Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and most widely recognised fraternal
organisations. Through timeless principles, and antient traditions, good men are encouraged to become the best versions of themselves
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and most widely recognised fraternal organisations. It is a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols; a framework through which men of good character are encouraged to reflect on their obligations to their God, to their neighbour, and to themselves.
Freemasons come from every profession and every walk of life. What unites them is not what they do or where they come from, but the values they share and the obligations they have freely accepted; Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.
Throughout the history of Freemasonry, symbols have served as reminders of the values that guide a Mason’s life. The ceremonial objects in this image evoke a tradition built on discipline, reflection, integrity, and a commitment to personal growth.
For the Grand Lodge of Antient Free & Accepted Masons of Ghana, these traditions connect generations of Brethren through a shared commitment to Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. They remind every Mason that membership is not merely an honour to be worn, but a responsibility to be lived.
From the earliest days of organised Freemasonry in Ghana to the establishment of a sovereign Grand Lodge in 2009, the Craft has continued to uphold its heritage while encouraging its members to serve their communities with humility and purpose.
A man enters Freemasonry of his own freewill and accord. Through a progressive series of the three degrees.
Each degree is conferred in Lodge, in a ceremony of dignity and solemnity that
has been passed down essentially unchanged for centuries.
The first degree marks a man’s entry into the Craft and
introduces him to the principles and teachings of
Freemasonry.
The second degree deepens that foundation and encourages
further learning, reflection, and personal development.
The third degree represents the fullness of Craft Freemasonry,
from which all further Masonic progress flows.
If you have read the above and believe that Freemasonry may be right
for you, we invite you to tell us a little about yourself. The Grand
Secretary’s Office receives all enquiries and will respond in due course.
Freemasonry is not for every man. The Craft asks much of those who join; In Time, In Commitment, and In Personal Conduct. An enquiry is
the beginning of a conversation, not an application. There is no
obligation on either side at this stage.
No. Freemasonry is an open organisation. Its existence, its values, its charitable work, and its membership are all matters of public record. Certain elements of its internal ceremonies are private, as they have always been. That is a very different thing from secrecy.
No. A Freemason is expressly required
to ensure that his membership of the
Craft never influences his professional
conduct, his public duties, or his
obligations to others. Any man who
uses his membership to obtain
improper advantage acts in direct
contradiction of everything
Freemasonry teaches.
Members pay initiation fees and annual
subscriptions to their Lodge and
contribute to the Craft’s charitable
funds. A man should satisfy himself
before enquiring that his circumstances
allow him to meet these obligations
without hardship to himself or his
family.
Contact the Office of the Grand
Secretary through the enquiry page.
Freemasonry is a local journey of brotherhood,
service and personal growth. No matter where you
are in Ghana, there is a Lodge near you.
