Good afternoon Worshipful Brother - super proud to share this video with my 22 year old daughter who is starting her journey with OES. If she lived near me, I’d go through it with her.
S&F
Love the tie you did a great job explaining I am a new OES member in Kentucky and have to say it is the best thing I have everdone
Congratulations!
Are you still in the O.E.S? What are your feelings now? Is it a good idea to join them?
My husband is now master of his lodge and he told me I will be now asked to join ( our state needs younger members). I thank you greatly for your primer to what I will be in for. I am very ready to dedicate myself to the tenants of Poverty, Obedience, Service and Modesty. May all that hunger be fed and all that shiver be clothed.
Enjoy it. I hope he joins you as well.
My husband and I have been OES members for decades. This is a loving organization of people all over the world. We love the Christian fellowships. Thank you for an informative video which I hope will be viewed by those who are ignorant and make negative videos!
Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your service to the Order.
Fran Horne it's not ignorant.. it's a warning. a seriousness .. Yeshua is about to return.. and the history of these cults and religions are very dangerous for especially those who are loving and kind...
I believe that people join under the premise presented to them... which is the focus on doing good deeds, but they aren't taught the darker spiritual truth behind the order, rituals, etc. My mother and i joined the Eastern Star Order. When she became born again, she denounced membership. Glad that she found out the truth! The words, Secret Society fits this well because there are secrets held back about what being joined to the order are not revealed to the innocent members that are unaware of what the oaths or rituals really represent.😢
No matter how a Mason Or OES member study or read the bible..Jesus said" ln Secret l said Nothing ...Every Secret thing one does in secret or in darkness..Christ will expose it at the Judgment
He also said he spoke in parables so that his disciples could understand, but that the message was hidden from the masses. Apparently some secrets are reasonable ones.
Let me ask you. What do you know about the practices and study of Deltas, AKA....or heck the church down the street you don't attend. The point is you will know the inter workings of an organization that is membership based unless you are a member. Period.
Jesus says the same thing, except there can be only ONE
He got you there. Jared is right. Anytime someone does the typical done in secret attack. I just mention how the Roman Catholic Church the biggest christian" church elects the pope in secret.
The gig is up Lucifer is God in FreeMasonry! All of that occult pagan Babylonian nonsense, from mystery school from the Tower of Babel.
My grandmother was a member of OES and was born and raised in Mississippi. I do not know a lot about the organization. Thank you.
Thank you for watching a bit about it - I hope you are encouraged to learn more.
This has been on my mind recently. My grandparents were mason/matron. I was a junior star as a preteen. Something I shared with my grandmother. I remember it well. Very grounded wholesome people, with a solid moral compass.
@@Billy-id9kb So, you believe in a place called Hell, and you feel that you have the right to determine who should go there? Obviously you profess to be a religious man, but you really feel that you have the right to make a judgment on who belongs there? You know the mind of God? I can confidently say that you do not know the the mind of God, and neither do I. If anything religion teaches us is that God is love, nothing but love. Knowing THAT reality is beyond your comprehension. Make your reality as you will, and let others make theirs. There are many roads to God, and God is waiting at the door for all of us. Not just the people who believe as you do.
@@rinpocherags3169you don't know, that makes you agnostic! And you are not addressing a him but a her! Why am I defending those seeking more light? You should be seeking light too!
Why doesn't your channel have content?
@@douglasalfseike3867 You’re very contentious, Douglas. I mean no disrespect, but anger management might be a good thing for you to seek. There’s no shame. We’re only human.
Hello my brother, thank you so much for your explanation on this matter. I was just raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason a week ago, and found with these questions. Thank you for answering them. I find your channel very helpful. Thank you again.
Having grown up with it (my parents were Worthy Matron/Patron together) I've always seen Eastern Star as a type of ladies' auxiliary of freemasonry, rather than a separate masonic sorority. Keep in mind it is still an Appendent(dependent) body of freemasonry.
I think that is a fair way to look at it, even though the "blue lodge" has no authority over it.
