How
to Become
a Mason
The Order of Freemasons is mystic, conveying its lessons through
allegory and symbol, and initiatic, bringing its members into the Craft
through time honored and solemn rituals, linking through tradition to
the distant past.
Initiates submit themselves to learning and prove their mastery of the
knowledge through academic papers and Masonic proficiency before
advancing in the Craft. To reach the degree of Master is and ancient
challenge. He whose heart is pure and spirit loyal will be rewarded
with the secret which can not be spoken.
No member of Prometheus Lodge, or Freemasonry in general, will ever
solicit you for membership. Indeed, your joining the Craft must be a
decision reached of your own free will and accord.
Should you be desirous of joining Prometheus Lodge No.
851, you ought to seek out and develop relationships with our members ,
that both you and the Lodge may become better acquainted with one
another.
Two Brothers,
with whom you have forged strong relationships with, must stand forward
and sponsor your application to our Lodge.
After the
application is received by the lodge, and no objection has been raised,
the Worshipful Master will appoint a committee to investigate the
applicant. Upon completing their interviews the committee members will
report their findings to the lodge and make a recommendation.
Election to the
degrees of Freemasonry must be by unanimous vote of the members of our
Lodge. When elected for the degrees, a time is scheduled for your
initiation as an Entered Apprentice, the first of the three degrees.
