Episode 5: The Master Mason Degree. Education by Rubicon Masonic Society.

"Discovering Freemasonry" is an 8-part series presented by Rubicon Masonic Society which is an invitation only private group of Master Mason Freemasons located in Lexington, KY. The purpose of Rubicon Masonic Society is to establish a deeper understanding and connection with Freemasonry, its traditions and practices, and further cementing the brotherhood of its members and guests through conviviality and unity outside of the lodge.
Brothers within Rubicon have worked diligently in order to provide attendees and viewers with a factual overview and introduction to the philosophy and principles of Freemasonry.
This is a not an educational program to detract from the initiatory experience nor to reveal passwords, grips, steps, or any part or parts of masonic ritual that is considered sacred or private.
Upon our studies and surveys in and outside of Rubicon, we have consistently learned that new and even veteran Masons were never provided an explanation of the fundamentals that can be delivered in a basic overview such as this…hence the birth of this series.

A journey and experience was one-of-a-kind mentally and physically and spiritually I'm self-taught nobody teaches me nothing only God teaches me how to rise Envision and visualize stuff everything is a sign from God when God wakes you up everyday it is a sign from God he's giving you life and light to secede

Thank you brothers. I thought I was on an Island in my desire to walk closer with God and understand the spiritual part of the masonic rituals and symbols. I am a traveling man from Wylie Texas #650.

Ironic, my favorite symbol is the beehive as well. I'm a Prince Hall Mason in GA. Our Master's Carpet is falling apart. Do you know where we can purchase a new one? Any guidance will be appreciated. Ours is the same trestle board you had displayed
