Coronation Lodge No. 2927 has a quarterly Masonic Publication associated with it called Coronatio Quadrans, or CQ for short.

One part of the publication is “Question from the Master” This is where the Lodge’s Worshipful Master asks a esoteric or masonic question to the Lodge Mentor who will answer it in an article in the next edition. After the Mentor answers the question, the “Question” is thrown open to all, and anyone can try and answer it themselves anonymously. The CQ Editors will read all the submissions and pick the best which gets published in CQ.

The Question in CQ2 was “What is the Significance of Portals in Freemasonry?” The question intrigued me, especially since the Mentor’s answer was “there are no portals in Freemasonry.” I therefore decided to throw my hat into the ring and anonymously answer the question.

It turns out I won.

“What did you win?” you ask, (yes I heard you. I have explained in an old blog post, I can hear you when you speak out loud while reading this site).

Well my prize is that I get to write an article on any topic of my choice, and it will get published in the next edition of CQ.

ANYTHING!

Think of the power. I can write about anything and it will automatically be published and circulated to all the people who read CQ. Due to this power, I decided to do the only responsible and sensible thing I could. I asked Twitter (I will never call it X) to give me the topic of my article.
