Freemasonry. What is it and how do I join?
_______________________________________
Freemasonry is the largest and oldest secular fraternal order in the world, crossing all religious boundaries to bring men together of all countries, sects, and opinion in peace and harmony. Our members have included major religious figures, kings, and presidents. To join the brotherhood, you must demonstrate the values that have been shared by millions of Masons for hundreds of years.
__________________________________________
So how do I join?
This is simple. Ask.
Contact a lodge (closer the better unless you’re happy to travel). Do this either by email, Social media if applicable or if you know what time the lodge meets, you can always go in person.
In NSW/ACT Australia it IS NOT a requirement to know other Freemasons before joining. Though knowing 2 can make the application process quicker, it isn’t going to stop you from being accepted however.
> Things to consider before joining.
You must be at least 18yrs of age (in AUS)
You must believe in a supreme being, though >something to note is that two subjects are never discussed in the lodge. These are religion and politics.
>You must come of your own free will and want to join without pressure from others.
>A criminal history check must be completed to show you are of good character.
If all of the above is met, we look forward to calling you brother down the road.
Stay safe. Be kind.
How to join the Freemasons.
Once again by popular demand.
First things first. Ask yourself why you want to join. There are many reasons to join, but making sure your reason for joining is legitimate should be step 1.
Freemasonry does not make you rich.
Freemasonry does not give you power.
Freemasonry does not make you famous.
If any of those are your reasons for joining, turn back now because you’re wasting your time.
With that out of the way and your reasons for pursuing Freemasonry being legitimate, you need to find a lodge. You’d be surprised just how many there are. Google is your friend, use the internet to find lodges near you.
Once this is done, contact them via email or phone if those are listed. Some lodges (like us) have social media pages as well, such as, Instagram and Facebook. The lodge members will then give you a run down on how the joining process works from there.
Freemasonry isn’t free of cost. There will be an initiation fee which covers the cost of the nights proceedings and the dinner that follows should you be accepted by a lodge.
There are also dues. Dues are a monthly membership fee of sorts that go towards the upkeep of your lodge, among other things.
If you’re a man of good character, enjoy charity work, helping others, and improving yourself to be the best version of you possible, then consider joining. We’d love to chat.
HOW TO JOIN FREEMASONS
____________________________
One of Freemasonry’s customs is NOT to solicit members. However, anyone should feel free to approach any Mason to seek further information about the Craft. Below are answers to some common questions about joining Freemasonry.
What are the requirements for becoming a Freemason?
The doors of Freemasonry are open to men who seek harmony with their fellow man, feel the need for self-improvement and wish to participate in making this world a better place to live. In order to be considered for membership you must:
Be 21 years of age or older
Be of good character and reputation
Believe in the existence of a Supreme Being
Have resided in Ontario for the previous 12 months
How much does it cost to be a Mason?
Fees vary by Lodge. In The General Mercer Lodge, members pay annual dues and a one-time initiation fee. All funds received go towards the expenses of running and administering the Lodge, including: space rental, food and refreshments served at Lodge meetings, Masonic regalia, and other administrative expenses. We have members from a variety of professional backgrounds, and we seek to ensure that lodge fees are within the financial means of all who wish to be members of our Fraternity.
How much time would I have to commit if I joined?
The General Mercer Lodge meets on the second Friday and fourth Monday of the Month (except in July and August), from 7:30 to 10:30 – you would be expected to attend these meetings, however exceptions are made in cases of pressing family or professional commitments.
Where do Freemasons meet?
Freemasons meet at Masonic Temples, which are located in communities across the Province (and the World). The General Mercer Lodge meets at the Annette Street Masonic Temple, which is located at 151 Annette Street in Toronto (just north of Keele subway station). Click here for a map.
Will I have to do a lot of memorization and public speaking?
Memorization and public speaking are an important part of Freemasonry, and you would be expected to do some reciting of memorized text. While this may seem daunting if you are not used to public speaking, you will find that most Masons can tell you how their comfort with public speaking increased dramatically as they progressed in Freemasonry. It is also important to note that a Masonic Lodge is a supportive environment, and your fellow Masons will endeavour to help you with any memorization you may be asked to do.
How will becoming a Freemason benefit me financially and in my professional life?
Freemasonry is not a networking society. As detailed throughout this website, the goal of Freemasonry is to ‘make good men better’ through the virtues of fraternity, charity and truth. When Masons enter a Masonic Lodge, they leave their professional lives at the door and meet ‘on the level’ with men from a variety of backgrounds to practice these virtues, and not to network or make business connections.
How will becoming a Freemason make me a better man?
Freemasonry is not a religion, but it is grounded in religious and spiritual teachings and uses these teachings to impart a system of morality grounded in ancient wisdom. This system of morality reinforces and further supports notions such as the equality of men before God, the virtues of hard work and perseverance, the importance of providing relief and assistance to those in need, and the awe and reverence we should all feel towards the universe. The more a Mason participates in and reflects on these teachings, the more he will feel them to be fundamental, eternal truths, and not simple notions or social conventions, and the more he will practice them with confidence in all aspects of his life.
I am interested in becoming a Mason, but don’t know anyone who’s a member – can I still join?
In order to join a Masonic Lodge, you must be recommended by two members of that Lodge. If you do not know a member that you can ask, you can contact The General Mercer Lodge and someone from the Lodge will contact you to discuss your interest in applying.
Once I’ve submitted my application when will I know if I’ve been accepted?
After you submit your application to the Lodge an investigation will be made into your character. This will include a background check, as well as having three members of the Lodge visit with you to discuss your interest in Freemasonry and your motivations for joining. The three people who visit with you will then file a report with the Lodge, after which the members of the Lodge will ballot on your application
Becoming a Mason
Masons do not solicit for members. You will need to express your personal interest in joining the Fraternity.
To become a Freemason you must:
Be a man at least 18 years of age
be of good moral character
have a personal belief in a Supreme Being (the definition of a Supreme Being is up to you)
decide to become a Mason of “your own free will and accord”
be loyal to your country
be dedicated to providing for your own family
have a sincere determination to conduct yourself in a manner that will earn the respect and trust of others
and possess a desire to help others through community service and universal benevolence.
Follow these steps to become a member:
Talk with someone you know who is a member of the Fraternity. If you do not know anyone who is a Mason, just contact Rosenberg Masonic Lodge No. 881, a lodge in your neighborhood, or the Grand Lodge of Texas.
Complete a petition for membership and return it to your local lodge.
After the lodge receives your petition, three members will meet with you to answer your questions. Your petition will be presented for secret ballot.
If accepted, you will be notified to appear to receive the first of three Degrees of Masonry

WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?

The following is a brief response to questions often asked about Freemasonry: what is Freemasonry, what is its origin, when and where did it start, who started it, and what is its purpose.
Freemasonry is the oldest and the largest fraternal order in the world. It is a universal brotherhood of men dedicated to serving God, family, fellowman and country.
The heritage of modern Freemasonry is derived from the organized guilds or unions of stone masons who constructed the beautiful cathedrals and other stately structures throughout Europe during the middle ages. The skills and architectural genius of these craftsmen and their commitment to the highest standards of moral and ethical values were universally applauded, and unlike other classes of people, they were allowed to travel freely from country to country. Thus, during this period, the word “Free” was prefixed to the word mason, and these craftsmen, and the generations of masons who followed, were referred to as Freemasons.
Until about the sixteenth century, masons were strictly an operative craft-stone masons and architects building those magnificent cathedrals and palaces, many of which still adorn the landscape of the European country side. Early in the seventeenth century, membership in these unions or operating lodges of stone masons began to decline, and probably to compensate for their loss in members, they began to admit certain men of prominence in society who were not craftsmen or stone masons. This class of members were initially considered patrons of the Fraternity, and over the years became known as “accepted masons”. At the conclusion of the seventeenth century, a radical transformation had evolved; these accepted masons had become predominant, and the older lodges of Freemasons began to emphasize and teach moral philosophy rather than the technical and operative art of earlier centuries. Tools of the stone masons are still used in the Fraternity today, but only to symbolize moral virtue, not to build cathedrals.
Although the moral philosophy of Freemasonry is founded upon religious principles, it is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for religion. Candidates for membership (adult males) are however, expected to profess a belief in God, and be of good moral character.

WHO CAN BECOME A MASON?
In order to be considered for membership in the Masonic Fraternity you must:
Be a male
Be at least 19 years old (Oklahoma) *21 years old in most other states
Believe in the existence of one true and living God and the immortality of the soul
Support local and national government and abide by the laws and Constitution of the United States (in the U.S.)
Not be engaged in illegal activities
Have a good reputation in the community
Have no mental, legal, or moral impairment which would prevent you from being a good Mason and associating with men to whom ethics and honor are important.

HOW DO I BECOME A MASTER MASON?
It’s not hard to become a Master Mason. The process is by petition and then by taking a series of three Degrees. They are ancient in form, and contain no “horse-play.”
Make sure you meet the qualifications (listed above).
Ask a Master Mason for a petition.
Fill out the petition and return it to the Mason who gave it to you. He will take it to the Lodge where it will be read in a meeting.
Meet with a committee appointed by the Master of the Lodge. The committee will meet with you at your convenience. Their task is to amplify the information on the petition and to answer your questions about Masonry.
The Lodge will contact you to tell you when to come for the Entered Apprentice Degree. After you take the Degree, a Brother will help you learn some material. After that, you take the Fellowcraft Degree and the Master Mason Degree.
That’s all it takes
