However, there's no question that the ritualistic process of becoming a Master Mason is a positive force in our lives. Conferring the three degrees of Entered Apprentice , Fellowcraft , and Master Mason is the work of the Blue Lodge or Craft Lodge in this symbolic temple called Freemasonry. Masonry may be the last of the ancient mystery schools. As such, it holds the many keys to ancient hidden truths. One's journey outward is first a journey inward.
Masonic work is the work of the individual on the self.
The Entered Apprentice is a seeker of light. He who seeks more light within Freemasonry passes through the Fellow Craft and travels the Master Mason's rite of passage. It is from there that the real quest begins. Within these first three steps, the keys of Freemasonry rest. In California, you can search by community for the nearest Craftlodge or Blue Lodge.
