Initiation

I'm new on here and wanted to check out the site and so far I like it. In 3 weeks I'll be going through my 1st degree and I have haven't been this excited and anxious in a long time! The process was long and I'm honestly an impatient person when it comes to getting something that I've wanted for YEARS!! Well it's finally here and can't to be a part of this mysterious fraternity! I have lots of friends and co workers who are masons. Makes the waiting process worse when they tell me how much I will enjoy it .

Patience is one of the first lessons we teach. The long slow process of petitioning is part of that lesson. Very much not easy.

Keep us abreast!

Yeah the total process around 6 months. I called the secretary a few weeks ago and he asked me if I went through my initiation yet and I told him I didn't so I was a little upset but more confused. A week later I received my letter and I felt a little bad because I felt like I was a bother because I would call him periodically to see how the process was going.

Congrats and I always tell guys embarking on their journey the same thing - joining Freemasonry was one of the best decisions I've made :)

Relax, listen and remember, you need to give it a chance and expect that it will take some time before it all comes into focus.

Cheers

Patience brother :D All your questions shall be answered.. I was initiated a few months ago, and passed to the second degree a week back. And it answered a lot of questions I had. So patience ;)
As my mentor told me on the night of my initiation, just experience it all, keeping all my questions to myself till I am raised. Once I am raised, he will answer all my questions, no matter how small or large. And after Passing I understood why he said so. Many of my questions were answered by myself through contemplating on my experiences. So rather than gain knowledge, I gained wisdom (albeit in small quantities :D )