Im a member in Michigan. Our functions are primarily independent from the masonic lodge. Our rules are our own, as are our ceremonies and rituals. That being said, we do love being a part of the larger masonic family.
I was referring to how there has to be a Master Mason present. Also, the ladies have to have a familial tie to, or recommendation of, a Master Mason
my step grandfather was a mason. i never met him but he basically raised my mom and uncle. he adopted my uncle actually. i claim him as my grandfather. i’m looking into joining the oes. i feel like it would help me have more connection to that part of my family
have you joined?
@@BigLipe0207 no but i’m still thinking about it. the nearest oes chapter is hours away and i don’t drive so it’d be hard for me to find my way up there
@@rowanavant2045 well, I definitely hope and pray that you find a chapter that fits you. I know you will be a great addition.
My grandfather was a free mason and he told me it was starrted in may of 1776. My grandmother was a member of the eastern star but she refused to talk about it.
How curious that she wouldn't talk to you about OES when it's history is so much more clear than the symbolic lodge.
same here...my great grandma was an Eastern Star but she didn't speak of it...Not sure what that means.
Funny illuminati started in may of 1776
John dough-

This is why she refused to talk about it.
@@joeyzavala3179 no no no...
Greetings. I'm from Washington DC and I'm an OES member. I am a Past Patron and am currently a Grand Sentinel within our Grand Chapter. Great video
Thank you, I have been looking to join... finally. I've called a number of times to confirm my eligibility. My Paternal Grandfather was 32nd Degree Scottish Rite & Shriner
My grandparents were members!! Looking into it currently :)
I’m so excited for initiation! I can’t wait to start! My grandmother and great grandmother were both Worthy Matrons. I am so excited to begin my journey!
I want to, help mew get initiated.
@@simosimtoxmbete9006 that's not how it work
I hope you stuck with it and all is still going well!!
I am a member of the Order of the Eastern Star up here in Michigan. It has been a fantastic experience, and my lodge brothers and sisters have become a second family to me.
So happy to hear it! Thank you for sharing!
Amanda Patton lucky
Welcome to Hell!!!! Enjoy this World while you can, you've an eternity of pain to pay for it.
Brian yess. we will suffer and burn. patethic christian.
Edgar's stuff rocks. Nice guy, too. Love the tie, Bro. OES Initiation is a very interesting ritual. I found it to be very meaningful and beautiful when I went through.
Edgar really is. I'm glad you found the initiation meaningful as well. Thank you for sharing!
James McMillen glad to hear that! I always wondered how there's was.
Edgar doesn't skimp on quality. Really nice stuff. His ties are magnificent.
I agree. Edgar is awesome. I have quite a bit of his stuff.
Love the tie Brother! Thanks for the link.
I learned quite a bit from this video. My wife is in the process of joining OES. My Lodge does not have an associated chapter, so she is joining the chapter near where we live. She got introduced to OES by some ladies in her exercise class as they found out through conversation that I was a MM. I have yet to decide is I will join, I will wait to hear from my wife and see how she feels about it. We like to have "our own things" and "things we do together", so we will see how she feels about OES!
I am going to tell you how it is:
My wife wanted to be a part of something. She had a friend who talked-up the OES, but she was determined that I would be there with her because as much as she wants friendships and to be a part of something crowds of people certainly are not her thing. So I was brought in more as a shield than anything, lol.
Now, of course, she has a lot of other friends and I can sort of hide off in a corner for want of another guy to hang with while my wife does chats up the ladies.
Hey there, I recognize you! :)
Which one of us, lol?
I would say me!
@keith, what did you decide?
Brother Stanley. Very informative video about the OES. Thank you.
You are quite welcome, thank you for watching and sharing!
You look great with the tie, Brother - and as always, excellent video. Makes me happy that Mississippi is well represented in your work.
Very kind, thank you.
The grandfathers on my mother's mother side going back hundreds of years were all Masons, and they were NOT devil worshipers, nor are the Eastern Stars, they love and serve Lord Jesus, if they were what some are saying, Lord Jesus would have not allowed them to continue. Electa lady may have represented Mary sister of Martha and Lazarus, or even Lydia, seller of purple, what do you think?
