What is Freemasonry

The Secret of Masonry Go back to the top

“ The secret of Masonry, like the secret of life, can be known only by those who seek it, serve it, live it. It cannot be uttered; it can only be felt and acted. It is, in fact, an open secret, and each man knows it according to his quest and capacity. Like all things worth knowing, no one can know it for another and no man can know it alone. ”
~ Dr. Joseph Fort Newton

History of Freemasonry - The Origins of Freemasonry in England Go back to the top

The questions of when, how, why and where Freemasonry originated are still the subject of intense speculation.

The general consensus amongst Masonic scholars is that it descends directly or indirectly from the organisation of operative stone masons who built the great cathedrals and castles of the middle ages.
