Does anyone have opinions on Freemasons?

My grandfather was one and I’m interested to know why

Power hungry assholes

they can give you answers and "enlightenment", but they own your soul if you join.

>they own your soul if you join

How does that work?

Secret club that masquerades as a good old boys fraternity and donates to charities.

Deeper in though, they use Kaballah magick and make you swear allegiance to satan. They make you swear an oath which says that if you ever reveal their secrets then you will accept the consequences of being disemboweled.

They say this is only symbolic or allegorical now even though that is exactly what they did to traitors in the past and it is what they will do to anyone they catch trying to expose their secrets. There are a few things about the Masons I can tell you, but since I'm not a mason myself I can't give you everything.

Yeah please elaborate, I’m wondering if it’s worth the trade off

Let’s hear it all

larping shit aside, the group is as good as the locals in it
if you're looking for power you won't get it working your way up, you'd need to join through Harvard/Yale to get the EZ-Pass

You can find a lot of the old mystery school teachings independently, but if you can’t find more or seek more. Ask one.


I haven’t. Unfortunately I am not material worthy of the brotherhood. Hence find your own home and keep the teachings and the idea alive.

Think it would help my status if they knew someone from my bloodline was in on it?

Nice, checked.

Freemasons are firstly associated with the O.T.O who's most famous member was Aleistar Crowley so that by itself should give you a massive fucking red flag if you've been paying attention to conspiracy shit for the last 15 years like I have.

But regardless, let's talk about what the masons actually make you give.

The first degree of the freemasons is called the Entered Apprentice. You swear an oath on the Bible if you are a Christian, but it doesn't matter what religion you are. if you are a Muslim you'll swear on the Quran and if you're a Mormon you'll swear on the book of mormon.

This is called the Duegard of an entered apprentice, you will swear to keep the oaths no matter what on pain of death. The purpose of this is to make you compromise your own religion because freemasonry at the very surface level promotes universalism. The idea that you can stay a Christian, Muslim, or whatever the fuck you are as long as you worship "God" or as they refer to him, the "Architect of the universe"

You will then make the SIGN of an entered apprentice. This alludes to the penalty that you suffer if you give away the secrets.

You then say "having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours, should I ever knowingly violate this my Entered Apprentice obligation."


After this they'll teach you the handshakes, these are among some of the things that you are not to reveal to others. But to be honest with you, it's not really about the handshakes.

Should I continue?

"Bob"?

I had a motorcycle gang freemason (???) as a co-worker a number of years ago, he seemed like an ordinary older guy in an office job. After he retired he still came by the workplace sometimes because he was depressed and lonely. Everyone liked him, he was a solid guy.

Idk anything about freemasons besides the crazy conspiracy shit schizos here post, which I'm pretty sure he has no part in. I think it's mostly like a college frat but for older guys and without the homosexual hazing rituals.

Definitely.
Again, be honest with yourself and why you want to join. There's plenty of books out there that decrypt the 'mysteries' of Freemasonry if you get interested in the lore.
Remember: the real magic is convincing people that there is magic.
>t. 3rd degree that moved to another state and never re-upped

My uncle is a Mason (I don't know what degree) red pill me on the rings, he wears one all the time

The world's oldest labor union.

Created many of the unions we know today.

a Church of the Subgenius reference, i'm guessing

Fuck yes more please

I don't know because as I said I am not a mason. I just know some of their rituals and secrets. Is he with the blue lodge?

We when you want to join the club but you are not really one of the tribe.... You're a freemason

Attached: download (29).jpg (320x109, 14.56K)

I'm not sure I just know he's a mason and wears that ring with the G in the protractor ruler symbol

The first thing they will teach is the grip of the entered apprentice, you press the thumb against the top of the first knuckle joint of the fellow mason. He will press his thumb against your knuckle.

This is called the boaz grip. It will be taught by the "Worshipful Master"

Worshipful Masters are basically the equivilent of a McDonalds Manager for freemason lodges. They are in charge of the local lodge.

