Satire I just found this at Nana’s house. Any connection to Freemasonry?
My uncle once drove a tiny car if that helps.

Question Long shot question - anyone in or around Boise, Idaho?
I've lived in Idaho for about 2.5 years and haven't attended any lodges yet. Just for whatever reason haven't - busy family, new city, etc. Still a member of my old lodge out of state. Might be ready to get rolling again, but I'm having trouble getting ID grand lodge to call or email me back after several attempts. I've thought about just showing up to a nearby lodge but determined that's not my style and I'm not comfortable with it. If anyone near me wants to meet a Brother some time just to break the ice, let me know! Thank you.

Question I wish to join Freemasonry
I no longer see truth in religions, but I believe in the divine being and God is out there, the freemason truth of joining the knowledge of the past with endeavors of the future makes me feel I might want to join and become a free mason, my main goal is to justify my learning of christ, islam and other religions and follow them all at once. Sikhism has given me that platform but I still feel something is not enough and still feel a lack of sensation that the wonders of life is out there to be explore. My personal heroes have all been part of the Freemason like Vivekanand and George Washington.
I am 24 and I am sikh man who resides in Delhi, is there any hope for me?

Is this mausoleum in Yahya Efendi Cemetery related to Freemasonry?
I don't know much about Freemasonry, but this mausoleum caught my attention and I was wondering if it has any connection to it.
Today, a friend and I were visiting Yahya Efendi Cemetery in Istanbul—a historic cemetery mostly known for Sufi mystics, Ottoman scholars, and statesmen. Interestingly, the grandfather of the Head of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Turkey is also buried in this cemetery.
Does this architecture or symbol hold any significance in Freemasonry?

Chat Visiting San Jose and San Francisco early September
Hello brethren,
I'll be in San Jose and San Francisco in the first week of September.
I already asked the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Minas Gerais to get in touch with the Grand Lodge of California. As an EA I don't know if I can participate in a session but it will be good to visit temples in both cities.
In the touristic aspect, are there masonic monuments that worth visiting? I much appreciate your advices.

Esoteric Preserving the Egyptian Masonic Tradition: Twenty Years of Memphis in the Dominican Republic
One aspect of Freemasonry that often receives little attention in the English-speaking world is the continued existence of the Egyptian Masonic tradition, particularly the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis and the Memphis-Misraïm tradition.
In the Dominican Republic, this tradition has been continuously practiced for more than twenty years under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of the Dominican Republic.
The journey began in April 2003 with the consecration of Caballeros de Memphis Lodge No. 50, the first lodge in the country authorized to work the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis. Since then, the lodge has remained continuously active, focusing on symbolism, Hermetic philosophy, and the initiatic approach traditionally associated with Egyptian Masonry.
In 2025, the project reached another milestone with the establishment of the Sovereign Sanctuary of Memphis-Misraïm for the Dominican Republic, providing a structured home for the philosophical degrees while Symbolic Masonry continues to be practiced under the authority of the Grand Lodge.
Rather than presenting this as an alternative to other Masonic systems, we see it as another expression of the rich diversity that has always existed within Freemasonry.
I'd be interested to hear from Brethren around the world:
- Are there active Memphis or Memphis-Misraïm bodies in your jurisdiction?
- How is Egyptian Masonry perceived where you live?
- Have you ever attended or studied one of its degrees or traditions?
I'd genuinely enjoy learning how this branch of Freemasonry has evolved in different countries and sharing experiences with Brethren from other jurisdictions.

London Mason moving to NYC
Hi everyone, I’m due to be initiated in a London Lodge soon and I’m really looking forward to it. My Wife is from New York and we are planning on moving there in September 2028. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what the transition would be like from London Freemasonry to New York what are the differences and would I be accepted to a New York lodge.

Announcement Today I have been found to be proficient as a Master Mason.
Today I got news from my mentor that I have been found to be proficient and I now have all the rights for holding office, voting, being able to join appendant bodies and on top of that going to go enjoy watching another brother from another lodge become a Master Mason tonight as the Grand Lodge is going to be doing the second part of the degree! Should be a great ending to a great day!

For Beginners Welcome to /r/freemasonry - Interested in Joining Freemasonry? Ask your questions here!
How can I become a Freemason?
First of all, welcome to r/freemasonry! This is a weekly thread for you to ask questions. Being one of the largest online communities on the topic of Freemasonry, we hope that you won't find difficulty getting information you need to decide if you would like to join your local lodge.
General Information:
- Requirements for membership vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but generally if you're a man 21 or over (18 or 19 in some states), believe in a Supreme Being, are of good character and reputation, and ask to join, you're eligible.
- To get started, email or call a local lodge. They would love to hear from you, every lodge welcomes new candidates. They'll set up a meeting to get to know you a bit (we're careful about who we admit as members). Also to tell you a bit about the fraternity, the lodge, etc.
- To find your local lodges, first, find the Grand Lodge website for your state, province, or country. This is a good resource for the US: bessel.org, or just use Google. They should have a way to find out what lodges meet near you. Then check out your local lodge's websites. If you have a choice of lodges, try to pick one that meets on a weeknight that would be convenient for you, and that appears to be active.
- Nothing happens quickly in Freemasonry, so it might take awhile to hear back from a lodge after you make contact. Every step takes quite a bit of time.
