Kind of stumbled into masonry, had my initiation last week and am still bemused and excited by it all, I can't stress enough the warmth of the welcome that I've had so far and long may it continue! If learn half as many answers as I have questions I'll be very happy!

Let me congratulate you on your Initiation.Now what would be helpful, if you don't mind telling, is what Lodge and under what Grand Lodge were you Initiated as often an answer applicable say to UGLE would not be totally correct if it was asked in relation to an American Lodge or Grand Lodge of Scotland or Le Droit Humain or Grand Orient de France as an example. If members know which branch of Freemasonry you belong to it will be easier for them to give you the correct information or if they do not know it themselves to direct your steps to the most suitable source.As one who has been a Freemason now for just over 21 years I wish you a happy time in The Craft.

As they have all said before me, seek and ye shall find.
