What Did The Mysterious Secret Society Of Freemasons Actually Do

When most of us hear the word “freemason” we usually think of a band of brothers that stretches across the world, a fraternity of moneyed men who engage in strange rituals and greet each other with a secret handshake. These people belonging to this mysterious nexus believe in a higher power and together they share secrets and protect each other. And when they meet at the lodge they do so with the doors closed to the world. What happens at the lodge stays at the lodge. The Master leads the ceremonies, and what he says will never become public knowledge. The fact freemasonry is shrouded in so much secrecy does of course elicit us non-freemason to be curious, so today we’ll try to separate the facts from the myth in this animated educational cartoon

Do you believe the theories about the Freemasons? What's the most sinister one you've heard of?

They have a lot of secrets, but I hope they don't know where to find us bigfoots.

My brother is a mason and my sister and I have seen the props they use for their rituals and such. I feel like Freemasons help each other out in whichever path they take. Not very long after him telling me he was around Freemasons he suddenly started getting job offers from many banks and such after never really receiving offers and has been doing extremely well financially compared to before.

My dad was a past Master Mason and never missed a meeting at his lodge. when he was in the hospital dying not one member of his lodge checked on him. Thats one of the many reasons I never thought about joining.

The first rule of The Freemasons: You do not talk about The Freemasons.

A number of my close relatives were Freemasons, and there was a lodge next to my house as a child. My brother just remembers the masons as older men in dark suits who used to drink a LOT of whisky and have a good time. Like that Irish mason in the video said - "it's about dressing up, doing some rituals and having a good old chat"

My dad is a Freemason and I was in Demolay (basically freemasonry for teen guys) and it was very strange. It always felt like we were doing rituals and that I was partaking in something wrong. I eventually distanced myself from the meetings and got myself out of it. Very creepy and eerie vibes. Scary old run down building too.

My uncle was apart of this and after he died I got his cane with a hidden sword in it and it has the hammers on it.

As a Mason I can confirm that it is essentially just a big play that we perform when we enter the Temple. And if we all play our part right it creates a calm environment that gives a break from our daily lives and stimulates self reflection.

I was working for a cateting company here in England a couple of summers ago and we hosted regular, monthly freemason gatherings. I listened in and watched a lot of what they do, and spoke with them a lot whilst tending the bar. They were mostly pretty normal local dudes, some of who I knew. For the most part, they were chanting and singing odd songs, partaking in sort of drinking games, and discussing issues. There was a slight religious theme to it all but I never noticed anything mysterious or anything that equated to a huge conspiracy. Seemed mostly like a drinking and social club for old men.

I’m a Freemason. It is the coolest thing when you walk through an airport and someone gives you a handshake and says “safe travel brother”

When I was around 11 I entered a public speaking contest through my school. This contest was run by the Freemasons and because I was a semi finalist they showed my family and other contestants around their meeting area and told us who goes where and what rules they follow. When asked about what they do they remained very secretive.

[dylanharrison]

As a Freemason I can say that this is accurate. I do feel as though it does not talk about what we actually do for the community.

Master Mason in California here. This is all still true to this day. We are a welcoming society of intelligent and hard working Men, dedicated to the general prosperity of humanity and the specifc moral growth of the men in our company.

They really just worship me in secrecy

"moneyed men"?
I know many Freemasons who are at or below the poverty line. I also know many Freemasons who are wealthy. Most of them I know, are somewhere in between. However, when you see their interactions in a Lodge room, at a meal, or elsewhere, you would not be able to tell where any of them fall on the economic line.

I am a Freemason. Your videos is great. There are 3 orders to the Worlds fraternity. You didn’t mention that in the beginning, but the rest is quite true. I have learnt the art of public speaking and have grown as a man, and have developed a sense of purpose with increased confidence in myself. I enjoy my masonic life.
