FREEMASONRY
I was initiated into Freemasonry in 1990. I am a Master Mason (raised in 1992) and a Past Master, currently belonging to the United Grand Lodge of England (Internet Lodge No. 9659, Province of East Lancashire). Previously, I was a member of Grand Lodges in Canada, the G.L.F.A.A.M. of the District of Columbia, and the Grand Lodge of the State of Nevada (USA).
I have also received the 32 degrees of the American Scottish Rite in Washington, D.C., and was exalted in the Royal Arch in Canada.
Masonic Contributions
In 1997, at a time when French Freemasonry was still hesitant to engage with the Internet, I created the first international online Masonic magazine (restricted to Freemasons), titled La Parole Circule (“Spread the Word”). For several years, it remained the only Masonic publication available online, regularly sharing research produced within the lodges until 2008.
I was also one of the three co-founders of the first French Masonic online community, the Fraternelle des Internautes Francophones.
Institutional Work
While living in France, and prior to joining American Freemasonry, I served as Worshipful Master within the Grand Orient de France (the largest Masonic organization in France). I received all the degrees of Egyptian Freemasonry (33°–95°), as well as other allied degrees.
In 1999, the Grand Orient de France asked me to work as a specialist in ancient Masonic documents in order to develop a dedicated section within the organization. Over a period of three years, I reawakened, founded, and organized within the Grand Orient de France the Egyptian system of Memphis-Misraïm, following the structure of the American degrees as organized by Yarker.
That same year, I was also entrusted with the creation of a scientific publication titled Arcana.
In recognition of my work and contributions, I was appointed Grand Chancellor in 2002 and Grand Orator in 2003.
International Activity and Publications
Some years later, I moved to North America, where I was received into Canadian and American Freemasonry. I also received honorific degrees within the Scottish Rite in Washington, D.C.
Ten of my books have been published in French, several of which focus on Freemasonry.
In 2010, I became the first French author to be directly published in English by Llewellyn Publications (USA). Several of my books have since been published, with more in preparation.
My first English-language book on Freemasonry is titled Secrets and Practices of the Freemasons. In recognition of my work in this field, the Grand Master of the State of Nevada honored me by writing the foreword to this book.
Main Focuses
My Masonic studies focus on rituals, individual spiritual practices, esoteric degrees, and Egyptian/Hermetic Freemasonry.
I was among the first to publish individual esoteric Masonic rituals designed for personal practice. Historically, Freemasonry was far less restricted than it is today, and practitioners developed a wide range of creative and deeply esoteric degrees, initiations, and practices.
I continue to explore and progressively present this rich and valuable spiritual heritage.
Lectures and Contact
I regularly give lectures and seminars in lodges and valleys in various countries around the world.
