Although the Golden Years of Masonic Blogs was about 2005 to 2010, there are still many blogs by Freemasons that actively updated. Ashlars to Ashes will try to feature as many as possible. The blogs listed are sorted by the most recently updated, with a little snippet from the post. Links on the sidebar are for further reading, and will feature websites, podcasts, web boards, and other items of Masonic interest.
If you have a suggestion, or would like your blog featured on Ashlars to Ashes, please leave a comment with the blog address and a way to contact you so we can check it out.

I definitely agree that the golden years was between 2005 - 2010. I remember the blogs such as Masonic Podcast Central, The Burning Taper, etc. I think that the purpose of this aggregate blog is awesome and will certainly come back for references. Continue to keep the mind attuned to a positive frequency and, in the meantime, I would like to submit a blog for consideration: www.VedasofSophia.com