You know - I don't think I've put enough thought into who all the term "Electa" could be applied to. I shall have to do so!
local lodge is holding a secret ballot on tuesday for me! hoping to make it through and get my EA degree. looking forward to a lifetime of servitude to my fellow man! love your videos theyve helped me alot in making this decision! would love to link up with you someday! have a Facebook?
Brandon, I hope your petition is accepted. I am on Facebook: facebook.com/whatisamason/
Hope to see you around in more videos!
That's the coolest tie so far. I liked the others too, but this one is nice and sharp.
Greetings from California! I don't know if you are still monitoring or working on this channel, but I thought I would add some information for you and other interested parties. Most of what you said is correct up to a point, but not the entire story. In fact, I would dare to say that most Eastern Star people don't even know the full story. The Order of the Eastern Star was the initiatory degree of the eventual 3 degree order of what was originally known as the "Adoptive Rite of the World." It was to be a three degree order intended to reflect the three degrees of the blue lodge. After the first degree was instituted, Masonry came under a huge amount of criticism for involving women. They were accused of taking women out of the home, giving them airs above their station, and other such nonsense. The second degree, called, "The Queen of the South," was created to address this issue. It takes place in the court of King Solomon, who has been given a mandate from God to share certain information with other leaders. The Queen of Sheba visits to receive this special information, but Solomon says, "Sorry, you're just a woman." One by one the members of the court stand up to defend women, citing references from scripture that shows they are trustworthy, intelligent, righteous, and have been called by God at different times to serve His purposes. In the end, of course, Solomon says, "I see I have been wrong, etc." The third degree, created about 10 years on by Robert McCoy was The Order of the Amaranth. Another mason, James B. Taylor, had seen a Swedish heraldic/chivalric order known as The Order of the Amaranthus, and had liked some of the symbology and phrases, and had thought it could be adapted for use in an adoptive rite order. Robert McCoy liked what Turner had written and used it as the basis of for creating the third and final degree. In 1873, the Adoptive Rite of the World was completed, and the rituals of the three degrees appropriately copyrighted and filed with the Library of Congress. Just as in masonry, one degree had to be passed before receiving the next, and all were overseen by one governing body. Eastern Star meetings and Queen of the South would meet on the same night, but the third degree, The Order of the Amaranth met separately. By 1920, the 19th Amendment had been ratified giving the right to vote to women, and mainline masonry decided that the Queen of the South ritual had served its purpose and was no longer needed, and the two remaining degrees, Order of the Eastern Star, and Order of the Amaranth were separated into two completely separate organizations. Interestingly enough, Prince Hall Masonry still uses the three degree format of Eastern Star, Queen of the South, and Order of the Amaranth. When one of our local Eastern Star chapters wanted to host an exemplification of the Queen of the South ritual, they asked the local Prince Hall chapter for permission first, as they did not want to offend anyone, and it is still an active part of the ritual work for them. Luckily they were not offended, and gave their permission. - Today, if you happen to know any Amaranth people, or have been to one of their installations, it is easy to see the relationship between the orders, as many of the offices are the same. There are differences of course, and more officers in an Amaranth court. The members are referred to as "Honored Ladies," and "Sir. Knights." having received the accolade, and the "Royal Matron" wears a crown, while the Royal Patron wields a sword. Instead of 5 star points, Amaranth has four "ladies of the square," representing four final, filial virtues; Truth, Faith, Wisdom and Charity. -- Being a member of both Eastern Star, (past matron) and Amaranth (past royal matron), and having participated in the exemplification of the Queen of the South, I consider myself lucky to have seen the original vision created by our founders. - Interestingly enough, here in California, about 2/3 of the members of Amaranth are also members of Eastern Star, but I know that not all states still have Amaranth. Under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Council Amaranth currently has forty Grand Courts, located in the United States, Canada, Australia, Philippines and Scotland. - I hope you find this information of interest and wish you all the best in your efforts to educate and lift up our masonic family. By the way, I'd love to see some informational videos on our three youth groups as well. DeMolay, Rainbow for Girls, and Job's Daughters. They have all passed their 100th anniversaries, and are still serving the youth of our communities and our greater masonic family.
praise jesus. jesus is only way to salvation.
