Prior to this had a distant relative introduce me who was a past master. They located a lodge that they thought would be a good fit.
However I was a little taken back. The Master of the lodge was extremely nice to there.
Everyone was caring and nice except for a couple people. The officer sat me down and told me the entry was very strict at the lodge and also a couple of people there didn't bat an eye at me. Everyone else was nice and open.
I did notice an age gap and the younger masons were the cooks? Only 2-3 younger masons there around my age. Early 30s to 20s.
Huge on the Masonic History. I figured it would be more towards the belief of being a goodman or maybe I was mistaken. Could be just the lodge from what I've read. What puzzled me is I thought lodges were accepting of new members so they could keep it going. Maybe it was my vibe but I'm not sure. It seemed like they weren't into new recruits. One said "This guy wants to be a mason and thinks maybe we'll let him in". Probably a jab but of course I'm new. The whole scene is new.
