I Am Now a Freemason

I was initiated into a Masonic lodge under the United Grand Lodge of England last Thursday. It was an exciting and unique experience which I will never forget. I am still processing it all and trying to understand the ceremony I went through. I am told I will probably need to see it performed several times and study it deeply to properly understand it. All I can say is that it was amazing and that I have never experienced anything quite like it before.

Can you describe the ceremony

@SW-User I don't think I should. Not all of it would be necessarily secret but describing it (or the parts of it I would be able to describe) might spoil it for anyone who may one day be initiated. Azlotto for example, who is currently a lewis (son of a Freemason).

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout is that Pope at the end of the table 🤔🤔🤔 I can’t tell

@MrSimons If someone really wants to do something no one or nothing can spoil it for them or stop them. So, don’t worry about that. But for some reason all other ceremonies are open, only mason and satanists are all closed and —>🤫

I knew you wouldn’t. All masons come up with all kinds of excuses 🤫

@SW-User Describing the Initiation ceremony would be akin to giving spoilers for a book someone has not yet read or a movie someone has not yet watched. There would be no surprises and the experience would be diminished as a result. That's really why I don't want to go into too much detail about the ceremony in general. It's also why I don't want to be told anything about the Fellowcraft and Master Mason degree ceremonies before I am passed and raised.

Of course, the modes of recognition (the password, grip and sign of each degree) are never to be disclosed to anyone who is not a Mason (and I don't yet know the ones for the Fellowcraft or Master Mason degrees). I have sworn a solemn oath never to reveal them and if I were to do so, it would mean I am not a trustworthy or honourable person.

However, I intend to be very open about my membership and will answer any question I am allowed (and able) to answer.
