Freemasonry

The teachings of Freemasonry are clothed in the symbols of the building craft. Its mysteries are universal and are shared by many other traditions. These traditions have given form to this wisdom under many guises but in Freemasonry these truths of Nature are expressed in the terms of construction and architecture.

The articles presented here cast light on various aspects of Freemasonry and how it can be applied to daily living. As always, readers are urged to employ spiritual discrimination and discernment.
