Despite its name it isn't even Scottish actually having originated in France in the early 1800s

Is it not because each Grand Lodge is actually named a "Prince Hall Grand Lodge" and Prince Hall was the first Grand Master hence there is a MW in front of his name.

The Grand Orient of France has not been recognised as practising regular Freemasonry by the UGLE since 1877. That was the year when it allowed membership of Atheists in its Lodges and began to really get involved in both political and religious interests in France. A couple of years ago it...

Hi Jason, I can't help you specifically (being in England etc) but I would give you the same advice that I would give any Mason, anywhere, looking to contact a foreign Lodge and that is that you should initially approach the Grand Lodge rather than individual Lodges. I would have thought that...

You have already supplied the answer to your own question. The skull and crossbones is not a specifically Masonic symbol and we use the normal meaning of the "memento mori" as a reminder of the inevitability of death.

It sounds as if someone is taking a "ritualistic exchange" literally. I think you'll be familiar with this: WM: In this country Freemasons’ Lodges are usually held in the evening; how do you account for that which at first view appears a paradox? Candidate: The earth constantly revolving on its...

If you promise to not tell people the "secrets" and then you do, Freemasonry won't do anything at all. The "secrets" are already out there on the Internet but you will have shown that you (personally) have no honour or integrity, that you are totally untrustworthy and that your "word" is...

Once again and just to ensure accuracy, the first Grand Lodge of Canada formed in 1855, was originally the Provincial Grand Lodge of Upper Canada formed by the Premier Grand Lodge of England in 1792. From your own website...

Welcome Henry.

Hi there

So it would seem that you need to address the question to your own Grand Lodge as it has its own rules.

Here in England we don't have the Shrine and Appendant bodies are kept at arms length from Freemasonry so we are not likely to have a situation as occurred in your State. However, having read the detailed information supplied on the summation linked below the Grand Lodge acted fairly and within...

Most of what you find on the Internet regarding the Illuminati is total rubbish. The reality is that genuine interest in the Illuminati had finished by the beginning of the 1800s. If you read the sites you find, carefully, you will see that most of their genuine information is based on books...

Hi there, you appear to be reading from mixed sources and you should not try to mix them together. There is no link between the short-lived Illuminati and Freemasonry other than a couple of its members were also Freemasons. Rather than me re-write what far cleverer people have already done let...

This is why it is accurately described as an "Appendant Order" not a "Masonic Order". It's content is not particularly Masonic but it tries to draw parallels between a long extinct Order of monastic warriors and Freemasons. Its Masonic element is because only Masons can join it. There are...

Welcome to the Forum. Your question seems quite inappropriate masonically speaking.
