Join Us and Let Your Network Know #ImAMason!

Last year, for the first time ever, the Masons of California launched a two-week social media campaign called #ImAMason designed to help raise awareness of the fraternity among our members’ online networks.

That effort was a tremendous success, reaching more than two million people throughout California and around the world. This year, we’re bringing it back, with hopes of reaching even more people!

Between JULY 10–21, we’re asking all members who are comfortable doing so to post a short message on Facebook or Instagram saying why Freemasonry is important to you. By including the hashtag #ImAMason, we’ll be able to compile these posts and share them even more widely. This can be a written post or, even better, filmed as a video—whatever you prefer. Here’s a message from Grand Master Randall L. Brill to help you get started!

California Freemason: The Magic Issue

The parallels between Masonry and magic are clear to anyone who’s sat in a lodge room during a degree conferral or been astonished at a performer’s card trick.

They are both ageless institutions associated with secrets that members promise to keep within the circle. Both require a certain showmanship and panache to deliver a truly memorable experience, but most important, they share some significant membership overlap: virtually every one of the most celebrated magicians of the past 200 years have been Freemasons.

In the Magic Issue of California Freemason magazine, we’re casting a light on some of those connections; we look back at some of history’s famous Mason magicians, sit down with the first-of-its-kind magic affinity lodge, and hear from an expert about one of history’s earliest stage performers.
