| How does Freemasonry teach? Freemasonry teaches through the use of signs and rituals. The rituals of Masonry have developed over centuries and contain beautiful language and ideas expressed in symbols. Masons learn through a series of lessons. These "degrees" of insight move from basic to more complex concepts. This no more hides the nature of Freemasonry from novice members than does having a student understand fractions before calculus. |

| What is the difference between a Shriner and a Mason? Lodge members may join other Masonic-related organizations outside of their Mother Lodge. Such groups include the York Rite Orders (the Royal Arch Masons, Cryptic Masons and the Knights Templar), the Scottish Rite, the Shrine, and the Order of the Eastern Star. All Shriners are Masons but not all Masons are Shriners. One must first join a Blue Lodge and receive the three degrees of Masonry. Then he may join the Shrine.
