there are buildings throughout my town and state with the emblem proudly displayed, and i have seen them in other states as well, just not as often.
i know of a few things, since my grandfather was the chief legislator of his local branch.
in order to join, you must believe in a singular higher power, though the specifics of that power is not limited. this is often what fuels the rumors that many freemasons are luciferians or satanists..
they hold meetings and generally plot the goings on of their local communities. most of these meetings are harmless, but it is still a bit devious that these people are holding these meetings for the future and not disclosing the details to the subjects of the affected.
there are many loose affiliations that freemasonry holds with other, more secretive organizations, and it is hard to distinguish the hierarchy of these organizations because so many of them keep most of their information private.
there are initiation rites that members must undergo, and there are certain levels that they can attain by accomplishing certain things, of which i am not sure. i have heard that a lot of it has to do with empathic/spiritual ability via meditation, general knowledge of advanced logics and metaphysics as well as overall leadership ability.
