FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS FREEMASONRY
Freemasonry is often described as "a peculiar system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols." In simple terms, this means it's a unique way of helping men become better human beings, using storytelling and meaningful symbols to teach important life lessons.The ceremonies in Freemasonry are written in old English, but don't let the words of time immemorial throw you off. Think of them as just the tip of the iceberg. What you see or hear during these ceremonies opens the door to deeper teachings that you can apply in all areas of life, whether it's with your family, at work, or in social settings.
WILL I BECOME RICH, GET A JOB OR GAIN BUSINESS
No, Freemasonry is not a platform for gaining wealth or making business connections. While you may naturally form friendships and network with other members, the primary purpose of Freemasonry is personal growth, moral development, and community service.The Craft aims to foster universal brotherhood, ethical understanding, and shared moral values. It is not a business networking group or a pathway to financial success.
HOW DO I BECOME A MASON
After deciding to become a Freemason and meeting the membership criteria, you'll submit an enquiry. You'll be connected with a District Inspector who introduces you to suitable lodges. If both you and a lodge agree it's a good fit, you'll complete an application and undergo a police check. Following a successful interview with the District Inspector and Lodge Membership Committee, the lodge members will vote on your application. If accepted, you'll be initiated and your lifelong Freemasonry journey will begin.WHAT ABOUT RELIGION & BELIEF IN A SUPREME BEING?
Freemasonry requires a belief in a Supreme Being for membership but is not a religion or a substitute for one. This non-denominational requirement welcomes men from all religious backgrounds, even those without a specific religious affiliation. Freemasonry aims to unite men through universal brotherhood and shared values rather than endorsing any particular religious doctrine. The belief in a Supreme Being provides a shared moral framework among members while allowing for individual interpretation.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A MASON
Freemasonry is a life long commitment. Once you become a Mason, you will always be one, so its best not to rush the process.
