The Lodge
Freemasons are the keepers of an ancient and honorable tradition designed to polish and adorn the hearts, minds, and spirits of men.
Since its inception on October 22, 1866, Wasatch Lodge #1 has celebrated a rich and unique legacy full of history and tradition—upholding three values at the heart and soul of all men: Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.
Wasatch Lodge #1 characterizes itself with discipline, honor, esprit de corps, and an unquenchable thirst for more light.
The Order
Freemasonry is a tradional initiatic order. It describes itself as a peculiar system of morals, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbols. Freemasons are joined together by shared ideals, both moral and metaphysical in nature.
Freemasonry’s initiatory system of degrees (or morality plays) is designed to teach and explore ethical and philosophical matters of three basic virtues: Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.
Freemasonry is a non-dogmatic but complex living tradition. As one works through the degrees, one studies the lessons and interprets them for oneself. There are as many ways to interpret the rituals as there are Masons, and no Mason may dictate to any other Mason how he is to interpret them. The symbols, and the lessons they teach, aids each Mason in coming to his own conclusions to life’s important questions.
Thus, some Masons are concerned with Charity and Philanthropy, some with Fraternity, and others with Philosophy.
The one idea that all Masons accept, is that Freemasonry itself is large enough to accomodate each kind of Mason. The diversity of Freemasonry is its strength. We are all bound together by our endeavors to polish and adorn our minds, bodies, and spirit in our pursuit for more light.
