Last night I met a guy at Halloween party who told me he was a Free Mason. He was hilarious and fit right in with my friend group. Upon asking him what the Free Masons are he just said “basically we’re a bunch of dudes who get together for pancakes on Saturday.”
I’ve also heard conspiracies about the group in the past, and I even had an ex coworker once tell me the Free Masons were a cult and were out to get him.
Anyone have any insights? The internet is not very helpful.
Women get their own order: The Order of the Eastern Star
Ok, but random women can’t join. You have to have a male family member or husband who is a freemason. So your ability to be a member of eastern star is subordinate to and dependent on the freemason status of a man in your family. Also, men can be in eastern star, but women cannot be masons
