Know a few Freemasons. They mostly just meet up once a week for a chat. They're all business owners too and seem to prefer to do business with each other if they can. Seems they spend more time trying to find ways to plot together to keep competition at bay rather than to figure out the mysteries of the universe or how to pork young boys.

Daughters of the Eastern Star. You muse have a male relative in the masons to join. I actually did IT work for about 1/3 rd of the Freemasons in the US for a few years.

There was very few people around other than non-season staff. I had a brief tour. It felt like a Disney curated wilderness resort, with little themed bungalow areas, I did get to see that the big owl statue is hollow inside though, there is a door on it's left side with a little room with some audio and lighting type equipment and some coats hung up.

I think it's just a social club where you go drink, meet buds, take care of each other and its developed with a hierarchy. It's just something to belong to, some way to find your place.
I'm not saying thats a great thing but I think thats all it is.

Isn't Freemasonry, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, The Knights of Columbus, the Veiled Prophet, all just similar social clubs? Obviously the KKK went ideologically rotten at some point but it started out in the same vein, yes?
I've never really done much homework on the secular(ish) clubs in America. But they sound a lot like Mormonism. I guess the difference is that Mormonism's founder claimed divine rights for himself and turned the social order into a cult of personality. Doesn't look like the other make such grandiose claims and are happy to be social orders and business circles.
I went to a Veiled Prophet debutante ball once. They parade all the teenage girls of members out in ball gowns to prostrate to the Veiled Prophet. It's a $300 a plate dinner in full tuxedo. My girlfriend was a debutante at the time. Her rich uncle was her member-escort, I was her +1.
*edit
I met a woman there who has been my archetype for 'holy-shit rich' ever since. She had a diamond on her necklace the size of a grape and she was telling us how she had a panic attack the other day because she missed her exit on the highway, didn't know what to do, pulled over, and called 911. Her father owned/owns one of the construction companies in the region that is capable of building stadiums and hospitals and bridges and shit.

There is a religious aspect to the Freemasons but it's not really a religious organization and there is the fact that it goes back to the 1600s or whenever which accounts for some of the weird rituals. My dad had a Masonic ceremony at his funeral but it just consisted of some dudes putting on some little aprons that I imagine have something to do with masonry and reading a couple passages of very formal language.
The "secrets" are just ways for Masons of different levels to recognize each other (handshakes and shit) and they are all out there on the internet if you really want to know what they are.
