    Ghost of Christmas Past. On the magazine cover, the present Duke of Kent as Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England. Behind him, his father, killed in an anomalous air acccident (when he too was Grand Master) that could well have been related to the “Hess Mess”.

    • No , those couldn’t possibly be connections, I mean you call fathers, grandfathers, and sons in an organization connections? Rather tenuous ones wildly speculative. What connections could one make?

    • Prince and Picknett suggest that RH was on board with the D of K in that fatal flying accident: if both died at approximately the same time then might any ritual in a properly const!tuted Lodge be a means of contacting RH’s disembodied consciousness ? Dead Past Masters and presumably Past Grand Masters are summoned/invited by the bretheren to attend to the lodge-work at each meeting….

      • Baz.. Whoa!! … now that IS interesting thought .. I’m at a place where ALL cards are on the table .. you just have to have the intuition .. wisdom and sense to turf the “jokers” out ..

        • the way I’m looking at this (today) is that any high ranking Mason should be, at least, a competent occultist…and if RH was similarly au fait with resurrection rituals and frank esoterica, would it not make some sense that, as they are hurtling towards their deaths in the doomed aeroplane, both men would “psychically connect” to each other ? If, as Picknett and Prince suggest, they had a common purpose in life, then wouldn’t a common purpose, post mortem, be reasonably adduced by others, if not by themselves…?

          • That’s such an intriguing notion .. I would think ALL 33 degree masons would be competent occultists (knowing that one can never become a 33er unless invited) So what IS the difference between a 32 degree and a 33rd) .. I think that’s the answer.. Food for thought for sure ..

          • Interesting line to pursue… though I suspect that nominally having a “degree” rarely coincides with the type of abilities you suggest
