Spooky Rituals of The Freemasons | The Freemasons Explained 

What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul- Jesus Christ.

Yeah, as for me, I love my Christianity and faith in God. He doesn't tell me to keep secrets but to go and tell everyone of the GOOD NEWS... Amen!

“For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.” - Luke 8:17 (KJV)

My uncle was a member for decades. His brother mentioned how he was involved. I asked my uncle about it and he gave me a scripted response. My uncle always told me everything. Really weird that he was mum on this. He passed away last year. He gave a grandson his masonic ring and the lodge paid his funeral in full. Even had a masonic coffin. From that day on I've been so interested in knowing why and how they did all this. My other uncle (his brother) swore it was a cult, as he was in it for a short time. He left saying it wasn't for him.

The comments of any video about Freemasons is more entertaining than the video itself

My dad was a freemason and so is my uncle.. when I was about 15 or 16 he gave me the black book to look at as I flicked through it was just verses like the bible but when I got to the centre it had pictures of the Egyptian gods like ra I said what's all that about and he just took the book off me and said I could join when I was 18.. I gave a quick no thanks dad you told me not to be in gangs 🙄

I was little boy in Langford BC Canada in the late 60's-70's ! my grandfather was British and was a engineer in WW-2 there was a masonic hall in R very small town ! I was told by my mother he was a very high senior member ! this subject was never talked about at all ! when I was about 7 we walked by the lodge and I asked him why there's never people there ! he told me there the watchers from England ! to take care of us ! I said why ! he smiled and said ask you R favoring why?

"Meaning cannot be maintained unless boundaries are upheld and definable forms kept separate from each other."

I don’t trust a single person on this earth anymore. How can I trust what this guy is saying? I trust God. That is it.

An excellent history and understanding. Thank you

Really good video on revealing to me some points on this. My nephew told me that he joined the Freemasons and with that, l became curious as to what he does there! Oh, I'm not interested in joining but don't favor his decision much either.

"I did not know I was a slave until I found out that I CANNOT DO the things I wanted." -- Frederick Douglas

Self taught is the most reliant & trustworthy way to gain wisdom, not from another man teaching u to walk backwards for decades at a time! Time will always repeat itself 🤔

Thank you for your work, ..I don't have nothing to do tonight ... kinda bored. I guess I'll see what's up with this.. 😊

I heard the eastern star were the womens group. The rainbows was the group for the teenage girls. And the demolays was the group for the teenage boys. When I was a sophomore in early 1960s I was "rushed" to join the rainbow girls,but didn't know anything about any of that but my dad told me no. Don't know what my dad knew if anything,he just didn't think that was necessary.

It's like you ask a team that make conspiracies if it's true,they will deny it and they will show you proof that they are good.

When we were about 13 four of us went in the mysterious local/ lodge church or whatever it was called back when nobody locked their doors, we thought it was the KKK or something weird and that they did human sacrifices, they had an altar type thing with three thrones in there, we played around and when people pulled into the parking lot we hid under those chairs, the legs were wrapped with cloth. A few guys were milling about and when they went into the back room we took off running out the front door, they chased us down the street to the creek and we escaped.🤣🤣🤣 Old guys too out of shape to catch us one guy looked like Boss Hogg, It was spooky.

People see, what they want to see, and believe, what they want to believe. A fine Way to exit a Well made video 👏

This is probably the best video about Freemasonry on RU-vid

What an incredibly educated man!! Thank you for this..

Wow, the comment section is damn near more intriguing than the video 🙂🍿😳🤯😱

One could, of course, reach a better understanding of the situation by not only questioning others’ beliefs but also putting one’s convictions to skeptical scrutiny,

Thank you, this is very informative and well organized. My father was a free mason for quite a long time but I never understood what it really was and he never elaborated upon it. The symbol with a G in the middle is vividly in my memory, he had a ring with a blue stone bearing that symbol in the center. I find it interesting considering my parents are from Bosnia/Croatia and catholicism is prominent, especially in my family yet free mason beliefs are incompatible and a grave sin according to the church. Considering his quality of character in my youth, I don't have a good impression of what he actually learned from the lodges he attended. It was by any means a priority for personal wealth all the way to the end. Thanks again for the overview

Lavish B was here , blessed like always .

You were the most accurate person I learned from since 1988

It's so very much entertaining listening to the " knowledgeable " "experts in Freemasonry "

My dad is a Freemason, old man now but won’t tell me or anyone more. I have a doorbell and I know it’s him because he knocks 3 times. I’ve tried so hard to get more info about his time (he’s nearly 80) but he won’t. It’s very mysterious.