Pro Tip: The vast majority of Freemasons would agree with you!
The tie works! Thank you for the knowledge.
Thank you!
Love the tie worshipful Brother. my GrandMother was in the OES. I have been in the OES since 2012. love the OES.
Thank you for this talk
Thank you I am a 6 time past patron. Unfortunately I am no longer in good standing. My wife and I are in dier financial struggle. Same with with the blue lodge and roal arch.
Only Jesus Can Freemasons‼️
What does this mean?
Thank you for answering my question. It was a great vid and explanation. The tie is a keeper 😊
Happy to help, I am glad it was satisfactory! Thanks for letting me know about the tie!
I think the tie looks great with your shirt. Thanks for the videos. They help me learn about relatives that were involved in these things.
Like the tie, W∴ Bro.!
Quick question: I heard a couple weeks ago from a Past Worthy Patron that new eligibility requirements for women are coming down from the General Grand Chapter. He said that in the near future, instead of having to be related to a Master Mason or having to spend at least three years in Rainbows or Job's Daughters, a woman wishing to join will only require the endorsements of two Master Masons in good standing. Have you or your wife heard anything about this change?
Hmm, I haven't heard of that but I can certainly ask about it.
It is being voted on this year due to decline in membership. Of course, it has been voted on in the past and rejected, so who knows if it will come to pass or not.
NY OES which is not part of General Grand Chapter currently does not require a masonic relation in order to join. This was also the case for the youth group I joined. I only needed a masonic sponsorship.
My husband and I need a little moral support. His step dad is an honorary 33rd degree Mason and his mom is an Eastern Star member. (Both deceased) Don't want to compromise our Christianity at all though.
I presume his step dad and mom were not Christian, so you're concerned that maybe Freemasonry is anti-Christian? If they were church-goers, then I'm not sure where the concern would come from. However, my wife and I discussed this matter and many other topics on this video, which may be helpful: th-cam.com/video/be8zLX6qR-0/w-d-xo.html
I am in a Blue Lodge in Germany n always wanted to know the difference between these two. I love all your videos 💜
Thank you so much!
I couldn't imagine blue lodge without the organ music. I think it adds a lot to the ritual but I guess it's a dying art. Love the videos brother. From Darling Downs Lodge #66 UGLQ Australia.
Thank you Brother - I believe it really is a dying art. Once upon a time music and storytelling were our only forms of entertainment (perhaps a bit too general, but I believe you'll understand my point). Now we have so many other options, and so many musicians, that the drive for many to learn how to play an instrument is pushed to the back. Thanks for watching! It is very exciting to see comments from around the globe!
Love the tie looks good kind sir keep up the great video's very informative SMIB hoping to be initiated into Freemasonry soon
Thank you for this video! Hoping/praying to become a member of the OES soon. :) May I be worthy.
Good luck!
Thank you that was very accurate and interesting. I am also OES. I love my chapter and we are blessed with Master Masons that provide us with a beautiful lodge. I reside in Texas. I hope more ladies will look into our order. we are an organization of sisters of the heart.
I hope so too, and I hope to do another series about the OES in the future. Stay tuned!
Thank you so much for a well representation of OES
As a past Worthy Matron. I am impressed with this video. And I have actually shared with many wanting more information.
Thank you. I hope to cover it a bit more in later videos as well. I appreciate you sharing the video!
I interested in Joining the Eastern stars. I am in Georgia.
Beautiful explanation my Worthy Brother.
