Re: How does one go about becoming a freemason? What are the necessary steps one must
Give your geography. Look up your country/state starting with the United Grand Lodge of England to find the recognized grand lodge in your country/state. Go to that grand lodge's web site and find the lodge locator. Find the lodge closest to you. Go there in person. Most lodges list their meeting schedule on the door. Go there about an hour before the meeting, introduce yourself and ask how to become a Mason. Start showing up at that time monthly as they are likely to expect you to come back a few times to get to know you before they give you a petition. Fill it out, submit it and the process from there takes 1-3 month before your first degree is scheduled. Keep showing up in person every month before the meeting to have fellowship - Masonry is all about in person.
