is it just a bunch of old guys shooting the shit with aprons?

or are they really a sect of the illuminati plotting to take over the world?

I don't particularly care. They can't be up to too much because I know several people who claim to be freemasons who are poor, incompetent fuckups.
 
There are inner circles of inner circles. only the upper upper echelons would know of anything.

your questions are thoroughly explored in Dan Brown books.
 
My Grandfather was one, he never spoke about it with my Dad. My Dad said a few months before he passed, they were talking and the topic came up, and he never commented on anything.

From what my Dad knows they basically just got together and drank. I think the unknown element of it, brings out the curiosity, and ideas that it was a bigger deal than it actually was.
 
They take a vow of silence or their throat will be cut "from ear to ear". I worked with a few masons, they don't talk. At all.

It's an old builder's guild, they devised secret handshakes to identify themselves to each other - protecting trade secrets. They built the amazing cathedrals all over Europe, involving sacred geometry. Somehow it became more than that. They are possibly connected with the Knights Templar.

The original story has to do with King Solomon's master builder, who was murdered. They have rituals reenacting his death, among others.
I guess it's a kind of esoteric school, a secret society maintaining knowledge from ancient times. I think the story of most of them is that man is asleep, and only with proper knowledge and great effort can he hope to awaken his inner potential. As opposed to the notion that a god is going to fly out of the sky and magically save everyone. They do believe in a higher power, if fact one of the requirements is that you believe in one. Any one.

If they actually have any secrets, I doubt the average mason knows anything.. There are 33 1/3 degrees of masons. The higher ones might know more. It seems to have become more of a social thing, a club for married men to get out of the house. Of course this is all speculation on my part.

So they started the world's first labor union.
 
Hiram, was Solomon's builder...the story is pretty interesting especially the similarities in the construction of the Temple of Solomon and the Great Pyramid.

The book is Hiram's Key.
