You will be a Prince Hall Free Mason.
Why what's the point?
any mason in here, speak as as you will on the esoteric/mystical teachings available within freemasonry. PM me if youd rather.
@Schmoove
I won't discuss anything of such on the Coli, but I will say that almost everything is on the internet.
I say "almost" because you can read EVERYTHING and still not understand a damn thing.
Search away sir.
My brother is one, and he is a shady, conniving motherfukker by nature.
They actually recruited him, so take that for what you will
The Black Community in the United States, more than any other group it seems, has been beset by the shams of 'fraudulent' Masonry. The material below will be more understandable by Americans who know the racial divide of their country than by those where men of all colors and creeds have always stood together as Masons.
As invariable happens though, hucksters and opportunists observed the respect with which the Black community held up Freemasonry - and they determined to gain as a result. Gain they did, through the formation of 'make-believe' Masonic groups - created out of thin air, sometimes by disgruntled or overly ambitious ex-Masons and sometimes by those looking to make a quick buck. Following in the tradition where Prince Hall led his lodge/grand lodge for a lifetime, those lodges which drew their heritage from that source likewise had Grand Masters whose grip on the reigns of leadership would extend for decades, thus chafing the more aggressive who themselves wanted to be in charge.
nudge me a direction, with a title
Whats your degree if you dont mind me asking.
I would suggest talking to someone you know personally who is a mason. Let them guide you in the right direction.
Don't let this thread die brehs
Have you found a lodge close to you yet?
I did before this thread was even made, I reached out to the grand lodge and a brother was kind enough to contact some local lodges who in turn reached out to me and were very welcoming.
Lodge was right under my nose all my life and I had no idea it existed.
I've just been anxious lately about the first meeting
