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

Spirals in the Chairs

This evening I went into the chair of Zerubbabel in Wrexhamian Chapter, ten years after first taking that same chair in my mother Chapter. There is a quiet poetry in that. A full decade turning like a great wheel, and once again I find myself in the same place, but...

Fame at last!

It would appear that word has escaped. A Lodge from a land far, far away (mid Wales), and judging by some of the administrative timelines involved perhaps a long time ago as well, recently contacted the Province of North Wales with a rather intriguing request. Their...

92nd anniversary of the Gresford Disaster

In the early hours of 22 September 1934, the earth shook, the lamps went out, and 266 men and boys were lost in the darkness beneath our feet. Fathers, sons, brothers, friends. Whole families changed in a single night. The pit wheel stopped turning, but the grief...

A Visit to St. Deiniol

This evening brought the meeting of St Deiniol’s Chapter, and what a gathering it turned out to be. The room was full to the brim with thirty eight in attendance, a number that speaks volumes about the quality of their meetings. In a time when many places are still...

Even though everything can go wrong, sometimes it ends up alright.

This evening was the Bishop Wilkins College SRIA meeting. We had a full evening planned, including electing our next Celebrant, a double Grade II° ceremony, and our current Celebrant was going to finally give his paper from going into the chair. What could go wrong?...

Talk: Bishop Wilkins College – Bishop John Wilkins

​This evening I attended Bishop Wilkins College at Christleton. This evening we were low on numbers, due to multiple people being double booked to go visit a craft installation. The worst bit was the Celebrant who was due to give his Celebrants paper pulled out the...

Let Us Have a Chance of Change for a Change?

Today I went up into the hills to do something that actually matters for our collective future. I went to vote in what is undoubtedly the biggest and most important vote in our history as a nation. We are currently standing at a threshold where we have to decide if we...

The Cost of Progress – AKA Forced e-Waste

My poor old Kindle is about to be exiled to the wilds by Amazon, banished like some elderly hermit who has dared to outlive the fashions of the age. No more buying, no more downloading, no more anything. After years of loyal service, the little thing is being marched...

The Met Police May Have a Point

The Met Police May Have a Point

I used to be genuinely disgusted by the Metropolitan Police and their new policy that requires every Freemason to declare their membership. At the time it felt like yet another strange idea born from the old conspiracy theories that cling to the Craft. The claim that...