You'll go through some lines like

"I now reveal to you the grip of an entered apprentice, it has a name."

Then he spells the name starting with

A
B
O
Z

He'll say "Boaz my brother, is the name of this grip.


AFTER this, the second degree of the blue lodge is called the fellow craft.

To become a fellowcraft you will put your right hand on the bible/quran/whatever, and the left arm forming an angle supported by the square and hand in a vertical position.

Square and compass symbolism basically.

You then make the sign of a fellowcraft with the right hand on the left breast, you draw it quickly across your body and you say "having my left breast torn open, my heart plucked out, and given to the wild beasts of the field and the fowl of the air"

After this, you would be taught the "pass grip of a fellow craft" which is called the shibboleth handshake.

The McDonalds manager of the lodge will tell you "I now present my right hand in token of the continuance of friendship and brotherly love, and will invest you with the pass-grip, pass-word, real grip and word of a Fellow Craft. As you are uninstructed, he who has hitherto answered for you, will do so at this time. Give me the grip of an Entered Apprentice."

Shibboleth is an important password because "this password will be demanded of you by one of the deacons, and should you be unable to give it it would cause confusion in the craft"

That’s it? What benefit does learning handshakes have? It sounds like they don’t discuss professions or business or politics... what do they actually do other than shake each other’s hands?

Should I keep going?

>The purpose of this is to make you compromise your own religion because freemasonry at the very surface level promotes universalism.
Yes.

>"For every man's conception of God must vary with his mental cultivation and mental powers. If any one contents himself with any lower image than his intellect is capable of grasping, then he contents himself with that which is false to him, as well as false in fact. If lower than he can reach, he must needs feel it to be false. And if we, of the nineteenth century before Him; if our conceptions of God are those of the ignorant, narrow-minded, and vindictive Israelite; then we think worse of God, and have a lower, meaner, and more limited view of His nature, than the faculties which He has bestowed are capable of grasping. The highest view we can form is nearest to the truth."

>"Religion, to obtain currency and influence with the great mass of mankind, must needs be alloyed with such an amount of error as to place it far below the standard attainable by the higher human capacities. A religion as pure as the loftiest and most cultivated human reason could discern, would not be comprehended by, or effective over, the less educated portion of mankind. What is Truth to the philosopher, would not be Truth, nor have the effect of Truth, to the peasant."

The first three degrees are literally fraternity-tier shit. Your grandfather probably didn't get past the third degree. Because most people don't. For most people it's a fraternity with some benefits for businessmen. You join it for the connections. They don't think about the significance of boaz, of shibboleth. They just progress to be part of the club.

These initiate levels are basically to erode your faith if you are a Christian, or a Muslim, because your loyalty goes to the freemasons rather than your original religion. The indoctrination is slow, and they only release the dogshit later on.

They have a worrying tendency to value ritual participation and wealth over tangible competencies. That is to say, they appear to resemble an implementation of the Peter Principle...

The third degree is called "The Duegard of a Master Mason", you start with both hands resting on the Bible. You then make the sign alluding to the penalty.

"To have my body cut in two, my bowels removed and burned to ashes which are then to be scattered to the four winds of heaven."

The sign is made by drawing the thumb quickly across the waist to the right hip, then dropping the hand to the side. This action shows the stomach being ripped open.

Then the "pass grip of a master mason" handshake is taught. This one is called tubalcain.

The Mason places his thumb on the space between the second and third knuckles of the fellow Mason's right hand, while the fellow Mason moves his thumb to the corresponding space on the first Masons hand. The thumb is pressed hard between the second and third knuckles of the hands.

Then the worshipful master says

"I now present my right hand in token of the continuance of friendship and brotherly love, and will invest you with the pass-grip and pass-word of a Master Mason. As you are uninstructed, he who has hitherto answered for you, will do so at this time. Give me the real grip of a Fellow Craft."

