Astounding Words

Numerous misconceptions surround the Free Mason society - frequently pejorative inferring of an old boy network, or yet greater evil suggestions. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth. As a fraternity, Freemasonry proffers a chance for men to get together and enjoy affable companionship. Self improvement is a central facet of freemasonry. Freemasonry furthers helping other people as well, and charity is a palpable method in which Masons aid those.

One of Freemasonry’s traditions is not to actively seek out new members. Nonetheless, any person ought to feel free to chat with any current member to acquire further details regarding the Craft.

To be a member, you have to be male, 18 years of age or older, and you have to meet the standards of reputation, should be thought of as having strong moral character.

Anyone who wants to join a lodge must be advocated by 3 members of the lodge he wishes to join. He must realise that his character will be enquired about. Following approval by the fellow members of that lodge, he will be admitted as a candidate for membership in the Free Mason society.

Members often assume items like football pin badges so as to subtly identify their member status to other members and also communicate the lodge they are a member of.
