Okay I did as you recommended and spent the better half of my day reading and researching so far as the Internet provides and I ordered two books from Amazon. Born in Blood and the The Lost Keys of Freemasonry so I await there arrival.
Can you guys here answer a few questions for me though:
This
Ancient and
Modern thing...I can't find very much information on it except for here. Are you guys mostly
modern or
ancient? How do you tell the lodges apart?
Mr. Brown, I was curious about your 32nd degree after your name and found a lot of information about it and it sounds like you are a member of the Scottish Rite....is this correct? I found
www.scottishrite.org but these guys call themselves
Ancient and Accepted so I am guessing there is a
Modern and Accepted Scottish Rite but I can't find their website to save my life....
Can a person be both
ancient and
modern at the same time? Or
Modern for one lodge and
Ancient for another?
Are Traditional Observance lodges
Ancient or
Modern? I can't tell.
Are European Concept Lodges
Ancient or
Modern?
I saw the Co-Masonry thing and followed it up a bit. I think I would be more interested in a male lodge, just because I would like one guy thing in my life as everything else I do is mixed...and it would be nice to have some man only fellowship time. If I become a Mason, can a pick a male only lodge whether
ancient or
modern?
