The Masonic Oath

I, *insert name*, of my own free will and accord, do hereby and hereon most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, that I will hail, ever conceal, and never reveal any of the secrets, arts, parts, point or points of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons to any party or person; with the legitimate exception that it be to a true and lawful brother or sister of our degree. I shall acknowledge and obey all due signs and summons sent to me from the Lodge Council; in service to my brethren I shall bring service to myself.

I shall hold the Grand Secret inviolable; never illicitly committing an action that risks material or conscientious harm to my Grand Lodge. I shall communicate the Grand Masonic Word only in the specific manner or form in that which I shall receive it. I shall protect the parts of the Grand Masonic Word if ever they are directed to and received by me as such; with the exception of murder and treason.

I shall never recognize the authority of a foreign power other than my Creator over myself or my Lodge no matter which form that it may be disguised in. I shall never sit in a Lodge of Clandestine-made Masonry or converse on the subject of Masonry with a Clandestine-made Mason.

Forever protecting the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress, I shall never violate this obligation and will henceforth honor my Brothers, Sisters, and the Masonic Code.

IV. Then, paste it into a New Thread by clicking HERE.

V. Be sure to answer ALL applicable questions, to the best of your ability. An incomplete petition will cause delays in processing.

Thank you for petitioning for membership to the Grand Lodge of Freemasons!

1. Do not change your alliance affiliation until you are told to do so. You are NOT authorized to use "The Grand Lodge of Freemasons" until your petition has been approved. This usually takes less than 24 hours.

2. If possible please change your color sphere to Orange. This is not mandatory, but we encourage you do so as our internal trade circles are all orange based.

3. Further updates and instructions will be posted in your petition thread.

4. To be accepted, you need to be at peace (we can help you). We will also need a little time to review your petition and possibly your most recent alliance.

5. You will need to sign-up for the Entered Apprentice test within 7 days of your petition being approved to stay a member of this alliance.


NOTE: Your petition will be kept in this forum for about 7 days once a decision is made - so you have access to your links, etc. It will then be moved to 'Completed Petitions'.

We look forward to you joining us in this great and good work.

If you have any questions or you need help with the petition process please contact Letaq orAlaric Thanks !!!
