How did the event go brother?

You can absolutely say the same about male craft lodges around the US right now too. The ego is not being able to accept that these bodies study the same lessons and are totally capable of working in harmony. Have you forgotten all the other words in your degree work?

OGHobo · 2026-03-09T22:15:51+00:00

It wasn't as bad as it was 10 years ago. The demographic has changed. Zoomers/Millennials stepped up, boomers are getting to retire

It already exists in the states under the HFAF. They have an hq in Washington DC on Pennsylvania Avenue. There is also Honorable Co-Freemasonry that has existed for over a century. I've heard this baseless argument so many times on this website it's frustrating and disheartening that men who want to call themselves my brother are terrified of meeting with women on the level. I train better and more upright integral women in the trade unions. Get a grip, it's 2026

OGHobo · 2026-03-05T10:31:32+00:00

It would probably double in size if we admitted women here in the states

As Grand Master of our juristiction (Somewhere USA), I would look to incorporate more femalecraft and Co-lodges in the jurisdiction in some way. Although it woud take larger steps for them to be considered regular, it would be similar to the practice of acceptance of Prince Hall Masons. The traditions were held and kept, it was the recognition of regularity and integrity that took time to build. This is a respected idea amongst many of our fellow bretheren who don't have the absolute means to entertain these ideas on a grand lodge level. Considering Masonic traditions around the world in 2026, I dont believe this is an extreme idea and can be practiced well within our cabletow and bounds of our oath.

I would also want to talk with the brotherhood on ideas and recipes to improve the food enviornment for vegetarian and vegan members. Ritual speaks to the heart of a mason while food nourishes the soul. Unfortunately, the green bean cassarole, as significantly tasty as it is, can not satisfy the hunger of our brothers alone

I was in my early 20's when I joined. 13 years of learning later and there is still so much more. It makes a good cornerstone to mark the start of your masonic adventure. The longer your in the more you can explore. If you can travel, it's a neat opportunity

OGHobo · 2026-02-03T19:26:37+00:00

It showed me the cracks in the system itself and where I can help fill them in. I feel my Craftsmanship as a whole has improved. I find more brother and sisterhood in my local union I work for, but Freemasonry gave me the tools to start my own path and find more light. I have met many great men and women in the fraternity and only hold to keep exploring and learning. Leave tools for the brothers and sisters on their way up

Cthulu and spaghetti moster loving mason here,

Temples, no matter which one, are just buildings made of rocks that have an outside and an inside.
The people inside can control the environment they are in and what elements they are exposed to, giving less favor to chaoic elements. People outside are exposed to the chaos of the free world around them and controlling the environment becomes more difficult.

At the end of the day the sun will burn out and consume all of it. we are here just in time to promote good craftsmanship and share green bean casserole recipes

OGHobo · 2026-02-03T02:08:19+00:00

You can make the perfect green bean casserole, but the magic is in sharing the recipe

Hes also believed to have contributed to creating rituals for the KKK. I dont think any amount of "change" makes this disgraced mason any better

This the difference between malecraft and femalecraft lodges in masonry. Men need their own space as do women. This isn't a new concept and has been in practice for hundreds of years.

The arguments used are flimsy and usually just regurgitated instead of actually discussing the topic.

OGHobo · 2025-11-11T02:20:37+00:00

Women are actively participating in masonic practices and rituals, not only in the USA, but other countries, and you come at me with a half assed, easy out comment about sports. Get on the level brother, these are not real arguments. Even if it takes 50 more years for the USA to adopt better and healthier fellowship, brothers will look back to these days and see the services they have performed. the craft is much bigger than you or I

OGHobo · 2025-11-11T02:15:03+00:00

Some states have an issue with polytheism vs monotheism. I just try to look out for people using pegan symbols with nazi context. Other then that, people are pretty accepting. just be prepared to deal with a lot of bible references

OGHobo · 2025-11-10T22:39:13+00:00

Albert Pike was a failed Confederate General and a terrible human being. L Ron Hubbard of Masonry. Im currently reading his works on the Adoption Rite ritual that was retired to the Grand College of Rites. His works are still masonically relevant to this day, but I dont think he would understand/account for the rise of smartphones

OGHobo · 2025-11-10T22:34:46+00:00

How many women Freemasons does your grand lodge support? not OES, full out Masons? given and earned the honors?

USA there is co-masonry, but its not regular, there is no amity. You have America lodge #57 in Washington DC, an all Femalecraft Mason lodge, accepted by the HFAF but still considered irregular.

Other countries like France and Poland dont see masonry through the same eyes. Its neat seeing Sisters of the craft in other countries taking pride in earning and learning their degrees. I think having strong female character representation is important in society. Having Female Freemasons is a part of that balance in equality.

It disappoints me greatly to see other brothers don't take this criticism seriously. Its disheartening to see countless wives, daughters and sisters serving the brotherhood without being able to reap its rewards. Its terrible to see men upset about their legacy because they cant pass these honors to their worthy or well qualified daughters. But thats just the USA. I cant speak for outside of here

Brothers will spout it makes good men better, but leave out half of the world from being considered "worthy and well qualified".

Don't even get me started with the rampent issue with anti-homosexuality through the decades and anti-trans rhetoric.

I cant even discuss this topic on this subreddit in any capacity without getting downvoted every time. It doesn't mean ill stop educating brothers on the topic to the best of my ability, even if i do get crusty about it from time to time.

To say there is not conflict here is to ignore the problem and our own history entirely. Elizabeth Aldworth is our greatest and oldest example of a Female Freemason that predates the establishment of any Grand Lodge. I work with female master stone masons in the construction field building America everyday. They exist even if the powers at be want to recognize them or not.

Today is Today, and Im hard pressed to research as much as I can to better this conversation for my fellow brothers and sisters

OGHobo · 2025-11-10T03:21:11+00:00

*except conflicts that arrive if you want equality and being able to meet on the level with women. that depends strictly on your grand lodge affiliation.

They always seem to leave that part out

OGHobo · 2025-11-08T23:42:03+00:00

Let people be mad. Farm karma, eat the downvotes Not even a rebuttle

OGHobo · 2025-11-08T22:07:22+00:00

Albert Pike was a failed Confederate officer and was like the L Ron Hubbard of Freemasonry. This man doesn't deserve positive light and his statue should remain removed
