Esotericism in Freemasonry 2026
The Esotericism in Freemasonry Conference is a one-day educational gathering held in Seattle at the Ballard Masonic Centre. It brings together Masons who are interested in exploring the deeper, symbolic, and philosophical dimensions of the Craft through a series of engaging, expert-led presentations.
Headlining the event is keynote speaker Lon Milo DuQuette, widely known for his approachable and insightful work on Western esotericism, including his well-known book The Chicken Qabalah. Joining him is Ike Baker, an extremely well-known and accomplished Hermeticist who will be presenting in person.
Together, these speakers offer a rare opportunity to learn from leading voices in modern esoteric thought.
The conference features multiple presentations exploring themes such as symbolism, Hermetic philosophy, and the inner workings of Masonic tradition.
