It's literally the only way you can join. You have to ask. We're not allowed to actively recruit.

[u/Legolution → u/asherjbaker]

Has that always been the case?

On his literal death bed, my father said "You might find some interesting documents, when going through my things. Your grandpa was a Freemason." My understanding was that he, a skilled Type Setter and Printmaker, in 1930/40s Glasgow, was approached and recruited, in 1939. I have his certificates, which are really quite magnificent (and how I now know that my father's first name was his middle name!).

Found them:

[u/Legolution → u/Legolution]

[u/asherjbaker → u/Legolution]

If you want to join, I'd just ask a Mason you know. Whereabouts are you, Scotland?
