43. Initiations, rituals, blood curdling oaths & degrees
- 246 -
Now you have to bear in mind that these initiations, rituals and oaths are hundreds of years old, and are
still being practiced today in 2011, this is not something out of a 18th century novel, but a factual account
of what happens when you join the Freemasons. As you‘ll soon see, the majority of the forthcoming text
isn‘t really mine, as all I‘ve done is edited it from various sources, it‘s a bit deep and heavy in certain
cases, though interesting enough to help give a better understanding of the origins of Freemasonry.
Everyone who joins their local lodge, which has its own name such as St Peter‘s Lodge No 442
Newport, - there is a meeting centre in the lodge, and the initiate has to go through an initiation ceremony.
Every Freemason, including all those who also attend their Churches, Mosque‘s or Synagogue‘s and other
places of worship, have had to have gone through this same initiation; it‘s the only way you can pass the
degrees.
The first thing that happens is that a blindfold is put on them, a noose [called a cable toll] is hung
around their neck, their shirt is opened to bare their chest, and they‘re brought to the outer door of the
lodge. The pointed sharp end of a compass, dagger or sword then pricks the skin of the chest around the
area of the heart.
Someone then asks: ―Who comes?‖ In which the candidate states: ―A poor, blind beggar looking to
move from darkness to the light of Freemasonry‖. They are then brought [pulled by the noose] into the
Masonic Lodge where they must bow at an altar. Behind the altar stands a man they call the Worshipful
Master of the Lodge [the leader of the lodge]. Again the candidate makes his plea for Freemasonry. After
answering a series of questions, the Freemason to be, takes a series of blood oaths and promises not to
reveal the secrets of Freemasonry that he will then learn: – ―Upon having his throat cut from ear to ear‖,
if he dare did reveal the secrets. After that first initiation, these are some of the actual oaths a Free-Mason
must take: 1. In the first degree of the Lodge; ―Binding myself under no less a penalty, than having my
throat cut across, my tongue torn out from its roots and buried in the rough sands of the sea...‖ 2. In the
second degree; ―Binding myself under no less a penalty, than that of having my left breast torn open, my
heart plucked out and given as prey to the wild beasts of the field and the foul of the air...‖ 3. In the third
degree [Master Mason Degree]; ―Binding myself under no less a penalty, than that of having my body
severed in twain, my bowels taken from thence and burned into ashes...‖ [1]
Now, for a Christian, Muslim or Jew to go through this, you have to ask several questions: - How can a
so called follower of Christ, Mohammad or Moses etc., go to a Masonic Lodge and ask for membership,
then say; ―I am lost in darkness and I need the light of Freemasonry?‖ How can a Christian, Muslim or
Jew bow at an altar before a man that is called the Worshipful Master? This is in total contradiction of the
Bible, Koran and Old Testament or Torah, you can‘t have it both ways and you‘re living a lie?
As stated above, those aren‘t the only initiations, as a Freemason goes through the higher degrees of the
Scottish and York rites or similar Masonic Orders, the oaths continue for each degree taken. Once
completing the three degrees of the Lodge, a Master Mason is then allowed to go into either the Scottish
Rite of Freemasonry which has 32 Degrees, [33rd Degree being honorary]. The York Rite has various
degrees, and in some cases up to 19, though it‘s alleged there are some lodges within Europe that have
levels going as high as 90.
