mediterranean entered a dark age and tribes from around the Danube overran both Greece and Italy, Much of central Italy became settled by Latins, In the 8th century BCE, as a new Greece was forming, three Latin tribes came together as the Romans, in the hills around a crossing point on the River Tiber, Here they farmed pigs and traded salt from the mouth of the river, They had a king, who was advised by a council of 300 elders known as the senate,To the north were the Etruscans, From their heartland in Tuscany they gained control of a string of cities and, around 625 BCE, became kings of the Romans, They built a sewerage system to drain the valley and create the Forum, an area where the hillside villagers could meet to trade and discuss matters, Scattered villages now became a city,Etruscan trade between northern Italy and Magna Graecia ('Greater Greece') in the south brought Greek civilization to the Romans and drew attention to a bridge they had built across the Tiber, To defend this bridge, an army of all those able to arm themselves was created, with soldiers organized into ranks depending on the equipment they could afford, The first rank kitted themselves out like Greek infantry, with swords, spears, heavy armour and shields they would lock together to create a solid barrier,By 509 BCE, the nobility of Rome was largely Etruscan, but this did not stop them throwing out their king, Tarquin, following his son's rape of Lucretia, a wellknown noblewoman, The Roman kingdom now became a res publica - a 'concern of the people',To prevent a return to absolute rule, the new Republic strengthened the senate, It received the power to pass law and oversee the appointment of government, Rome was now led by two consuls, professional civil servants elected annually by the senate after climbing a ladder of promotion, In practice, however, transfer of power to the senate was a gradual process,The senate was staffed by the patrician class, the old nobility, and two hundred years of the plebeians (the rest of Rome's citizens) pushing for political representation kept it weak, General strikes won the plebeians their own assembly - and, moreover, access to the senate for the wealthy among them (as senators were not paid), Eventually, political agitation faded as a new senatorial class of nobles and rich businessmen came to dominate government,The Republic was based on an idea that resonated far beyond the senate, however: the idea of the Roman citizen, a free man of property, Since all property was owned by male heads of families, there was only one citizen for each household, whatever its size,The property requirement went back to the Etruscan army; citizenship meant having the means to help defend the Republic, With this came the right to vote and other privileges, but most citizens were farmers for whom cooperating to protect and extend their homesteads meant having a stake in society in and of itself, The citizen army was the basis of Roman identity,With the Etruscan kings gone, trade with the south declined and Rome turned to its Latin neighbours, leading a league of cities to take territory and open trade, Peeved at not sharing equally in the spoils, the other cities rose up against Rome in 340 BCE, only for Rome to abolish the Latin League, absorb its possessions and continue its own expansion,Roman expansion within Italy was nevertheless a subtle matter, Most of the defeated Latins were made Roman citizens and this became a general pattern, Territory was seized, garrisons were stationed in key locations, roads were built radiating out from Rome, but conquered peoples were often given citizenship or classed as allies with partial rights, Rome benefited from both; citizens paid tax and served in the army, allies paid tribute and supplied their own troops, Beyond this, the different peoples of Italy were becoming used to Roman institutions and Roman culture, World War I - The Western Front World War I saw a new form of mass battle with newly formed mechanized armies battling along various Front lines,, The most well know is the Western Front,, This referred to the German Western Front from 1915 through 1918 in which they fortified their newly won borders with easily defendable trenches,, The term took on even more meaning when the British and French allies began using it in their battle plans as well,, From there, as they say, the name is history,, This designation made it easier to identify the geography on a map and keep it separate from other Fronts observed at the time,Made infamous by the fact that it was the prominent battle line during this full scale war,, The battle line remained unbroken for nearly 400 miles in 1915, an incredible feat and monumental task to hold,, It went from the Belgian coast to the Swiss borders, north and south, but also east and west to the city of Verdun and then again south to east to Belfort making it an odd line that showed the variety of geography and level of resistance the Germans and Austrians experienced,The allies were in specific areas of the Western Front- Belgium the north, Britain the north central and the French held on to the rest,, As you can imagine there were many conflicts that saw the armies fighting side-by-side of each other,, This must have made for an interesting mix of technology as firearms, knives, bayonets, shovels and more were used daily in the trenches,The trench systems employed were heavily protected by barbed wire, zig-zagged through the landscape and were so long and deep they were difficult to conquer,, A perfect defense for the tech and strategies of the day, as you could not go around or through them without suffering tremendous loss,, So hard in fact, that neither side saw any decisive victories for 3 years,, Hundreds of battles erupted continuously during this time, from small skirmishes to larger well planned engagements, but it took years and many lives for any side to realize an advantage,, More times than not the allies initiated the battles and as we look back we see the heavy losses each side experienced,Casualties were approximately: 5 million German and Austrian troops wounded or killed, over 5 million French wounded or killed, just fewer than 3 million British wounded or killed and 58 thousand Belgians wounded or killed,, Over 13 million casualties on both sides were so devastating and grand in scale that some proclaimed this "the War to end War",, Sadly this was not to be, A Biography Of Emily Dickinson's Life And Writing Emily Dickinson was a woman who lived in times that are more traditional; her life