    Masonic ritual origins and meanings

    So it's ok for a Wiccan to become a Freemason and their god is an acceptable deity, but a Freemason can't join a Wiccan group? That rule, seemingly, governs the rituals of the masonic lodge only. What if the Master is not administering or causing the rite to be, but is in a subordinate...

    I have definately noticed the avatar change, I mentioned it one day. I not sure what the inspiration for this choice is?

    Thanks Mike They must not be breaking the rules. One told me that the OTO were leaving the temple as the Masons were going in and the masons mentioned something about the OTO having the same regalia. Head of the Blue Lodge is an occultist, imagine that.

    It really was worthless information. I didnt mean degree. I simply forgot the specific position, office or whatever the official title he used was. It really wasn't important to me. Masons have too many Masters for me to keep track of. There is apparently some level or position a mason must...

    To tell you the truth, I can't quite remember what one of them said. The mason has to hold some position in order for them to share the masonic temple. I can ask him though if it's important to you?

    Actually i said level. Do you remember me asking you what the name of the church you preached in was?

    One thing I do need to correct, they said that eventhough Masonry and the OTO have some parallel degrees, when a Mason joins the OTO he has to start at the first degree. One guy who is in the OTO, but not a mason, said that he plans to join masonry and will have to start at the blue lodge.

    None of that is true. When I say Mason I mean mason. When I say OTO member I mean OTO member. Trust me, I know the difference, it's pretty simple. I've quoted from the books of Freemasons, not OTO members though their literature are often one in the same as is their regalia.

    I'm not going to tell you which lodge specifically they belong to. They provide me with all the information I need and I don't want you reporting them, at least not yet. You wouldn't even tell me the name of the CHURCH in which you preach. I stand behind my words that they are recognized...

    It's much the same thing a Wiccan might practice and you openly allow them to join masonry.] Obviously, the god of Wicca must be consistent with the deity of Freemasonry. As I've stated before, the O.T.O. member who coined the term Wicca was also a Freemason.

    It's not imposible, it is a fact! There ARE masons in the OTO today. These masons perform magick and have sexual rituals, which they say honors the generative forces. Your books contain these same principles of sun worship. Why you think masons are not actually learning and putting into...

    I read it again, and I still know of occultic masons, practicing magicians, in the OTO.

    Nope they aren't hiding anything there. I was just wondering if you heard anything about the place, it seems popular among some masons across the US. But speaking of hiding things, check out this masonic forum. I thought it was kind of funny...

    Cwebber I know that the O.T.O. is an independent body. I'm just saying they have masons in the group. One must be at least a Worshipful Master level in order for them to have access to the masonic temple.