I believe my family members were eastern stars we derive from the stats of Scotland raised Presbyterian my mother and her sister were taken to church for eastern star classes! Any information would be appreciated!! A few years ago someone paid for me to go to Rosacrucian school I did not return the literature due to not knowing why would someone send me to rosacrucian school
Hey Jared great video I am a MM in texas and my wife and I are about to be initiated as eastern stars together, I think it will be a good experience and it's more light in a sense
I think it will be too! A lot of symbolism in there - but, at least in my area, a lot of unnecessary pomp as well. It took me a while to get past that and focus on the message, not the delivery. Mind you - I'm not really speaking about the degree(s), but of the "introductions" that can really drag a meeting down.
What would make one decide to join OES? Also what would make one decide to join freemasonry?
Perhaps a quick video on the ladies' organizations outside of Eastern Star like Amaranth, White Shrine of Jerusalem, Beauceant?
I will have to learn more about them, but thank you for the suggestion.
Awesome video! This really answered a lot of my questions. I’m looking into joining my local chapter as my great grandfather was a master mason for 50 years & my great grandmother was a member of the OES. I do have to ask, I am curious why 1 woman wouldn’t also need to be at the Freemason meeting? Since you mentioned the discussion of scripture taking place at the OES meetings, I am assuming discussion of scripture takes place at a Freemason meeting as well. I’d also assume the same rationale of having a male present for the OES meetings would apply for Freemasons needing a women at their meetings to help their interpretation of the scripture. Could you provide some insight on this topic? Great video!👍🏻
Why is the star upside down?
Greetings bros and sisters!!! Much love!
This video was very helpful. Other videos on here depict OES with satanic worshiping making my research confusing because I am considering becoming an Easter Star. My man is a Master Mason and he is one of the most loving men I've ever met. Nothing about him is satanic. Thanks for explaining this.
I am happy that the video helped. One key thing most people presume is that the star being inverted is somehow bad, when in reality it is attempting to mimic the star that pointed the way to the birth of Christ, which the Wise Men followed. But, some people have wild imaginations. I hope you and your husband end up joining - I think you'll enjoy it.
iceman
Don't join that crap.
It's Diabolical.
They present it as something good.
It's satanic.
Please my sister don't.
God loves you if you want light fear God and keep his commandments.
Read his word. He will give you wisdom.
Satan Deceive people to believe evil marketed as good.
GOD LOVES YOU AMEN
Nigel Mutonhori lol what is satanic about it?

Visit total onslaught videos by professor Walter Veith. This platform is to narrow to explode everything.
Question: I've seen old photos of the Star of OES where the right was upright (the white point pointing upwards), why the change to a downward-pointing Star, if you can explain?
*where the Star was upright
I have never seen it displayed that way, so that is news to me. It was explained to me that the point faces downwards because it is representative of the Star of Bethlehem, pointing to the birth of Jesus.
I actually have a screenshot of it because I also wanted to ask my mom about it (who is a member of OES as well). It looks look it could be from a chapter in New York, I'm not sure though since I'm not a member myself. Maybe I can email it to you for further research?
Happy to - jared@whatisamason.org
That is the star of NY & NJ OES.
Appreciate this content thank you sir 🪄🫶🌎
9:30 but does it make sense intuitively to you as to why blue lodges don’t have matriarchs?
Last time I checked, we weren’t born from the womb of a warden.
hey that inverted star looks like the basphomet?! Why is the star inverted?
Because it represents the star that pointed toward the birth of Jesus Christ.
poppyhimbo also don’t associate baphamet as a sinister idol . Dig deep and you’ll see it was never meant to Be what it is perceived as today
because these idiots are devil worshippers
@@WhatisaMason That's what YOUR masters tell you, big boy. The Eastern Star is Sirius. Pointing down to channel energy from lower frequencies. Look under your alters at your lodge, I bet you anything you've got a star right under it.
5 elements (nature) inverted.
I am a newly raised master mason and I am thinking about joining the oes
I do believe you would enjoy it. Especially if you are Christian.
I do believe you would enjoy it. Especially if you are Christian.
