So many of you know the scandalous secret society the free masons, and you being in this very page is to find out more about them. Conspiracy theories all over youtube claim that this secretive group holds powerful positions all across the world and is plotting to create a New World Order. Many believe that they have secret satanic rituals and are the cause of corruption and evil all across the world. Their association with some mysterious and occultists such as Albert Pike or Alleister Crowley is the cause of the havoc surrounding the Freemasons. But what really are they?
Freemasonry describes itself as a system of moralized, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. They would make you believe that they are simply organizations who although has secretive rituals, organize social and charitable events.. It is said that those of lower ranks or degrees have no idea what really is going on. It is as if they are living in a matrix and they are naïve as to what is to come. They may have joined as they were referred by someone else; recommended three times as the story goes. The image we typically get is of a naïve young man entering a lodge, pressured into wearing a special costume and partaking in a mysterious ritual; a ritual that’s meaning is unknown.
So what is the structure of this very secretive organization and what does it take to get to the top? Well, first you have to be recommended three times by a freemason before an interview takes place. In some jurisdictions, you have to have some belief in a deity or higher power. Other jurisdictions accept everyone and some like the Swedish rite only accept Christians. Why it is necessary to have faith in a higher power, particularly faith in Abrehemic religions could be because they themselves believe in a higher power in their own way. They have their own interpretations of biblical characters especially prophet Solomon.

It is known that there are 33 degrees of freemasonry. Upon entering each level, an initiation takes place with secret rituals and ceremonies where the member is entrusted with passwords, signs, and grips peculiar to this new rank.
These degrees can be divided into three categories; apprenticeship, fellowship, and master mason. There are various lodges all around the world but not a grand lodge that is governed internationally. Each lodge is independent and may not recognize the other as legitimate. When they are not organizing social and charitable events, they meet to confer a masonic degree or receive a lecture about masonic history or ritual.
So who do they follow and what are their secrets? Christians rely on bible stories that have become the allegory of morality; muslims rely on their Qur'an but the masons have one story that have become the basis of their organization. It is of the cheif architect of solomon's temple.

Hyram Abiff knew secrets that had been the cause of three men's envy. He supposedly knew the secrets of 'God's divine' plans. At noon each day, Hyram left the site to pray. One day three men stopped at each door of the temple each demanding Hyram's secrets. When Hyram approached the first man and was asked for the secret, he said he would tell when the temple is finished. Unfortunately for Hyram, his throat was slashed with a sharpened stone by the first man. When he attempted to escape and arrived at the next door, another man asked for the secrets. In return for not telling him, he struck him with a mason's square. The third man finally killed him upon not receiving the answer he was looking for. Then he cried out "Who will help the widowed son?" which became the universal cry for help from brother masons.
The moral of the story is hard to grasp but once you think through the tale clearly, you'll realize what Hyram had which others didn't. He was patient. He was wise enough to pinpoint who can handle the secrets he carries and he was committed to his word. Hyram was so committed to keeping his secrets that he died to protect it. In a similar way, the masons believe in secrecy and loyalty as members are forced to swear in oath. The items used in this very murder are what symbolizes freemasonry today.
One of their very rituals are based on this tale as they reenact the ritual murder of hyram. This is the recreation of the initiation rite of the master mason although the content varies with lodges.
Their true origins are questioned. But it is said that they are traced back to the stonemasons that built cathedrals in medieval Europe and they attempted to make them accordingly to the description of the Solomon's temple.
They knew many things about geometry, had favorable proportions and used many tools to build their structures. Freemasons adopted their handshakes but how they went from trade union to a secret society stays a mystery.
Many others have formed myths about them and stretched their history back to three thousand years ago to legendary white knights of the crusades who travelled to the holy land to protect Christian pilgrims called the Knights Templars. Upon travelling to Jeureselam, they have gained what many would refer to as secret knowledge or 'enlightenment.' They stayed at the Al Aqsa mosque which was built on top of the ruins of Jewish temples including the temple of Solomon. They housed their horses in Salomon's stables and was involved in cleaning out these areas often. It is said that they chose their stables to dig for buried treasure, Salomon's gold, plunder of ancient Rome and
the holy grail and the lost secrets of the ancient Jewish sect called the accedes whose strange rituals told how many men could communicate with god freely as king Solomon had.

What they found remains to be a mystery but when they returned to Europe, they had wide influence. They gained sponsorship of the church and expanded in number. They invented early forms of banking, the first multinational banking system and cathedrals and sites all over Europe. But they were only said to have met at night when outsiders were not allowed. Quickly, rumors spread that they were conducting strange rituals which seemed to have derived from the scrolls they found. Eventually king Philip of France gave orders to kill all of them all in one day. They were charged under the name of blasphemy and accused of spitting on the cross, worshiping a cat or a severed head and the god Baphomet. 
This all happened on Friday the thirteenth on 1307 which gave rise to the popular notion of the unlucky Friday the thirteenth.

It is said that they may have gone underground and formed secret societies since then and took their hidden knowledge and scrolls to the Roslyn chapels in the Scottish lowlands. Most think that the connection between the masons and the Knights Templars stems from the fact that masonic rituals explains how Solomon has met with their leading priests in the chambers underneath King Solomon's temples. Roslyn chapels contain exactly that.
