LODGE HERMES NO. 20

Motto:

Special work: To study astrology as a means to the understanding of human character and temperament

Location: This lodge meets at Hexagon House, the Headquarters of the British Federation.

Meetings: Eight times a year minimum, on Wednesday evenings.

History: Hermes lodge was founded in 1905 and is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary. Its members have included many eminent astrologers. 

During the 1st World War, Hermes' members continued their work without a break, sharing their labours with Emulation Lodge No. 24. In 1916, memoirs record that 25 personal letters were sent to those at the front, with the exception of one who was a P.O.W.

Hermes has a strong sense of tradition and includes in its workings, traditions unique to the lodge.

Hermes is twinned with an Hellenic lodge of similar name "Ermis o trismegistos" No. 1348 in Athens and strong links are maintained between the lodges.
