Can I become a Freemason?
Yes, you can become a Freemason if you meet certain qualifications. Freemasonry welcomes men of good character who believe in a Supreme Being. According to Masonic principles, a candidate must be of lawful age (typically 18 or 21, depending on the jurisdiction), of good repute, and freeborn. Additionally, a sincere desire to improve oneself and contribute positively to society is essential.
The process to join involves expressing interest, being proposed and seconded by existing Masons, and undergoing an investigation and ballot. As stated in Carl H. Claudy's work, "Freemasonry gives her all – and it is a great gift – to those she accepts. But she gives only to those who honestly desire the gift". If you feel you meet these criteria and are drawn to the principles of Freemasonry, the path to membership is open for you to explore.
