What is Masonry?

Freemasonry is a traditional philanthropic, philosophical, and initiatory society founded on fraternity and sisterhood. Its methods provide a pathway to self-improvement and self-discovery through universal symbols. Its symbolism and philosophy teach Freemasons about the true integration of nature and humanity. Understood in this way, Freemasonry represents a universal alliance based on solidarity. Freemasonry does not make any distinction between nationalities, race, religious belief or philosophical view, wealth, or social standing. It promotes the freedom of conscience.

Our women’s Freemasonry is neither political nor dogmatic. It is not a social club.

Who is a Mason?

A Mason embodies the essence of a "free" woman, driven by strong ethical principles and an unwavering commitment to the greater good. She passionately believes in the freedom of conscience and actively strives for the moral and intellectual advancement of humanity. This noble pursuit demands not only a profound commitment but also the qualities of sincerity and humility in the relentless quest for truth. Her dedication to the well-being of her fellow man is a beacon of hope and inspiration, urging us all to aspire to the same ideals and make a positive impact on the world.

Is there a difference between the Masonic Traditions?

Our tradition is non-dogmatic, championing complete freedom of belief that empowers individuals to think for themselves and forge their own paths. This openness fosters innovation, diversity, and a deeper understanding of one another, enriching our community and collective wisdom.

All Masonic Obediences share similar principles. In Freemasonry, the term "rite" refers to different systems of rituals used to confer degrees. While all Masonic lodges confer the three basic degrees (Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason), the rituals used to do so can vary depending on the rite. Two prominent Masonic rites are the Scottish Rite and the York Rite.

What takes place during a Lodge meeting?

Masons are not just builders; they are architects of transformation. To create something magnificent, one must embrace hard work and dedication. In the sacred space of the Temple, Masons come together to construct their inner Temple—a journey that is guided by Ritual and empowered by the use of symbolic tools. Each act of collaboration serves a higher purpose, forging not only physical structures but also sound foundations for personal growth and enlightenment.

Why does Masonry employ symbols?

The symbol serves an esoteric purpose; it is a method that suggests what cannot be communicated through teaching or direct representation. It enables the Mason to incorporate her personal intuition in the pursuit of her secret truth. Therefore, we can view the symbol as an initiatic principle. The aim of symbolism is to connect the human mind to what lies beyond it, to bond the element to the whole and to the universal.

Is Freemasonry considered a sect?

Freemasonry is not a closed sect; instead, it warmly welcomes individuals from all walks of life. A true Mason embraces free thought and acts in accordance with their ideals both inside and outside the organization. It is essential to note that Freemasonry does not apply coercion; rather, it actively fosters a spirit of independence and open dialogue. Freemasons take personal responsibility for their growth and progress, pursuing development without undue pressure. Join us in a community that values freedom of thought and the pursuit of knowledge!

What’s the deal with all the secrecy?

It would be better to say that Masonry calls for “discretion”. Freemasonry offers a profound method—a philosophical approach to personal and collective growth. This personal experience is what makes it a "secret" path for every member. Although you could find plenty of Masonic information on the internet, it will not provide the rich experience of being in the lodge or experiencing the rituals and connections we have in person.
