    Fellow Craft

    Last night I did my second-degree work for Fellow Craft and as I was getting ready my sponsor said, “I understand you wear kilts, well, there is a Scottish Rite lodge in Salina and we’ll just have to get you down there once you finish your third degree”.

    Congratulations Brother and - Right on! But I should warn you that the Scottish Rite has little if anything to do with wearing kilts.

    I am also happy to say that I am getting ever closer to having enough of my Lodge members ready to do a kilted degree. That should be a photo to cherish!

    I used to visit my son's lodge in Edinburgh (44, Lodge of St. Luke) and it was not uncommon for most of the Brothers to be kilted. Quite an impressive sight, so look forward to seeing pictures of your kilted degree. (My own lodge in Dublin is, I believe, the only lodge in the world granted a lodge uniform by the Sovereign. And yes, we still wear it.)

    Ok, I am completely ignorant about these things, but I enjoy an education when the opportunity is available. You guys are talking about Masons right? What exactly is the function and how does one get involved? Just curiosity on my part.

    There are 5 lodges in Springfield MO. Google Missouri Grand Lodge. input springfield. Click on the choices to find the lodge closest to you. If I lived closer, I would be honored to sign your membership petition.

    The best introduction to the subject of Free Masonry (for those in the USA) is the IDIOT'S GUIDE TO FREE MASONRY which will answer your questions, dispel most of the myths, and hopefully encourage you to become a brother to the many Masons here on X Marks the Scot.

    Freemasonry for Dummys is a good one too.

    That's the correct title of the book I mentioned ... (I should never post anything before my second cup of tea).

    just ask one to be be one. Check the phone book in your area under Lodges. Or find the Grand Lodge in your state. It is an honorable group and we are not trying to take over the world.
