funny you should mention em, someone was speaking about em today and i made a joke "oh was the cask of amontillado about a TRAPPED mason yuck yuck" and turns out the trowel is some sort of masonic symbol and the story is rife with codes and so forth.
my take is that it's a curious thing, but ultimately difficult to form any genuine opinion on them due to their secrecy. there's a building they have somewhat near my home that is situated in such an odd way that one can only see it if they're really aware of its existence. i've walked by it dozens of times knowing the building is there and have not seen it at all, like it's built in some sort of mental blind spot.
who knows, man.

The Anglo one is pretty irrelevant these days, every mason in my town is an ancient but well off guy who dumps a lot of money into charity in exchange for being able to hang out with other boomers in the lodge. For every person who cares about the esoteric mysteries there are 100 guys who just want an excuse to waste money and get shitfaced.
I don't know about the French one.

im sure it does, but so does knights of columbus or the elks or rotary club. why go for something like this except if your dad did it or you are interested in the rosicrucians.

my local one does lobster bakes and raise money for pediatric burn centers, but anons from eastern europe are far more alarmist on these matters.
