Welcome to Exsequi Freemasons Lodge in South Africa
Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest fraternal
organisation. It is
believed to have originated with the craft guilds of medieval Europe and
latterly, to have expanded to admit those who did not actually belong to the
trade. The literal stone masons are referred to as operatives while those who
did not actually work in stone were called speculative masons.
While Freemasonry is the largest and best know fraternal
organisation the world has ever seen, it is without a doubt the least
understood. It is hoped that this web site will help to make people have a
better understanding of the organisation and in particular its activities in
South Africa. Read more...

List of Freemasons Lodges in South Africa.
Fraternity exists between the English, Irish, Scottish and South African Constitutions and with Eendracht Maakt Macht 88 Lodge working under the GE of the Netherlands. Interchange visiting by members and Lodges under the jurisdiction of the aforegoing Constitutions is welcomed. Brethren are reminded that it is part of their duty as members of the English constitution not to associate Masonically with members of unrecognised constitutions, and should such a situation occur, they should tactfully withdraw, even though their visit may have been formally arranged. Brethren wishing to visit Lodges under different Grand Lodges overseas should first contact the Secretary who can advise on those recognised by the United Grand Lodge of England.

Principles on which Freemasonry is Founded
Are the principles on which Freemasonry is founded still relevant today and more importantly are they relevant to the future? First let us establish what Freemasonry is and what better way than to take the accepted definition of ‘a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols’. It is a movement whose masonic members are joined together in an association based on brotherly love, relief and truth.

Masons Masonic Links:
 Lewis
What's in a Name? 'Tradition informs us that the word Lewis denotes strength, often depicted by certain pieces of metal dovetailed into a stone, forming a cramp, and when in combination with some of the mechanical powers, such as a system of pulleys, enables the operative Mason to raise great weights to certain heights with little encumbrance, and to fix them on their proper bases. Lewis, likewise, denotes son of a Mason.'

There is enormous interest in Rosslyn Chapel and its alleged connections
with Scottish Freemasonry, the Knights Templar and the St. Clair family.
Some of the information in the public domain is interesting but much is
not produced by Freemasons and very little by Scottish Freemasons.
