estoric masons?

Question

Answer 1

You may be referring to American Co-Masonry, which is often referred to on here by a user NeoArt as a more esoteric form of Freemasonry.

Esoteric means that what is known is only shared with a select group, or the initiates of the organization. Since I am a member of regular Freemasonry (the Freemasonry of Paul Revere, Ben Franklin, and even Gerald Ford), I cannot speak to what mysteries they have that allow them to be considered more "esoteric" than regular Freemasons, but I would definitely begin your search with researching American Co-Masonry, a group of Masons originating from the Grand Lodge of France, as opposed to the Grand Lodge of England, where regular American Freemasonry is chartered from. Another difference is that Co-Masons admit women and refer to them as "brothers".

The only Co-Mason I am aware of is someone on yahoo answers called NeoArt. He is very helpful and informative on all questions about Co-Masonry, or "esoteric" Freemasonry as he calls it. Your best bet would be to contact him or look up other answers that he has posted on here.

Answer 2

Do you mean 'historic' or 'esoteric?' It's hard to answer a question with that kind of spelling.

Historic Masons would be people who were Masons and also important in history - for example Benjamin Franklin (who based some of the Great Seal on Masonic symbols) and George Washington (who laid the cornerstone of the Capitol using a Masonic ritual).

Esoteric Masons are - well, all of them, in a sense. 'Esoteric' means those things which are only known to a select group, and only revealed to them in a particular way and/or under certain circumstances. The antonym is 'exoteric' which means open and known to everyone. Every stage of promotion within the Masons (and many other groups) involves a secret ritual in which esoteric knowledge is given to members who have done the work (and usually paid a fee) to earn access to it.

Try researching Hermes Trisgomestes. There are answers to be found there about human knowledge and the evolution of the ruling class.
