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

Heatwaves, Headlines, and Historical Amnesia

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...

Talk: Clwyd College – A Quest for the Holy Grail

​This evening I attended Clwyd College at Mostyn, for my fourth Rosicrucian event this month. It was our Installation meeting, which went exceptionally well considering the College Secretary had quit all things Masonic so there was a few organised in a rush. This...

Installation and the Holy Grail… Maybe (Rosicrucian #4)

This evening carried that familiar blend of quiet anticipation and gentle chaos that seems to follow me around the Rosicrucian world. I made my way to Clwyd College at Mostyn for what turned out to be my fourth Rosicrucian gathering this month, a detail that suggests...

Government Heat Warning

As I swelter under this oppressive never seen before heat, I find myself glaring upward at the strange and mysterious ball of fire that has taken up residence in our clear cloud free skies. Thirty seven degrees tomorrow. Thirty seven. I live in Wales for goodness...

Happy Summer Solstice, friends.

Today we celebrate the Longest Day, the Brightest Fire, the Oldest Magic.   Today the sun reaches its proudest height, pausing at the crown of the sky like a golden king surveying his realm. That moment, the solstice, from the Latin solstitium, “the sun stands still”...

The Gay Test