Great video as always Jered, love the tie by the way,and you done an awesome job on my last question so here I come with another,I recently read about"Green"degrees of York rite, have you heard of these, anyway my question is what are they and are they practiced in America? , More so the southern jurisdiction,thank you and I'm looking forward to your response! God bless
I can try, as I know what you are referring to, but I am not a member, so I may not be able to do it justice.
Can you explain the difference between the Eastern Stars with Prince Hall and other chapters of the Eastern Star please
I would say that after the degree that I know there are different houses that women work their way up...this does not happen in one night...and comes after you invitation into OES( which is about the 5 degrees, but this is the most basic house in OES)
The tie works, but those plaid draperies need to go, ya'll.
WHAT?!?! ;-) I love my curtains. What would you suggest?
Either a nice neutral shade like peach with a jacquard fabric and pattern, or a solid burgundy or hunter green.
@@WhatisaMason It's gotta match his kilt y'all.
Why is there a white version and a black version of masons and oes?
Because humanity has a very hard time living up to the aspirations it espouses.
I ask how can something be good and evil????????
The flaming star, which, when turned upside down, is the hierolgyphic [sic] sign of the goat of Black Magic, whose head may be drawn in the star, the two horns at the top, the ears to the right and left, the beard at the bottom. It is the sign of antagonism and fatality. It is the goat of lust attacking the heavens with its horns."
I'd encourage you to learn more about symbols. I can flip a McDonald'd "Golden Arches" upside down and then argue that they are promoting a brothel - but I know they aren't. Just because you can make something out of another thing, doesn't mean that what you came up with means anything at all.
Freemasonry doesn't do anything with goats, doesn't worship the devil, or any other kind of evil, doesn't practice, teach, or do magic in any form.
Could you explain the difference between Freemasonry and Mechanics?
I had a dream about this.
Thanks for the excellent intro to the Eastern Star. The tie is a nice touch.
You are quite welcome, and thank you for letting me know about the tie!

Its a great tie, but you're at home, you should wear what's comfortable for you ;)
nauticalmile ...
Can you talk about Freemasonry mainstream and prince hall?
Sure, can you see if this video is what you are looking for already: th-cam.com/video/7Z0h_XIxJbU/w-d-xo.html
My father's side of the family were steeped in the Masonic order In Scotland Gan was in The easter star,The Grand order of the buffalo's.some family were grand master's but I had nothing too do with any order or lodge.
And the gladies.
albert pike wrote morals and dogma and he quoted lucifer is the light what did he mean by that?
Well, the issue here is that by asking the question it is clear that you have never read the full quote, in context. It is quite clear what he means if you read the book.
Pike says that anciently the star visible in the morning, the morning light, was Venus, and that anciently Venus was called Lucifer. Therefor, anciently, Lucifer was the name of Venus, which was known as the Morning Light. That's it. It has zero reference to the Satan or Devil of Christianity.
Pentagram??🤔🤔
A pentagram is nothing more than a 5 pointed star. This one happens to "point down" because it is the Star of Bethlehem, pointing the way towards the birth of Christ.
My grand father Bob was an Eastern star.. but has passed would I still be able to join. ?
My mother was in Eastern Star, she was not allowed to talk about what they did, they also have Rainbow girls for little girls growing up to become Eastern Star
2:08 Gotta love eternal battles of semantics.
The foundation of disorder and chaos when the only truth is that the argument was a moot point regardless.
My great great grandmother was one of the founders of the eastern stars
The tie is great brother!
Thanks for this video Marshall, and we are FATAL
Thank you Sister.
My grandmother was a Worthy Matron. Would I be able to join based upon that?
Most likely, yes.
Hey I found a book for the order of the eastern star it has three ribbons red green and yellow what do that mean and what all does it cover and how do you become part of the order of the eastern star
The tie is a keeper.
I appreciate you letting me know!

Dude that’s a full on pentagram
The 5 pointed star has been used by many cultures and creeds throughout the history of mankind. Check it out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagram
A pentagram is 5 pointed upside down star placed in a circle.
A pentagram also doesn't have different colored points with symbols on them.
Yes. That spells FATAL, and puts the drinking chalice in the blood red point.
