who are the Freemasons, what do they believe/do?
In: 145
My wife’s late grandma was once the head of The Order of the Amaranth, the national chapter of women within the Freemasons. This would have been many decades ago, probably early-middle 20th century. Her grandparents owned a large nationally recognized company, that I won’t name, for confidentiality reasons.
I don’t know the state of the Masons today, but from what I’ve learned about what went on back then, the Freemasons were/are a very real and fairly powerful secret society, consisting of wealthy business owners and politicians. They gathered in secret mostly to network, discuss business or political plans of ambiguous legality, organize philanthropic efforts, and conduct ritualistic traditions. They’re not quite the Illuminati, but they did run society at a certain level. They use a lot of symbols and ciphers, for both secrecy and for tradition. I have a few old Freemason booklets and documents that I can’t even read because they’re in code.
