It never has been, and was never meant to be. We do indeed have secrets-secrets that each individual man has to discover for and about himself. For each man, it can become as simple or as complicated as he himself desires. Modern Freemasons likewise use the tools, traditions and terminology of those Biblical stonemasons as allegories for building Temples in the hearts of men, using Solomon as our ideal example of wisdom, justice and faith.Īt its core, Freemasonry is simply an attempt to make the world a better place, one man at a time. King Solomon was considered to be the wisest and most just man in history, and the temple he had built to God was said to be the holiest place on Earth. Mythologically it is founded upon the building of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, as told in the Old Testament of the Bible. Historically, it is based on the Medieval stonemason guilds who built the great castles and cathedrals of Europe. Freemasonry is the largest, oldest and best-known gentleman's fraternity in the world.