5 elements inverted. Telling.
@@mercurius_exalted this is about the only symbol I see for masons in indiana. There's a lot of bad energy and predatory abuse abuser cycle mentality here, a strong belief in people use people and that's the way it is just lie and use people to your own ends.
I know at least energetically these lodges with the inverted pentagram are connected to this energy.
If you have to have a Matron and Patron for the Eastern Stars, then that means the same is required in the Masons? Matron and Patron?
No, Freemasonry is a Fraternity, which by definition is male-only.
Weekly Budget Meetings To The Penny Call Sign Anubis.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
7:37 this is my biggest contempt towards “secret societies”
Y’all aren’t secret anymore and not just all lessons, but even “master” interpretations can be easily accessed by anyone who knows how to look.
Maybe it’s because I’m connected with too many “masters” who I know aren’t masters of themselves much less an order of human souls who desire a better life.
If I were to remake it, there would be no structured body.
There would be people coming together based on discovery and shared interpretations. No rules on external appearances or internal mechanics.
If your soul aligns, that is what matters.
Anyone can worm their way through a system of restrictions and choke points.
It takes true wisdom to ascend with no ladder to climb.
I'm proud to be a member of Order of the Eastern Star
Hi, can you explain the connection with Freemasons and Mormons? Did Joseph Smith “steal” the rituals?
The tie looks great
Great explanation!!! Looking forward to being a member someday.
Thank you!
What is a Mason I have a question. How could I contact you?
jared@whatisamason.org
UPDATE: I've been a member for 5 years. I am now the Worthy Patron of my chapter and District Associate Patron. SC-PHA
Why are eastern stars black are there white oes?
Could you please state your question another way? Just want to be clear about what you are asking. Thanks.
What is a Mason if you google are hashtag oes or eastern star you will see that there are no white or Asian or anything other races it’s all black. It also seems as if they mix eastern stars up with things that have to do with the church ⛪.
So what do you have something against so called blacks?
How long does it take to get the royal arch past high priest and what are the steps to get there?
I presume you are specifically speaking to the Order of High Priesthood - A chair degree conferred upon installed or past High Priests.
Well, where I live, one has to be a Master Mason, which could take 3 months or longer. Then you have to join the York Rite, which here only comes around twice per year. Then you have to go "up the line" in the Chapter, which could take any number of years, depending on how quickly the Chapter advances you.... Let's assume at least 3 years, but as many as 7. Then, after you have served as the High Priest of the Chapter, you wait for the "Chair Degrees" to come around. I believe that only happens once, maybe twice per year here.
All in all - I think it is fair to assume that it would take about 10 years from the moment you become a Freemason before it is possible you would have the Order of the High Priesthood.
Why are you so interested in that particular honor? I'm sure you are aware, it isn't the "actual" priesthood.
@@WhatisaMason I was told by family my great grandfather was that. I have been very interested in joining tge Freemasons for a long time. However all my family that I habe been told was a Mason has passed and I have no real proof. So I was just introduced to a Mason through another family member last week and he asked what my goals where if I was ro be accepted. Also he said being that he has to get to know me and because he is not family it takes up to 12 months just to be a apprentice here in Georgia. Does that seem right? To me that seems like a long time to just be a apprentice? I am really excited for this journey and I am even more excited to be the only living person in my family alive who hopefully will be a Freemason to pass down to my son. I do profess Christianity so thatbis why I want to go the York Rite and Knights Templars route, however it may change with knowledge who knows and from what I understand you can go in the direction of both York and Scottish Rite. Also yes I do know it is not a real priesthood😀!
12 months doesn't seem long at all. True apprenticeships last multiple years. Sure, we're a Fraternity, but there is something to be said about patience being a virtue. He may also be putting several things into that 12 month time frame. The lodge may have a certain amount of time that it is required for someone to have "known" you. Then once you petition, it could take 3 months for all of the official stuff to get done. The lodge may have a backlog of degrees and even once you are voted in it might take a few months to get your EA. Then, depending on their requirements and your abilities, it could take a few months before you can pass to the FC. However, in some jurisdictions (mostly overseas to my knowledge), you have to attend lodge events/dinners for a year, just to show your dedication, before they'll even let you submit a petition. Moral of the story: it could be worse.
