How can i join freemasonry?

Question

*DEUS MEUMQUE JUS*

Answer 1

Masons do not solicit for members.

If you are seeking Membership YOU MUST ASK a Mason or a Masonic Lodge for an application.

You must be a man at least 21 (18 in some jurisdictions).

You must be of good moral character

You must have a personal belief in a Supreme Being (the definition of a Supreme Being is up to you)

You must be a Resident of your state for 12 months

You must decide to become a Mason of "your own free will and accord"

You will need to express your personal interest in joining the Fraternity.

You must be loyal to your country.

You must be dedicated to providing for your own family

You must have a sincere determination to conduct yourself in a manner that will earn the respect and trust of others and possess a desire to help others through community service and universal benevolence.

You must sign a Petition, stating your age, occupation and place of residence.

There are NO religious, political or racial restrictions for Masonic membership other than the aforementioned belief in a Supreme Being. Any discussion of religion or politics is strictly forbidden in a Masonic Lodge.

Members of the Lodge vote by secret ballot. To be accepted, the ballot must be unanimous.

It varies state to state, but this is essentially how it happens.

Answer 2

You have to be 18 in some cities (esp. Boston), or 21 in most and all you really have to do is inquire at the local lodge. You can call your state's grand lodge and ask for information. They're really trying to attract younger members these days. The basic requirements are that you believe in some form of higher power (eg God) and that you are a decent citizen.

This answer applies only to the US - I don't know about other countries.

Answer 3

It's like any other cult, just a simple blood ritual followed by oddly homoerotic ceremony.
