Hi KSigMason,
I see you like quoting Albert Pike.
To have a lodge bearing his name is a honour for masons, therefore i would direct you to link Albert Pike Lodge No 117 based in Denver, Colorado, link below:-
Albert Pike Lodge No 117 - Denver Colorado
Charter granted on 16th September 1903, many masons are involved in Hermetic Philosophy, and mark dates by midnight, sunrise or sunset, inregards to a charter, this is ancient Egyptian Philosophy, So Alnilam rising at midnight at location marks the day to Osiris, the Egyptians thought of the Belt of Orion as Osiris, and Alnilam is the centre star of the Belt of Orion.