Thanks for this concise, and very interesting video on this subject. My Dad was a Freemason in Pasadena, CA. My Sister said that one of the members had a house fire, and lost everything. She said Dad asked her, and my other Sister, to pick a good toy to have him take as a helping present for this member's family who lost all. I liked the fact that his lodge played the bagpipes at his funeral. I still cannot listen to Amazing Grace at all, especially on bagpipes. I do love bagpipes however. Thanks, cheers.

My father died of cancer forty-three years ago. He was only forty-six and a thirty-second degree freemason. During his six month rapid decline to death, they were around all the time, giving financial and emotional support. When he died, his whole family died; that is, to the masons, we were no longer of interest. They didn't take care of my mother at all, in any shape, many, or form, nor did any one of them become a role model to me, a twelve year old boy. They stopped all association with us. I quickly learned that I wanted no part of a group of supposed Christian men who abandoned us. I will always respect my father, for he was a hard-working, Christian brick-layer and tile-setter who loved us, but, with all respect to him, he was associated with a group of people and an organization that should be ashamed of themselves. God has steered my life and given me strength and opportunity to be successful and a good husband, father, and grandfather. My blessings coming from God, through Jesus Christ, and I have no secrets. This entire group is built on secrecy, selective membership, blood oath loyalty, and threats of violence and death to those who would betray it. Sounds like the tenants of the Aryan Brotherhood or some other prison/street gang. It's will never be for me, nor will I ever have any respect for it.

I think masonry is about building temples, especially one built without hands and not a sound heard. I think the symbols are for that purpose, but i do not belong to any masonic lodges, so i would be what he called a cowan. I saw one picture of a woman crying over a broken collum and an ancient old man standing behind her. Still trying to figure that out. I had a couple of uncles that were masons but would not tell me anything about it. One uncle did say one time that when one was situated in the light that their was no darkness. I was just a child then. He is dead now, i really miss him, he was a great man. Anyway i think you should meet a man on the level and part on the square. But what do i know, my ignorance is the greatest thing about me. AUM- Ruach Adonai

Absolutely brilliant video covering some of the more challenging topics and aspects of The Craft - largely historically on point, exceedingly evenhanded and levelheaded presentation! Bravo!

Great narration and presentation. 👏

Thankyou for that informative video, it was very interesting.

This is a well presented, neutral and balanced introduction to a very deep subject. This documentary provides a good foundation base for any student wishing to start a deeper investigation of the subject or a particular strand mentioned. One missing element is the spurious connection with Druidry as many lodges in the UK take druidic names, but otherwise, excellent. Thank you.

Very well done video which is very informative. Thank you so much for sharing!

He goes hard on the "h's". Its like family guy with "cool hhhwhhhip". Love it. Thanks for the information.

Official history says that the people of France donated the statue of liberty to America, to celebrate friendship, a century of freedom, etc. the fact is that French people did not know about it, France was in a deep financial crisis then; It was the freemasonic government who ‘donated’ the statue, thus cementing their universal brotherhood of men!!! Bartholdi, Eiffel, etc. were all freemason brothers

I have my grandpas Freemason pins and cuff links. I never knew him. He died before I was born. But from what I was told he was an amazing man. He moved his wife’s whole family from Korea and paid for it all. He loved his son(my dad) and spoiled him to no end. His military paperwork notes his membership in the Freemasons.

That was a very neat ending 👏🙌 Thank you!

Min. 8: The original Mason Masters have never been only "craftsmen", but carried millenium old knowledge about space shaping and mindset creating through the means of consciously constructed architecture. Look at the gothic cathedrals or the egyptian temples: They're buildt to uplift humans into divine realms! Their builders were highly skilled priests of holy stonework!

Ezekiel 8:12 (KJV) Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. Ezekiel 8:16 (KJV) And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Their Abominations have persisted.

My Dad was a mason. He had well meaning Christian trying to convert him from the evils of Masonry. It made my skin crawl. All my dad would say is “you don’t know what you are talking about.” Is my father in hell? I hope not. My hope is in Christ. This is a good explanation of free masonry. Of course he never revealed any of the rituals to me. I never understood it. He would only discuss morals and principles for life. He was a good man and an excellent father.

🤣😂🤣 yep, every phrase, every idea, everything you said is the truth. Please keep spreading the light. 👍🏻

Idries Shah gives an excellent dissertation on the origins of Freemasonry as an ancient Order of Sufi, revived in the eighth century by the mysterious Sufi mystic Dhul-Nun, in his book "The Sufis". Many of the symbols of Freemasonry, such as the checkerboard carpet, are commonly used in other Sufi traditions, confirming the connection.

