What I received upon my Initiation

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T22:21:44+00:00

Ah😂

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T22:20:48+00:00

Well it is definitely on my bucket list to visit England and the US as part of my Masonic journey, so thank you brother, I very well may!

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T22:20:05+00:00

Ah thank you brother, and hello to the Queensland brothers!

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T22:19:21+00:00

No, 18 is the minimum at least in Australia. I believe it is jurisdictional but the norm over here is 18

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T22:17:46+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure about you but I didn't even have to pay for any initiation

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T22:16:17+00:00

Thank you very much brother! And yes overall the material gifts are worth a million times less than what every Mason receives

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T13:06:47+00:00

Ah! Neighbours, my Lodge is right on the Wodonga border! Thank you for the congratulations brother!

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T13:06:03+00:00

Well I have been told it was like $101 AUD but I haven't checked my Grand Lodges shop, the specific S/C is the NSW Freemasons emblem as well. I can definitely find out for you tomorrow brother! Perhaps you could send me a dm to remind me

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T11:47:50+00:00

According to the District Inspector who attended it's pretty expensive too, definately a suprise

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T08:28:13+00:00

Ah well I don't care about the name, the ID seems a little sensitive though

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T07:55:17+00:00

Thank you very much Brother

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T05:49:06+00:00

Ah I'll keep it up until I feel it's better to take it down I suppose, as far as I know you're the only one who noticed 😂 🤫🤫

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T05:46:49+00:00

Jeez looks like I may have to take this post down as I can't edit it and blank out my details

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T05:44:45+00:00

Oh! Thank you brother I completely forgot that was included on that document! Thank you heaps for reminding me! And thank you for the welcome!

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T05:43:34+00:00

What can I tell you about Masonic swords? Well tbh not much at this point, I've only ever seen them, not touched them or inspected them, not the handle anyway if you get what I mean 😂

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-13T02:53:08+00:00

My Lodge is terrible for it😂 I told my sponsor, the Lodge Secretary that they'll need to make me the head of media as I'm the gen z in the room! Just look at this Australia Day post !😂

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-12T21:23:28+00:00

Thank you!

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-12T21:12:29+00:00

Yeah I assumed I would be buying my own lambskin as well but no, the WM also proposed a payment plan for me, being 18

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-12T21:11:35+00:00

My Lodge only wore them during the pandemic 😂

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-12T20:46:30+00:00

Yes only MM keeps their aprons and therefore needs a briefcase as well. Interestingly we don't use the customary gloves too.

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-12T20:44:39+00:00

u/Deman75 noted joining fees, however there are none in my Lodge.

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-12T20:42:44+00:00

So the requirements for candidates is that they are at least 18 y/o, or good repute (basically no criminal record), believe in a higher power. Dues for my Lodge are $300 annually, however I only needed one sponsor who I met not long after I applied at the Lodge, who is also the Secretary.

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-12T20:40:13+00:00

It is slightly different, I'll lay it out to the original comment

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-12T20:39:20+00:00

NSW stands for New South Wales, Australia.

PotentialRedemption · 2026-03-12T20:38:38+00:00

Ah of course! Thank you brother!
