Hi I am a Freemason. Ask me a question!
Well I have been seeing all these "Hi I am a..." posts and I thought I would see if anyone would be interested in asking a few questions.

I am a member of Masonic Lodge #606 here in Riverside, CA. I have been a Freemason for the last 7 years and growing up I was a member of DeMolay. As you may know Freemasons don't proselytize, however, men of good character are always welcome in Freemasonry and any man who is at least 18 years old and believes in God may join our fraternity.

At any rate, I am sure there are other fellow freemason's visiting the site. I will try to answer any appropriate questions to the best of my ability.

Cheers!

Re: Hi I am a Freemason. Ask me a question!
I have heard a lot about Freemasons but can't really think of any major conspiracy they are involved in. Weird - Totally know the buzz word but can't think of what they are involved in.

Until I can come up with a better question, answer me this.

Is there a secret handshake?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 617883



Thats a good question and one that I have read a little about.

Freemasonry existed during a period in the 1700s where "secret societies" came into fashion in Europe. There were quite a few different societies and fraternal orders of which the Illuminati was one. Other than having existed and been in fashion during the same time, they are not related.

Freemason's don't identify as being part of that group. I don't actually know if any group does, but if they do, they certainly are living up to the "secret" part of a "secret society"

Cheers!

Re: Hi I am a Freemason. Ask me a question!
The freemasons practise magic, that is why they where robes, robes are always used in magic, and when use in magic become magical themselves.

NEVER TRUST A FREEMASON, NEVER EVER. They do not represent themselves or free people, they are bound as slaves to the masonic movement.

A freemason is as free, as the Federal Reserve is Federal.

Freemason's don't perform magic.

We do have rituals that are of symbolic importance and they draw on various historical periods. It can be very dramatic but there is no religious significance.

I don't know how many times I have worn a robe. Too many to count.

Also whats with this chapter on magic in the Freemason Encyclopedia? Is that a hexagram, pentagram, and magic square? They don't do magic? Why is this in the book? Let me guess it is a forgery.

Then you are a diss info agent or a fool, you have no value or worth to anyone except those who use you in there magic.

The only reason to where robes is to perform magic, there is no other reason to wear special cloths, unless you are performing special activivites.

Tell the grand master of your lodge that a crazy person who claims that freemasons perform magic, ask him if it is true, and before you do, do not break eye contact with him, he will tell you the truth, or you will watch him lie.

I know this, because I practise magic, and I wear special robes, and I perform the same ceremonies that you do, only, I, never, took, an oath.

The artwork has multiple masonic symbols in them. The circle point, square, compass, level, eye, sun and moon, the pillars, and geometric black and white checkerboard floor all have meaning. I won't go into all the details as they are very allegorical in nature but would encourage anyone interested to look up the terms I gave above for some more info or go to your local lodge.

I don't know why the encyclopedia is listed in the occult section.. My guess is that it would give the item a little more gravitas than just "Masonic Encyclopedia".

Read very carefully my wyrd, good sir.

It could be we are on the same side...as it were...differing by degree.