experiences influence and help us to understand the dramatic and poetic lines in her writing, Although Dickinson's poetry can often be defined as sad and moody, we can find the use of humor and irony in many of her poems, By looking at the humor and sarcasm found in three of Dickinson's poems, "Success Is Counted Sweetest", "I am Nobody", and "Some keep the Sabbath Going to Church", one can examine each poem show how Dickinson used humor and irony for the dual purposes of comic relief and to stress an idea or conclusion about her life and the environment in the each poem, Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst Massachusetts; a small farming town that had a college and a hat factory, There, she was raised in a strict Calvinist household while receiving most of her education at a boarding school that followed the American Puritanical tradition, She seldom left her hometown; virtually, her only contact with her friends came to be made through letters, As a young woman, Dickinson rejected comforting traditions, resisted male authority, and wrestled alone with her complex and often contrary emotions, Although she was claimed to be a high-spirited and active young woman, Dickinson began to withdraw from society in the 1850's, The many losses she experienced throughout her life, the death of her father, mother, close neighbors, and friends influenced her life largely and led her to write about death to an enormous amount, Dickinson made a few attempts during her life to be taken as more than an amateur poet; on one occasion, she sent a collection of her poems to a correspondent who was a published poet, His criticism of her poetry devastated Dickinson, and she never made another attempt towards publishing her works, Evident through her letters and poems, her poetry records intense devotion, sharp, skeptical independence, doubt, and what repeatedly reflects her happiness and despair, In the poem, "Success is Counted Sweetest"; Dickinson's emphasis is less on humor and more on expressing irony, Here it is bitterness expressed towards the status or notion of success that is most felt by the reader as Dickinson reflects on the nature of success and how it can be best appreciated and understood by those who have not achieved it, While the previous poem expresses the poet's bitterness and sorrow with one aspect of her life, "I am Nobody" uses humor without irony to address another, In this poem, Dickinson's style appears almost child-like in its of descriptions including frogs and bogs, Dickinson seems to be addressing her spinster, hermit-like existence, and her preference for it, The poet relates through her writing that her situation has not left her without a sense of humor, but in fact has allowed her to maintain a child-like outlook on life rather than adapting to the tedious norms of her society, She mocks the conventional need for self-importance through publicity suggesting that the audience is not that interested by creating the mysterious feeling of an arcane society of social outcasts, In this poem, she effectively uses humor to soften a critique of elite members of her society, In addition, in the poem "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church", she questions the sincerity of those who attend church on Sunday on a customary basis, Through the use of comparing the formalities of church with her own celebration of the Sabbath through the appreciation of nature, Dickinson casually suggests that those in attendance at church may not be as sincere in their worship as she is, Dickinson ridicules the congregation as she accuses them of attending merely for show and to gain status in the community, Also, she argues with the notion that attending church alone will lead towards salvation, suggesting that it is her own actions of finding God in nature that will lead to the path of redemption, The humor in this poem is not as explicit as in the other poems discussed, nor is the irony as directly expressed as in "Success is Counted Sweetest", The reader can sense Dickinson's sarcasm in the opening lines of "Some Keep the Sabbath going to Church" - / I keep it staying home", and will react to its most definitive form in the closing lines of "So instead of getting to Heaven, at last C and escaped Hollywood's notice -- is disgraceful,, He survived because Travis dispatched him to summon aid from Sam Houston,, Houston didn't have help to send and figured, quite sensibly, Seguin would do more good commanding Mexicans in Houston's camp than dying at the Alamo,, As thanks for Sequin and his men helping Houston win, once the war was won, white Texans promptly kicked every last Mexican Texan who risked his life, including Seguin, right out of the newly free country,, About which Houston, no longer general, now president, didn't do a damned thing You have to wonder whether Juan Seguin had been shooting at the right folk,After the battle at that church, Texas did not become a state because a still outnumbered, largely rag-tag army ran around enraged, shouting "Remember the Alamo" at The Battle of San Jacinto and miraculously prevailed on the strength of sentiment,, Texas became a state because Santa Anna was a lousy strategist and Houston was wily as a cornered fox,, Santa Anna got out ahead of his main body with a relatively small force that amounted to a big scouting party,, Houston picked his spot, had some fellas go burn a bridge to cut off Santa Anna's retreat and block reinforcements,, He caught the over-confident generalissimo with his britches down,Not much of a fighting man, himself, Santa Anna, caught unprepared, ran, had to be tracked down and, in exchange for his life, signed Texas over to Houston,, While there were more than enough infantry, cavalry and cannons to wipe out Houston plus three times his men,, They just were late getting to the fight,, They were still trying to catch up to Santa Anna when they got there and found out he'd surrendered, The Texans didn't gallantly win so much as Mexico, in fact the good guys, stupidly lost,, But the propaganda that gets peddled in American schools is not going to say that,, Hell, according to those books, the U,S, has never been a bad guy in any war,, s famous dictum that those who C Apple computers were mostly suitable for the education and desktop publishing needs because of the ease of exploiting, which made them relatively prevalent in those industries, The private customers preferred the Intel-based and the IBM machines,Host Markets the rugged colonists of Jamestown and the Puritan refugees of Plymouth Rock