Then after this you are taught the REAL GRIP of a Master Mason called "Ma-ha-bone"

The Mason firmly grasps the right hand of a fellow Mason. The thumbs of both hands are interlaced. The first Mason presses the tops of his fingers against the wrist of the fellow Mason where it unites with the hand. The fellow Mason at the same time presses his fingers against the corresponding part of the the first Mason's hand and the fingers of each are somewhat apart. This grip is also called the Strong Grip of the Master Mason or the Lion's Paw.


The Worshipful Master will say something like that

"I instruct you as to the manner arriving of the real grip and word of a master mason. As you are uninstructed I will teach you etc etc"

After this you are taught the five points of fellowship.

lmao you guys are embarrassing with this shit
My dad is a 31st degree and it's literally benign larping

remember the water buffalo lodge from the flintstones? its exactly that. ala retarded

It depends on the lodge.

After you receive the real grip of a master mason you will learn the five points of fellowship, you will also be taught about the hiramic legend.

You will learn the embrace. It's literally a secret hug/embrace. Foot to foot, knee to knee, breast to breast, hand to back, and cheek to cheek, or mouth to ear.

The worshipful master will whisper "Ma-Ha-Bone" into your ear, and the meaning is "What, the builder!".

There is a lot of allusion here.

Then you swear. "I will not give the substitute for the masters word in any other way or manner than that in which I receive it, which will be on the five points of fellowship and at whispered breath"
There. That is the essence of the first three degrees of freemasonry.

The Australian lodge is a little different but their practices are still essentially the same as any other in the blue lodge.

Now I'll tell you a little bit more about freemasonry agenda, if you are interested still.

I will provide sources also

It's the Rose Croix, or Scottish Rite.
Which is the one that all the conspiracy theories are about.
It's literally as benign and harmless as the craft lodges, just old retired guys larping
Your descriptions of the craft rituals are almost identical to the Australian ones besides a couple of the gruesome lines are excluded.
You also left out the actual "ritual" portion, including acting out things about Hiram Abiff

Keep going user

my great grandfather was high up a master mason or something if I remember correctly what does that mean on this tier list ? asked my grandfather about it he just told me he never rally got into it.

Just a group of faggots.

Gnosticism is the ACTUAL religion that investigation normies call the "Illuminate Satanism Luciferians!". But these terms are distractions and help them hide by creating a straw-man badies for Christians to chase.

It's basically a offshoot of Paul's Christianity the appears in Alexandria Egypt during the 60s AD. Paul even writes to them in 1st Corinthians and tells them to stop practicing incest orgies and scamming people out of donations (ch 1).
Christians got blamed by many ancient cultures from Gaul to Thracian lands... for doing sick shit ( drug orgies, cannibalism, homosexuality, incest/pedos) but it was in fact the Gnostic branch following them around.

In the 60s AD there was a large Judean community living in Alexandria, but they were at war in Judea with the Roman Empire and it's Hellenic culture.
So a group formed a secret society called "the knowers". The symbolism they use is a sort of anti-Platonism. Roman elite kids in Alexandria were going to Platonic universities. The other major theme is transgender homosexual Goddess worship because the cult of Isis was a major religion in Egypt.

Every modern occultism group within Judeo-Christian-Islamic lands is just a branch of Gnosticism, this includes Hermeticism, Kabbalah, Rosicrucianism, Templars, Saturnians, Illuminate, Satanism, Wicca (Crowley), Luciferians (Blavatsky), Sufism and Manicians (Islam), and the "New Age" (Alice Bailey). They all claim to be from older pagan traditions but it's a lie.

Freemasons were two forms and enemies engaged in a 'wizard war':
1. Gnostic occult masonry (see Queen Victoria).
2. Scientific Deism (see America's Founding Fathers... Aristotelian-Platonic-Stoicism themes)
Hitler often spoke like a Deist to give you a hint about how intensely opposing these two groups were in ideology.

there are only three "degrees" in freemasonry.
After that, everything is optional, and all master masons are equal to each other, regardless of if they continue in the York Rite or Scottish Rite
Being a Master Mason just means being a "full" freemason, and not an initiate

they'll lure you in and then present to you horrible unspeakable crimes, then they'll put you in chains and tell you to keep that secret until death.

