Freemasonry is an oath bound fraternal order of men which derives from the medieval fraternity of Freemasonry. We adhere to many of the Ancient Charges, laws, customs, and legends of operative Freemasonry. We are loyal to the civilian government under which we exist. We inculcate moral and social virtues by symbolic application of the operative stonemasons' working tools and by allegories, lectures and charges.
Freemasonry obligates its members to obey the principles of brotherly love, equality, mutual aid, secrecy and confidence. We have secret modes of recognition that permit members to recognize each other as brothers. We require a through examination into the mental, moral and physical qualifications of a petitioner and we admit men into the fraternity by secret ceremonies based in part on legends of the Craft.
Once a person has decided to apply for membership he fills out a petition signed by 2 members of the Lodge he desires to join. He gives the petition to one of the members along with the required initiation fee. The petition is read at the next stated meeting when the Worshipful Master will appoint an investigating committee who will interview the petitioner in person. The investigating committee will report back to the Lodge at the following stated meeting when all members present will vote on the petitioner. Once the petitioner is accepted he is given the three degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason. There are certain requirements a candidate must meet before he can proceed from one degree to the next.
One must obtain the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason before being allowed to wear any Masonic jewelry.
One must have a Belief in a Supreme Being.
The tenets of the Masonic Fraternity are " Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. "
The Masonic Fraternity is NOT a secret society but rather a society with secrets like many other fraternal organizations such as the Eagles, Moose, Elks, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, etc.
Suggest if you are a male and of legal age interested in pursuing the Masonic Fraternity you contact a man whom you know to be a Mason for further information and an application. If no local Masonic Lodge is available then you can contact the Grand Lodge of Masons for the State in which you reside. The Grand Lodge Officers will be more than happy to assist you in any way possible. If under legal age please inquire about the Demolay Order.
If you are a Lady the Masonic Fraternity offers the Order of Eastern Star, if over legal age and the Order of Rainbow Girls and Job's Daughters if under legal age.
Please contact a local Masonic Lodge in your State for details regarding qualifications for joining for different jurisdictions MAY have different requirements.
Please contact those members and Lodges directly for correct information as there is a lot of erroneous information being stated by those who know little about the Masonic Fraternity. One needs to go directly to the source for correct information.

Masons! Larissa, no te acercas a ellos! Por favor---no son de Dios! Saludos! Chow!
MARVIN R: THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THE MASONS IS THAT THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE BELIEF IN A SUPREME BEING IS THAT IT BE satan. WHEN MASONS REACH THE 33RD DEGREE THEY ARE TOLD satan IS GOD!
