Having grown up with freemasonry openly discussed in the family I know a bit about the tradional and rituals, although been of the female gender I’m not privvy to the actual meetings. Still, I never thought back then that it was anything sinister or linked to witchcraft, it just wouldn’t have crossed my mind.

But common misconception is rife about anything ritualistic, secret and unknown and does then lead to misunderstanding.

I wonder what those who don’t have any knowledge of freemasonry think goes on in the rituals and meetings, I suspect it won’t live up to their imaginations!