They practice most of the same stuff in every blue lodge. But again, I am not a mason. I don't know all the secrets. Just some of the rituals.

>Hiram Abiff

You mean the play? Interesting thing about the play, they don't actually explain it at any point. Are you a mason?

If he was a master mason then he got at least a little bit into it. For example, they have a ritual where they blindfold you. If you are a Christian they force you to remove any crucifix or anything like that. No "defensive or offensive" protection is allowed.

You are then blindfolded, then they say something to you like "you are no longer blind" because they are implying that you were in darkness before. That your other religion was part of your blindness, that you need the full scope of masonry to finally see.

It's during this ritual that you start to see the Luciferian allusions.

All these organizations say they don't discuss business or politics, but at the higher levels they do.
Look up: George Washington, Simon Bolivar, Garibaldi and Gemal Ataturk. You'll see a pattern.
The French motto Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité originated among the Masons.
Along with the Jews and Communists, they are most directly responsible for modern societal ills.
There's also the Knights Templar and Shriners which you should look into.

The freemasons have always been the enemy of Christianity and this can be shown with pic related.

Pic related is Carlos the first of Portugal. He was assasinated by the freemasons in a coup. During a secular revolution by a man named Sebastiao de Magalhaes Lima. He was the leader of the freemasons at the time.

During this time all Catholic and Christian practices in the country were outlawed. Even the currency itself had the symbol of the freemasons and I"ll show you what it looked like.

In 1917, the freemasons were overthrown. This is when Catholics say the miracle of fatima happened.

Yes, most craft or "blue" lodges are the same, but some lines etc. are different.
I am a freemason, but only a master mason, my dad is in the Scottish Rite.
They never explain the "play" because it's major spoilers and would ruin it for new people

Correct. The United States is a nation founded by freemasons, with freemason ideals at heart.

interesting thanks boys was always wondering about this

whats the source of these quotes

no worries
All of the conspiracies are memes
Your grandfather was probably in it for the companionship and fraternity with his boomer friends
The only thing they "teach" you in freemasonry is to be a just, upright man of strict morals

Freemasons are good. Anytime someone talks shit about them they are creating a false boogeyman instead of naming the Jew and are often Jewish themselves. They also do the same thing with Catholics, the royals, reptilians and so on and so forth. No freemasons do not run the world, nor Catholics nor royals nor reptilians, it is jews. If you are American and protestant then yes all of your grandpa's were freemasons going back to founding stock. It's time for the new generation to take back these institutions and rebuild them and join a lodge, the boomers broke the tradition like those dirty hippies destroyed our culture with their sex, drugs and whatever else they were into

It's both. All of the above.

Okay faggot. You came in here at first with a "haha guys the freemasons dindu nothing" attitude.

You are an enemy of Christianity and if you do not turn away from Lucifer.

>Spoilers for new people.

The reason is because it's not for the "plebs" to know and you know it. They NEVER explain the play because if you aren't smart enough to "get" it then you are not worthy. They only want certain types of thinkers.

The Freemasons during those days were behind the organization of a group called the Cabonari. You can look them up on youtube. But essentially they were a group of freemason revolutionaries who's job was to cause riots, incite violence and turn over governments. They did a lot of work from Italy and in South America.

They are also related to the plans of the Alta Vendita. The Alta Vendita(pic related) is a book that lays out the plans of the freemasons to infiltrate the Catholic Church.

The freemasons intend this for all Christianity. Subversion is their primary tactic. They are a cult that looks like a fraternity on the surface, but they are a secret society that aids in high level intelligence and blackops type operations.

Very true, thank you.
Blaming the freemasons with baseless conspiracies is a classic Jewish misdirection to keep people from naming them

Freemasons follow an evil cult edict.

They are of the bloodline of Cain.

youtube.com/watch?v=62Hok9BkYcY

Okay thats most of what I know about freemasonry.

In effect, they're a cult that idolizes the calculating intellect, the sect of the bourgeois spirit, as displayed in the operas of Mozart.

