[edit] Wiki-member Mason Example
Here is what one wiki-member User:Chiramabi says: "I am a very active Freemason, a member of both the York Rite and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction, as well as the Order of Knight Masons, York Rite College, Tall Cedars of Lebanon, Grotto, Scottish Rite Research Society and the Philalethes Society. I am also a Senior DeMolay.
Outside of my Masonic activities I am a student of the esoteric arts. I study Kabbalah, gnosticism, rosicrucianism, alchemy, and other mystic and arcane fields. This has greatly contributed to my worldview."
And people defend freemasonry and say that it is not occultic!
[edit] Masonic Oath Example
The Scottish Rite Third-Degree Master Mason oath (emphasis added)
This commits the oath-taker to commit murder, if necessary:
I do promise and swear upon the Holy Bible never to reveal where I have received this degree . . . and in failure of this I consent to have my body opened perpendicularly and to be exposed for eight hours in the open air, so that the venomous flies may eat my entrails, my head to be cut off and put on the highest pinnacle of the world, and I will always be ready to inflict the same punishment on those who shall disclose this degree and break this obligation. So may God help and maintain me. Amen.
