What do freemasons believe in

by Christopher
(Brooklyn,ny)

I'm under the age of 18 want to know where can I go in order to inform myself more about Freemasonry. If I check on the Internet only there a lot of conspiracies that are put out there, but they are made up for lack of knowledge about the brotherhood. I wouldn't want to confuse myself.

educate yourself
by: Anonymous

why would you want to join something that is shroud in secrecy and you really have no idea what you are joining. Don't be like sheep easily led. I have researched a little bit about this alot of there symbols are derived from satanic symbols.

A "little bit" of Masonic research?
by: Tim

I think the key prase in your post is that you have researched a "little bit" about Freemasonry. Doing a little bit of research and assuming you have knowledge on a subject is like reading one page of a book and thinking you know the whole story.

Our symbols have nothing whatsoever to do with satan or satanism. Symbols in Freemasonry are used as reminders of the lessons taught in Freemasonry. Those lessons are brotherly love for all mankind, relief for those less fortunate or in times of distress, truth above all, faith in God, hope for the future, and charity in all its senses.

Don't waste your time reading conspiracy theories or watching sensationalized television docudramas written or produced for the sole purpose of profit or attention. If you want to know about Freemasonry read what is written by Freemasons, and then trust your heart and your soul to know what is true. If you don't like what you learn from actual Freemasons then at least you will have done true research and not allowed your head to be filled with fiction by those with no real knowledge themselves.

Freemasons For Dummies by Christopher Hodapp is an excellent introduction to the history and teachings of Freemasonry.

The Craft and Its Symbols by Allen Roberts is considered by many to be the primer for Masonic education. In some Lodges it is presented to the newly made Master Mason as a useful study guide.

Freemasonry: Symbols, Secrets, Significance by Kirk MacNulty has been called "the most complete overview of the brotherhood of Masonry." It's a great book for insight into Masonic symbols and mysteries.

You may be able to find some of these at your local library or through a lending library, and of course Amazon or B&N is always an option. Whatever you do, please don't simply take the word of someone else for what Freemasonry is. Study it yourself, and you decide.

I only know that I know nothing NEW

Learn about the dark, don't be ignorant and only take in the good, after all who can say what is goo or bad, wrong or right. It just is. Studying the divine will help.
