When I was but a child, I was told that I could be a Mason if I so chose. I'm approaching thirty years of age, and would like to know where I may contact someone and begin my tentative steps along this path. | |

First, I would do some research and ask a lot of questions before making this choice.
The question I have for you is, what are you looking to get out of Freemasonry? | |

There have always been symbols and ideals that have caught my attention, and it seems that many of these are associated with or derived from Freemasonry. Some of the most prominent include the Knights Templar, Ourouborous, and teachings found within works of the Golden Dawn.
Many times while reading, meditating, or learning about something its as though I've known this my entire life. On one note, I would like to know how I know without knowing. As of late, I've not been so big on rituals and excersises, and would like to become more in tune with others who share this sense of being. | |
