INSIGHT

Degrees Teach, Don't Create Hierarchy

Freemasonry centers on becoming a better person through ritual, symbolism, and brotherhood.
Degrees beyond the third are lateral study paths rather than hierarchical control.

ADVICE

Visit Your Local Lodge To Learn

If you're curious, find your local Masonic temple on Google Maps and contact them directly.
Don't expect solicitation; show genuine interest and attend in person if emails fail.