No, not really, maybe at certain points in history but now it's the Jews. This is because all these institutions are failing, with the fall of religion. Just like Catholics zoomers are trying to make a come back so should protestants who are freemasons. Also there are more protestant founding stock in this country than Catholics and nothing is worse than founding stock white zoomers larping as Catholics. We didn't even have a Catholic president until Kennedy and look at the mess he created with the coloreds

>You are an enemy of Christianity and if you do not turn away from Lucifer.
lmao, you know that meaningless shit is very old catholic seethe?
Freemasonry is inherently christian, they just let others in because they don't mention "god" or "jesus" by name
>The reason is because it's not for the "plebs" to know and you know it. They NEVER explain the play because if you aren't smart enough to "get" it then you are not worthy. They only want certain types of thinkers.
No actually, the story of Hiram Abiff is very simple.
They don't tell it because it would take away from the mystery and most people wouldn't care enough to join if there were no "secrets"

Thank you brother. Think it’s worth meeting with one?

Only a negro would say this, we all know who the children of Cain are...

Freemasonry is knowing the knowledge and what the Jews are up to

He was a jew
/thread

You can also be a freemason no question if your father or grandfather were a mason. Join up and report back, user

That's right. The organization in particular was called Carbonária but it was indeed a freemason society. Very similar to what happened in Italy with Garibaldi.
The one part I don't really get about the freemasonry mythos is the relevancy of Hiram Abiff, the thrice-killed. Is he like an anti Hermes Trimegistus? I mean, I get that they would be interested in the builder of the temple of Solomon, but I have the feeling there's A LOT to that story that's kept from public knowledge. The "spoiers" that aussie user was talking about. What you think?

Based as fuck
It seems like you actually understand true American ideals, and not the muttified disgrace we see today
If you already think they're "evil" or whatever then don't bother.

Let yourself be enlightened by the words of truty. Thy uncle is not a mason. He's a fag

Why don't you give me the lodge version? I can google shit on my own, thank you.

because it's the same, just acted out
The wikipedia article literally tells the whole story

Stay away from them. Go to God instead.

>inherently Christian

Christians inherently refuse to acknowledge any other religion as the true path while freemasons say that it doesn't matter what your religion is as long as you pledge to freemasonry.

This is why you have Catholics remove their scapular and cross when they are blindfolded. Because nothing "offensive or defensive" should be present.

Christians say "no, only Christ is the way" and you say universalism is the way.

Your philosophy is anti-thetical to Christianity, and that is why Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians all condemn freemasonry. We can see it for what it is.

If you do not turn away from Luciferian teachings your soul risks eternal damnation.

Miracle of the Sun is the reason freemasons failed. Keep that in mind. The secrets of fatima are important.

Portugal won't be penetrated for this reason in terms of doctrine and dogma. Never forget what St Mary did for Portugal.

As for Hiram Abiff, he is a parody and there's really very little else to it. Lucifer is never original. Everything he does is always a mockery of what God did. Never forget it.

I think it's a shame how we always talk how our history is being erased in America and our institutions destroyed when I see Americans who are protestant raised even if they don't go to church and know their grandpa's were freemasons going all the way back to their founding fathers who were their blood anscestors be duped into calling their own family evil. If they want to control their destiny and their institutions then they need to get involved in the lodge and not larp as a Catholics. Catholics have their own thing but they are few, we are many and it would give protestant raised men that feeling of brotherhood and knowledge that they are in awe by the Catholics.

okay whatever, you sound like a catholic larper
But let me tell you this:
The VAST majority of freemasons do not base their life and beliefs around it.
You make it sound like freemasons are eternally bound by some mystic force when they join, and their entire worldview is based around it permanently. It's not like that at all.
I still hate Jews, the media, bankers, Israel, etc.
Freemasonry is basically like a hobby

When the noose is tied around the neck, and the blindfold is removed. What does it matter if you only have eyes for deception?

What darkness was released then?

Very accurate
White protestant Americans could rebuild what they had in America, instead of larping as catholics to make up for it
