    Hello Lee and welcome to the world of Freemasonry. I would urge you to caution when it comes to your zeal for learning as unguided learning can be very dangerous especially when utilising the double edged sword that is the Internet. You should turn to your Proposer and seconder and the Lodge...

    Aleister Crowley

    He was never a member of a Lodge under the United Grand Lodge of England BUT claimed to be a member of totally irregular bodies. More info here: http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/aqc/crowley.html

    The Hiram Key

    My review of the book: The Hiram Key, by Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas, ISBN 0 7126 8579 0 published 1996, 384 inc. Index & Appendices. Cost £can’t remember. Both of the authors were Freemasons although they don’t mention their lodges, it was funny reading this book again as it reminded me...

    Hi David, I have copied the list directly from my own copy of the UGLE Masonic Yearbook 2013/14, this book is published by the UGLE each year and so I can confidently tell you that the list I have supplied identifies the foreign Grand Lodges that the UGLE recognises in Brazil. If you feel...

    Hi David, I am a member of a Lodge under the United Grand Lodge of England and other than our own District Grand Lodge in Brazil we recognise several others but the one you listed above is not on the list published in our Year Book. The list is: The Grand Orient of Brazil, the Grand Lodge of...

    Just like his first glimpse of the "Light" (VSL) in the First Degree.

    1717-2017

    Sorry for being so finicky but: Well what actually happened in 1717 was the beginning of a quantum shift away from a system that was mainly for Operative Masons and accepted the odd non operative member which had nearly died out to a system of Fraternity with heavy philosophical overtones. Had...

    Women Freemason Speech

    Just to clarify the first GM of the Order of Women Freemasons was actually a man, his full name being William Frederick Cobb, the first lady GM succeded him in 1912 and she was Marion Halsey. The Order was the result of a split away from the already establish Co-Masons (Le Droit Humaine)...

    Concordant Recognition

    The thing to understand about coming to England is that the Appendant Bodies are quite separate and disticnt from Craft (note that we do not use the term "blue") Lodges. To visit a Lodge here you need to carry convincing proofs of your status as a Master Mason (usually supplied on application...

    Weird orders & rituals under Freemasonry?

    There is a reason that the very specific term "Appendant" (tr. hanging from) is used to describe these Orders, bodies etc and that is they have all taken something from Freemasonry and used it to become their own entity, sadly today many don't realise this. They are not a part of Freemasonry but...

    Freemasonry membership for Pakistani people

    Hi Shamil, I am afraid that the answer you have received from my Grand Lodge is the only correct one from a Masonic point of view. Your government, through a misunderstanding of what Freemasonry is, banned the pastime and others of western origin (ie Round Table, Lions, etc) in 1972 and so...
