A place for Freemasons (and non-freemasons) to discuss the fraternity. No spam, no conspiracy theories, or bashing others. This is not a tyled area.

There are, how many, different additional degrees? Dozens, hundreds? It gets mind-numbing. Should Masonry focus on just a few (just Blue lodge), or keep it fractured?

Blue lodge, Royal Arch, Commandery, Knights Masons, etc etc

I fell down the rabbit hole years ago joining IDK how many different bodies until it just became ridiculous.

The appendant bodies aren’t a fracturing of freemasonry. Blue lodge is freemasonry and the others will forever be the accessory. Blue lodge is fractured along all sorts of lines: geographically, racially, sexually, and even ritually.

I’m not sure about consolidate, but I also went down the rabbit hole once and all the appendant bodies I joined didn’t add anything so I demitted from all, and now just craft lodge for me.
