[edit] Good start

May I suggest including a picture of a typical tracing board to show what is talked about? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueboar (talkcontribs) 15:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inline citations are needed

As the article grows, we need to start citing specific statements and facts to specific authors. Blueboar 01:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Frieda Harris a Co-Mason?

In the article, it is claimed that "However, Co-Mason Lady Frieda Harris". Though the tracing boards she painted certainly suggests that she was indeed either a Co-Mason or a member of a women's only Masonic Order, I have yet to see any evidence of the same. She appears to have been initiated into Crowley's A.A. and, in a letter following Crowley's death, surmising that she was a member of (Crowley's version of) the O.T.O., there seems to be a lack of evidence as to her Co-Masonic status.

In the link Wikipedia entry to Frieda Harris, by the way, there is a further claim that Co-Freemasonry was created by members of the Theosophical Society, a clear error in Masonic history.

Noted and corrected. If anyone does come up with confirmation that she was a co-Mason, they can add it back with citation. Blueboar (talk) 12:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