The Freemasons - never forget some of their members, from "Kramer" on Seinfeld to John Wayne, davy Crocket, Geo Washington and sooooooo many politicians, doctors, actors, musicians, poets, war heroes...

Great video thank you

Psalm 133: How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Wisdom 8:7 And if one prizes righteousness, the fruits of her labors are virtues. For she teaches temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude, and nothing in life is of more value for men than these.

Great Explanation!

For those interested, please read The Hiram Key by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas.

This is a well-researched, objective, and even handed treatment of freemasonryhistory. Just what I was looking for!!! Thank you!!!!!

It’s an easy connection from geometry and “magical seals” - regarding spheres of influence within a system, whether astrology / keys of Solomon / degrees of Kevin Bacon / consciousness / science - just seemed like it was mentioned without any contemplation of significance.

This topic would be a great mini series in the style of Game of Thrones

I worked for a company (in England) where it became known that *all* the managers were Freemasons. I presume that the CEO was an enthusiastic Freemason (and probably a "control freak"), whose policy was to employ only Freemasons as managers. My understanding is that such a policy is contrary to the principles of Freemasonry. I believe this policy created a weakness because recruitment of technically competent managers was difficult to achieve since the choice of possible candidates was thereby diminished. The clandestine nature of the company became known (but only to a few) when the CEO recruited an ordinary member of staff to the management. Thus it became necessary for this person to become a Freemason. The new recruit told just one person what he had done. And the news spread. I came to regard the management as rather evil. They adopted a policy of firing most of the factory staff (typically humble housewives) and replacing them with ethnic Indians who were bussed-in every day from west London. I had conversations with some of these people who told me, indiscretely, that most of this intake were illegal immigrants. So the CEO was a crook as well as a Freemason. The question I ask is: Why would anyone seek to join an organisation whose aims and purpose remains a secret until *after* they have joined? Surely it is not self interest? Surely it is not in the expectation of personal advancement?

You never know how rich you can be until you see what the rich have stolen from you ! Nietzsche

This video was informative and actually brought some clarity to disinformation about the lodge. People fear and distrust what they don't know or misunderstand.

A very well researched & presented unbiased overview of Freemasonry by a non-mason......I enjoyed it very much, and thank the authors for showing its various elements so well....

Great video

The secrets of Freemasonry only come to those who do the work. You can't read them from a book, bideo, etc.. If you don't do the work, there is no secret to be learned, nothing to be gained. Read all you want, watch all the videos, but the real secrets are only unearthed by those in the brotherhood doing the work.. Unfortunately, there are lots of brothers not doing the work these days, but I do sense a change as younger men with inquisitive minds and a passion for learning are joining more frequently.

As a freemason glad you did your research, it's a relief to actually put in perspective what we are about

Awesome video very educative and well expressed.

Everyone should watch the jimmy kimmel interview he did with Jim cary 6 years ago, Jim exposed it. But everyone thought he was nuts

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

As a mason i enjoyed the nuances and percepective of this video, its well researched but it has a lot of persinal opinion aswell no? In all cases like the doctor stated its a house of many rooms, what i say free masonery needs a bit of reform nowadays and to be like days of old a bit more selective, thank yiu fir a very nice video

They are so full of rituals and vows. A lot of people are clueless and wrong about them.

I could listen to this dude talk all day

Intelligent fluent presentation. Thank you

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Great video. I’m currently reading Manly P. Hall’s book The Secret Teachings Of All Ages. Very interesting book, he describes secret societies, like the Masons, as having a exoteric and esoteric sides of the organization. Basically, the normal and the secret side.

freemasonry is a craft, like witchcraft is a craft. jesus said 'i preached openly in the temple' and said things like 'who puts a light under a bed, and not on a hill so that all can see?'

Minute 1:22 "and buried in the sea at low tide. As done to William Morgan. Because he wrote of the first three degrees with permission. Thurlow Weed in his autobiography said the Knights Templar Freemason' kidnapped Morgan and they confessed so to him. (Thurlow became the founding of The Anti Masonic Party. Which lasted free of Masons about as long as it took to read this sentence.)..Oddly Morgan's wife later married Joseph's Myth the Mormon prophet. But she was already married to Mr Harris and JS was rooming with them. Later when Joe made up the Mormon Endowment Ceremony he used the same oaths and ritual shown here. At first they cut the flesh, but the girls complained so that was stopped. Now the emblems are in the magic Mormon underwear. ( After JS death Lucinda Morgan Harris Smith underwent the Mormon endowment ceremony and married Joe for Eternity and Mr Harris for "Time" as we learn in The Nauvoo Endowment Ceremonies). Minute 9:25 in Mormonism it's "As man now is god once was as god now is man may become. There is Adam=God Doctrine, but this system is so tough that even meat eating Mormons eschew it. So to speak.

