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.
I’m not selling anything. If anything I was hoping someone would ask the secret words or handshakes.
EA degree: BOAZ, both men with thumb on each other’s first knuckle. (The subsequent degrees are more complicated.)
I could be deceiving you and everyone though. That could be a sign to a true Mason that it’s an impostor. I guess none of us can trust each other. Ultimately it doesn’t matter I guess.
