In this throwback episode recorded to support Esotericism in Freemasonry Conference 2022, Bro. Doug Russell sits down to explore how Freemasonry fits into the growing academic field of Western Esotericism. A past editor of the Fraternal Review and an officer of the Academy of Reflection, Bro. Russel brings a unique perspective that bridges scholarly research and lived Masonic practice.
The conversation digs into why academics are only now beginning to take Freemasonry seriously as a subject of study, how the craft intersects with broader currents in Western Esoteric thought, and what it means for brethren when scholars start examining the traditions from the outside looking in.
Bro. Doug Russell returns to the Esotericism in Freemasonry Conference 2026 this September, where he will be leading the Friday night meditation session and presenting his upcoming book. Tickets are available at esotericmasonry.com.
