I have put this page together in order to share my Masonic experiences with others with the hope that I can relate what Masonry means to me. I am writing this both for the experienced Mason, and the person who has no idea what Masonry is. I've heard some bad things about Masonry.
Masonry is many things to many people.
It is a course of moral instruction using both allegories and symbols to teach its lessons. The legends and myths of the old stone cutters and masons, many of them involved in building the great cathedrals of Europe, have been woven into an interesting and effective way to portray moral truths. In other words, Masonry uses ageless methods and lessons to make each of us a better person. This is a much harder question to answer, but I'm going to do my best. As far as I'm concerned, Masonry has several things going for it.
