I’ve been a Mason for 20 years, Past Master, 32°, Scottish Rite & York Rite. I don’t have any juicy secrets (like “33° Masons control the price of Ovaltine”), and I’m of the view that we’re / they’re mostly harmless. That said, I’m disillusioned. The Brotherhood is broken and not fulfilling what they promise to their craftsmen, which is to make good men better. It’s become one big LARP that sucks free time and money from its members and gives nothing back to the Brothers, their families, communities, or the world.
They broke their oath, I’ll break mine. Ask me anything. Or nothing.
Any craziness in the 32nd degree?
Are the stories of the 33rd even remotely true?
Do you think claims of Satan worship are true or disinfo, and would you tell us the truth either way?
32nd. No, just a nice catered meal beforehand. I don’t even remember the actual degree (Scottish Rite is weird, degrees 4-32 are all just short plays you watch, they all kinda blur together.)
33rd: who knows. It’s an honorarium degree given by other 33rds. I’ve never seen anything about it other than that. My personal feeling: that’s where the Jesuits got their hooks in. In order to be invited you need to pretty much devote your free time to Masonry, to the point where you get noticed by them, and they know you better than you know them. They could be completely benign, or could be trans-species lizard cock people for all I know.
As for Satan.. nothing I’ve seen in the 32 degrees, but again... who knows with 33rds.
Buddhist.
