if i demit from the mother lodge and then have no lodges where i have membership, can i still visit other lodges, and what is the process of visiting other lodge since wont have any lodge membership. I am a master mason
A demitted or unaffiliated Mason does not possess the general right of visitation granted to active lodge members 121. By voluntarily resigning membership, an unattached brother relinquishes the regular rights and privileges of lodge organization, including the standard right to visit lodges 1.
Visiting rights for an unattached Mason are strictly limited rather than absolute. Under modern regulations, an unattached brother who holds no active lodge membership faces restricted visiting rights, such as limits on visiting the same lodge multiple times or for an extended duration without rejoining, as the United Grand Lodge of England states.
To gain admission into a lodge as a visitor, a brother must undergo a formal verification process. No visitor may be admitted unless he is personally known to and vouched for by a brother present, or upon due examination and the production of proper vouchers or certificates demonstrating initiation in a regular lodge, as the United Grand Lodge of England sets out. While an unaffiliated Mason remains bound by his general obligations and subject to the moral discipline of the Order 12, regular lodge visitation remains a privilege tied to active membership.
