Greetings & Salutations!

Wayne is a polymath who was born at a very early age and, quite impressively, has not died yet-something he considers to be a notable achievement.

He joined Freemasonry in 2006, the Holy Royal Arch in 2007, the S.R.I.A. in 2012, and the Ancient & Accepted Rite in 2013. In 2011, Wayne became the Master of Llannerch Lodge and has spent fourteen of the following fifteen years in one chair or another. His commitment to Masonry is extensive. He was a founding member of the Widows Sons North Wales chapter, served as the Provincial Webmaster for five years, the Assistant Provincial Mentor for five years, and was part of the Membership Pathways Team also for five years. Additionally, Wayne was an active member of the North Wales Association of Masonic Study for eight years,  as both a Speaker and committee member, he has also been giving talks across several provinces since 2017.

Wayne is also a fervent supporter of the Blood Bikes Wales charity, dedicating his time and effort to this vital cause, raising over £50,000 from talks and presentations.

Put simply Wayne is A Blood Biker, A CodeNinja, A Gamer, A Hacker, A Blogger, A Writer & Poet, A Speaker, A Freemason, A Rosicrucian, A Reader, A Spod, A Son, An Uncle, A Brother, A Man, AN INDIVIDUAL!

From the Pen of Wayne Owens

Today is National Book Lovers Day, that curious unofficial holiday designed to encourage bibliophiles to celebrate reading and literature, or perhaps to nudge the non‑readers gently toward the nearest bookshelf. I’ll be honest: this particular holiday has always...

Three Daniel Owen Festival Lectures 2020-2024

St Swithin’s day – 2026

St Swithin has always been one of those saints who feels less like a figure from a dusty manuscript and more like a quiet companion who walks beside us through the British summer. His day arrives every fifteenth of July, slipping into the calendar with a kind of...

BBW – Pub Quiz

This evening a merry little band of us made our way to the Bridge Inn in Llangollen, summoned by the promise of a cheque and the even stronger promise of cold drinks. The pub had raised two hundred and fifty pounds for Blood Bikes Wales through their weekly quizzes,...

Remembering the bloodiest day in the history of the British Army

A day like this asks for stillness. It asks for the kind of quiet that settles over the hills of North Wales when the wind finally pauses and the world seems to hold its breath. Today marks the anniversary of the bloodiest day in the history of the British Army, the...

Heatwaves, Headlines, and Historical Amnesia

All week the news has been DOOMSAYING that we’re living through “record‑breaking weather the likes of which we have never seen before.” Yet this morning a memory popped up on Facebook from eight years ago, Wales sitting at 39°C, and me slowly roasting like a Welsh...

Final Meeting of the Season (Rosicrucian #5)

The Saturday sun was already blazing when I abandoned my precious lie in and pointed the car back toward England. Everything seems sunny at the moment, sunny and far too hot, as though the weather itself has joined some grand cosmic conspiracy. This time the road...

A New Order

The heat hit like a wall the moment I stepped outside, the kind of shimmering, impossible hundred‑degree blaze that makes a man question every life choice that involves wool, lining, and a tie. Yet there I was, stubborn as ever, armouring myself in a suit and setting...

A Visit From the Sovereign Grand Commander (Rosicrucian #2)

A busy Month

A busy Month

I have taken a step back from Freemasonry in North Wales for a simple reason. The rot in the system has become too obvious to ignore. Not the gentle moss that grows on an old stone wall, but the sort of creeping decay that makes you stop, fold your arms, and mutter...

Red or Blue Button

There is a question that is tearing the Internet apart, and no it is not about a dress and is it Black/Blue or White/Gold. It is:- Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone...

High Council 2026

I have returned from the SRIA High Council meeting with my mind humming like a golden hive in midsummer, every cell alive with ideas, symbols, and the soft crackle of revelation. There is something wonderfully absurd about it. Every year I think, surely this is the...

VE Day (2026)

On this VE Day, I pause... as many of us do, to honour a generation who faced down the darkest storm the world had ever seen and still found the strength to rebuild, laugh again, and put the kettle on. It’s easy to romanticise history, to wrap it in sepia tones and...