He is unfortunately correct that not all masons were good people. Unfortunately there are those that see our order as a vessel for personal gain and not for original intent which is faith hope and charity. This is why we have masonic trials to weed out the undesirables.

Thanks 🙏 for the explanation 😊

Very great, well researched and analysed presentation.

I really appreciate your well researched lectures. You are a great Professor.

Great this information is something I have wished for over the years

We need this for women, desperately seeking brotherhood sisterhood especially at this paticular time in life. Maybe this reminds me of meetings

When I was a young man I'd kid Freemasons friends about why I'd never join a secret group like them . I'd ask "how do I know I am not joining a group like the K K K if you don't know ahead if time? What if I get in and can't get out? " Of course I knew better but it was fun.

As usual they mention the oath and swearing never to divulge the secrets etc., they never refer to the part where the candidates swears to" UPHOLD THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH HE RESIDES" Is that part bad as well?

my friend died 10 days of a heart attack after his initiation into the 33rd degree. wonder if the rituals can be kind of rough, emotionally .

I've seen many documentaries and shows regarding the Free Masons and think the one sentence in this documentary sums it up well, "it's not one thing but many things". In my early teens, I was part of a group that was associated with the Free Masons which were called the "Rainbow Girls" which, if the individual wanted to continue in this "club", would be granted entrance into the "Eastern Stars" (which were the female counterparts of the Masons). I didn't stay long in group, I really didn't understand all of the symbolism and references so I left after about a year. Having been in it for such a short period of time, I can't recall much of my time spent with the group. The counter group for teenage boys was called the "Demolays" who would be granted entrance as a Mason when they reached adulthood. I've never seen much mentioned about these other groups associated with the Masons but would love it if someone did a documentary on it.

There's a great deal of Wikipedia-research level misinformation here. For example, the idea that the US is divided up into jurisdictions of Freemasonry based on the "AF&AM" vs "A&FM" designation is nonsense. There is a completely autonomous and sovereign Grand Lodge per state in the US (in many parts of the world it's by country) and there are a few other systems at play as well. There are some Women's Grand Lodges and also a few French-style Le Droit Humain Lodges that operate under foreign dispensations, and there is the Prince Hall system of Freemasonry that descends from the historically segregated "African Lodges" that are now the continuation of the traditions and culture developed in those Lodges. But none of this has to do with the letters after the name which have more to do with how the particular Grand Lodge was formed.

Do not know if the teacher is a Freemason but his understanding is profound on the subject. If you listened closely you get a strong ideal of the "personality" of Freemasonry especially after the healing between the Ancients and the Moderns.

I really like how certain parts of the initiation description are incorrect. very close.. but not exact.

Great presentation!

This video reminds me of the time I thought about joining the Democratic Party.

This is crazy.. ive seen people w rings hats and everything and I always check them and they just laugh never go into detail

My Father's maternal grand Father was a Mason ,he was a mail carrier in Baltimore ,MD for 40 yrs .

Excellent video!!!

Why do they call themselves free when they have to hide away?

An Africa citizens born and bred in Africa continent that established Freemason in Year BC during time of Ancient Egypt when ancient Egypt was going off track. An higher officers in ranks came to lobby with ancient N' ile ife or Nile, ancient Benin, ancient Nubia. A military chief of Staff of Supreme Head quarters General Oranmiyan founded a secret society known as Freemason lunched a military coup d'etat to overthrow Pharaoh and his administration department. That was the First military coup d'etat in the World ever Registered in the World, planned and succeeded to get rid of Pharaoh at that time. Oranmiyan became the first interim Pharaoh in the World. For New transition to reappointed new Pharaoh to take over from interim Pharoah Oranmiyan... Oranmiyan is originally the father and founder of Freemason known today established in year BS for a great direct purpose to get rid of kings or Queens or to correct them when they go wrong. For example, the British European Rulers and british european elites are Greatest International Theives of all times in the World. That is why freemason was established. During the time of King David in holy Bible, holy Torah, holy Quran. The Freemason passed Judgement upon king David at that time. When he was misbehaved badly... The Three important Wise men in the holy Bible are Freemason came up to Jesus and his parents, gave them supporting advice to go to ancient Egypt to hide from the enemies. .

