I hatched from an egg!

Back in 2023 I got to know the Turtles and became one myself.

The story of our pond: yearly we (about 30 masons) join an International Field Lodge "Les Loges", named after the estate w/ castle "Les Loges" in France where this IFL-field loge was founded on back in 2008, meeting every year in France, The Netherlands, Germany or the UK. At the edition of "Les Loges" in 2025 in Germany, after ritual and festive board, I initiated some fellow Turtles and started our own Dutch Turtle Pond "La Mare des Loges" (meaning "the mud pond of/near Les Loges" to hint back at our own origins). Since then we meet (on the shell), have an official Temple or Table Ritual and initiated a further 5 members. But also out of our own pond, we've met Turtles from other ponds and other countries, we're everywhere and that's true for Europe as well.
