This week, we read harsh words from Manly P. Hall as he exposes fake occultists, those who would be masters if not for their lack of true knowledge or work ethic.

This week we’re traveling back in time to look at the history of the Mason’s Mark - Do Freemasons put a secret mark on all the things they create?
