After I get raised I'm going to look into going into the York Rite. I've heard they have beautiful degrees!
Certainly do!After I get raised I'm going to look into going into the York Rite. I've heard they have beautiful degrees!
Respectfully there's a trend in Masonry called, "Microwave Masonry Mania". It's taken the place of slow & steady progression through the Masonic degrees and enjoying the Blue Lodge.After I get raised I'm going to look into going into the York Rite. I've heard they have beautiful degrees!
Agreed, Blue Lodge should always come first.Apparently these men used their Blue Lodge simply as a gateway to the appendant bodies of Masonry.
Don't become a Microwaved Master Mason.
I agree with you 100%. Just looking to improve my knowledge of Masonry.Respectfully there's a trend in Masonry called, "Microwave Masonry Mania". It's taken the place of slow & steady progression through the Masonic degrees and enjoying the Blue Lodge.
There are cautionary stories to be told about men who jumped onto the Microwave Masonry Mania wagon. Apparently these men used their Blue Lodge simply as a gateway to the appendant bodies of Masonry.

Is it an option to just stay as a MM at the blue lodge?
If one does not want to further their studies of freemasonry in other bodies is there more depth and learning in side the nlue lodge for those first three degrees?
Again I'm sorry if my broken english.

Absolutely!There is no requirement to join appendant or concordant bodies and occasionally you find someone who hasn't...

I know what you mean. Some Brothers join the Blue Lodge simply as a means to join an appendant body.It's almost like Blue Lodges are treated like rushed marriages. There's a brief courting, a wedding and very short honeymoon before we start to look beyond them towards the so-called higher bodies.