This is extremely informative. Thank you

The masons never had rituals they only worked with concrete. What do you think a mason does resize build buildings

Did you know that when Lucifer strove against God, God slammed him down. God's power looked like lightning: "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."-Luke 10:18 Satanists are really ignorant to attribute the lightening bolt to Satan, seeing as how it's a sign of his total DEFEAT. Here are Satanists that use the lightning bolt to show their allegiance to satan: -Anton Zandor LaVey (Founder of the first church of satan has a pentagram with the lightning bolt in the center) -KISS band means "Kings In Satan's Service", the "SS" are lightning bolts -Marilyn Manson (Circle with lightning bolt) -ACDC (lightning bolt between the C & D) -NAZI SS (SS are lightning bolts) -Pearl Jam (Eye with lighting bolt) -Lady Gaga (painted lighting bolt over one eye) -Harry Potter (scar on forehead) Satan has no power that can equal God's, but that's what Satan does, he steals credit "The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook."-psalm 77:18 "13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 14Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them."-Psalm 18:13 I would learn symbols if I were you, so that you would know what people are about in a moment's notice. This is why Egyptians used hieroglyphics, because images are processed faster than words. It takes longer to gain information by reading than it is to look at a picture, hence: "A picture is worth a thousand words" The reason occultists use symbols is to communicate without words in plain sight and the unlearned are none the wiser. It stems back to the tower of Babel. Nimrod wanted to reach heaven without God, so he started building a tall tower. Then God confused their language so that they couldn't finish the project because they couldn't understand what one another was saying, but they could understand the same symbols. And that's what the satanic freemasons base their fraternities on, they are known as "the builders", and they use occult symbols and handshakes to communicate. If you are a freemason, know that you will not be going to heaven. God told you not to make oaths, and he never spoke in secret. The leaders of Freemasonry, Albert Pike, Eliphas Levi, Manly Palmer Hall, already wrote that the god of Freemasonry is Lucifer, which is satan's angelic name before his fall, so YOU are without excuse. Everytime I see black people with the freemason symbol (square and compass) on the back of their cars, I get second hand embarrassment for them, because Albert Pike started the KKK. How ignorant do you have to be? Many don't know this, but Martin Luther King Jr. was not a real Christian preacher. If you'll listen to his preachings, they are not Biblical, they are philosophical. He was teaching freemason doctrines. He died because the Freemasons didn't want him to find out they were using him to control the black population. This is why Martin Luther King Jr. was seen in hell. Well known satanist Aleister Crowley was a 95th degree Freemason. Bill Schnoebelen was a 90th degree Freemason, but he got out by the blood of Christ. He is now a Christian. He exposes Freemasonry, grand druids, Mormonism, and much more in his 9 hour interview with Stefanie Relfe. If Schnoebelen can leave the fraternal order, you can too. It doesn't matter what you've done, God can forgive you of all your sins. As long as you are alive on earth, you have chance to repent. When you give your life to Jesus, you make Him Lord. When you confess your sins to Him, you make Him your savior. Call on Jesus. Even if you have "sold your soul" to the devil, Jesus can save you. Stephen Dollins sold his soul, became a satanic high priest, and then later on became a Christian. The devil condemned him over and over telling him he already sold his soul, so Dollins thought he couldn't be saved. Then one night Dollins had a dream of Jesus Christ. The Lord walked though hell, took keys out of satan's hand and said "HE'S MINE NOW". The Lord showed this dream to Stephen Dollins to prove to him that he is saved. Remember that the devil is a liar, since the beginning he lied to Eve and told her she'd never die, which was a lie, their mortality clock started when they ate the forbidden fruit. Satan said they'd be like Gods, but Adam & Eve were already made in the image of God. Satan said it would open their eyes, but Adam & Eve already had all the knowledge they can ask for, because they walked face to face with the creator, they could ask Him anything. But because of the serpent, Adam & Eve lost these three things: eternal life, infinite Knowledge & truth, being children of God. That's why Jesus Christ, the creator, the Son of God, came in human form to give those three things back to mankind, it's what Satan stole. And yet freemasons, satanists, wiccans, grandmasters, witchdoctors are serving the grand enemy of their souls, the one who stole from them. It's time to cast the enemy out of your house and rerurn to the true love of your life. Jesus is the true LIGHT, Lucifer is the counterfeit.

The way secret things are are of a spiritual nature. Ephesians 6:12. Praise God through Jesus pray for me and pray against the kingdom of darkness and witchcraft and secret covens

How can I get this information in documents form and if possible a PowerPoint presentation? It's very important to me!

Mm ,but this isn't how it's done in my state but it's a charitable brotherhood. All we do is fundraiser and donate,believe what you want.

The great philosopher in the person of Socrates is the stone worker means a Mason 500 b. C. And so with the legendary King Solomon and Hiram abif.

His definition of "Secret Society" would include most marriages.

Thanks for this video. Very good

Nice piece of deep research
