Ok. I've always heard that masons aren't racist or sexist. and they even worship some Goddesses becasue they believe that female is equal to male, at least thats what I heard. So why can't a women become a mason then? Not that I want to.

Be careful delving into the Masons. Truth is...you'll never know the truth. Members don't even tell their closest relatives the truth. I have researched the Masons....and it is a religion.
I have good friend whose father was a Mason. He was able to "get out" in his elderly years. My friend is kind of a fanatical Christian began asking her dad questions. He would not answer a one of them....he kept their secrets to his death bed. I come from a small town full of them....you really gotta be careful what you say, you never know who is married to a Mason, the kid os a Mason, or a Mason!
Oh, Christianity has nothing to do with Masons either...not even close!

I've never heard of the goddess worship. I know numerous Masons/Prince Hall Masons and the foundation is Christianity. Women can become Eastern Stars. All the Masons and Eastern Stars I know are still Christians and in traditional Christian churches, both Roman Catholic and Protestant.

I dont have any Idea where you heard Masons worship goddesses but that is wrong! I guess youve been reading that co-masonry stuff. Masons below the mason dixon line tend to be very racist - not that its condoned but its a fact. As far as our women, part of a Freemasons initial oath is that female masons are not allowed. They have a separate group called the Eastern Star that is sanctioned by Grand Lodges. Co-Masonry is an off shoot steming from France and is only sanctioned there.

the concept is going that there are diverse levels of Masonry. The so frequently encountered "thirty second" degree Mason is often in basic terms an typical guy who belongs to a fraternity of varieties. not something sinister about that or perhaps the conspiracy buffs will concede that. The "evil" Mason stress of theory is accessible in with the affiliation with the Templars and the perception that the unique Masons were the Templars in cover. The Templars being shrouded of their own conspiracy theories that variety in each single position you will see that the position those thoughts take root. you won't be able to have "illuminati" devoid of international bankers and the Templars were the first international bankers between different issues.

Although women can't join the Masons they do have Eastern Stars which is for women. I was in Rainbow Girls when I was in high school, it is for girls and when you age out you can become an Eastern Star. They also have an organization for boys, but I can't remember the name of it.
I don't know about the others but Rainbow Girls did focus on Christianity and doing work for charities.

A mason cannot worship goddessess, they only believe in a single Diety. You are correct that masons believe all people are equal and I am sure would not be suprised to know that many founding patriots of our nation were masons or members of the Eastern Star (women's auxiliary of masonry).

Women can and do join Masonry - and I DO NOT mean Eastern Star or Job's Daughters - in Co-Masonry.
Co-Masonry has existed since the 1800s and came to America in the early part of the 1900s. Women are admitted to all rites, lights, and privileges. They hold office, do degree work, and can become any rank to which a man may aspire. All races have always been admitted, as well.
Though some masculine rite Freemasons consider us "irregular" or "spurious" because we admit women, we work the degrees in ways older than the American Lodges. Most masculine rite Masons would understand our ritual. We are esoteric and put a great deal of work into understanding and practicing the virtues exemplified by The Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Progress is slower, but more sure.
If I can be of any help, feel free to write to me. Or you might wish to read more at the link below.

I think that a woman is an Eastern Star which is part of the Masons, but separate as well. God Bless!!

You confuse Masonic legacy with Mason's in todays patriarchial society.....those fools changed the rules......in the past, women were regularly part of Freemason Temples.
