six reasons to join freemasonry

You may have a family member who is already a freemason; please go ask questions you may be surprised about the answers they will provide! Being a freemason can form a small or even big part of your life and it is reasonable to expect them to encourage you. This is not unusual; we often see families connecting or even reuniting.

Freemasonry has an 'aura', especially the 'secrecy'bit, i.e. the hidden symbolism, such as fictional tales like Dan Brown's 'Angels and Demons' and several films like 'The Da Vinci Code'. Being curious is one thing, but beware, an awful lot of mythology is, at best, misleading and at worst, downright lies. You can clearly obtain information 'on-line, however it is recommended that you do not research too much, if at all, prior to joining as some of the 'aura' remains, even once you become a freemason until eventually most (if not all) the picture is revealed. You can spent years identifying and revealing the history and mysteries of freemasonry.

First, freemasonry is a social organisation; it brings together varying (if not all) faiths, ages (min age is 18 - no max age), interests, backgrounds and skills which gives them all a common bond. Being a freemason will broaden your social experience, making new friends and acquaintances, because it can provide a common shared experience.

As a freemason you will commence another journey in life, allowing you to develop new skills which often provides you benefits in your day-to-day life. Should you wish, you will be provided with the oppertunity to learn some 'ritual' and thus deliver public speaking in small or even large groups (should you wish).