@@WhatisaMason That makes complete sense and I agree with it. To me rushing in or "running" through the process doesn't prepare you for anything or learn what needs to be learned and how can someone really get to know another person that quickly! I believe in everything of what I understand so far that the Masons stand for and it will be worth it taking my time and getting to learn all that I can, I just didn't know the time frames of things. Thank you for all the information. Hopefully I am excepted and we cross paths in the future!
One question,does a lady or a Master Mason have to be a Christian to join the Order Of The Eastern Star?
Oldest known masonic minutes is from Lodge of Edinburgh dated 1599.
Thank you I'm a newbie
Excellent explanation
I have a question about (re)joining a masonic lodge in relation to tattoos and or bady art. I have a facial tattoo on my forehead ((NOT by choice, was drugged at a party as a teenager (19)) I was previously an entered apprentice in Florida (before the tattoo) and have since come to greatly regret leaving Florida and my lodge. I wish to continue my education. would my tattoo block me from joining ?
(crescent moon on forehead)
((edit-- Your tie looks good))
No, but you may be asked about it and what meaning it has to you, if any.
What is a Mason thank you for your timely response.
I notice in your description it is said the OES is "women lead." Fact is, women may conduct the meetings but a "man must be present" as overseer. Hummm...
I'm not here to make an argument of whether it is right or wrong, but it is arguably Biblical, for better or worse. Yeah, sure, a male has to be there, but the Worthy Matron, the woman, is 100% in charge. In practice, there is no "need" for a man to be there. The women handle everything, or could handle everything, in my opinion.
What is a Mason ..... Oh come on now! I'd believed you bigger than that. I made a "comment/statement." Neither a question, debate nor "argument" was evnen remotely indicated. Nebertheless, if "oversight" of women's meetings were not of some essence I'm sure it would not have been included as an observation thereby making it questionable.
I'm sorry that you seem to have taken my comment as being aggressive, it was not intended to be so. I wasn't meaning that I was "arguing" with you in a hostile way, nor that you were to me.
As I suggested in the video any my comment, I believe, but I do not know, that it is a "thing" for a man to have to be present because, in Biblical times, everything was Patriarchal - the men were in charge, period. Since the Order of the Eastern Star is inherently Biblical, I think the "argument" is that the chapter is set up to represent biblical times as much as possible, ergo, requiring a man to be in present, even if he isn't in charge. But I'll keep saying it - that's just my assumption, I am not really sure if that is why or not. But, the whole system was written by a man, for women... so it does seem to fit.
What is a Mason .... No need to be sorry. I am not thin skinned. As for biblical times "always" being "pariarchal," well you should know there were times "before" patriarchal dynasty.
The biblical times you are expressing resulting in charters such as Freemasons and the OES are counter to the "will" of our Creator who is the ochetrator of "law." As for your "assumptions," they are wanting.
I agree - assumptions are not good. I will endeavor to learn more about why it is required for a man to be present. And, for clarity sake, I am not above admitting the possibility that it is merely due to a man having been the author of this work during a time (1850) when women were also seen as being less than a man (the right to vote not coming until 1920). As such, it is entirely possible that it has nothing to do with the Bible and everything to do with the perception men in general had of women in general (not that such misogyny doesn't still exist, but I would say that it is less than in 1850).
I think it's a part of the nature of the Freemasons and the Order of the Eastern Star that cause me to at least hope that that isn't the case. Freemasonry very much teaches respect of Women, and OES is very biblical. So, I went that route first.
Heck, for all I know it was simply a matter of men feeling chivalrous, at least in their own minds. Under this theory a man has to be present because he's there to make sure no unwanted individuals break into a chapter full of the mothers, daughters, wives, sisters, and widows of Master Masons. So, in this 1850's viewpoint, the ladies are just "safer" because a man is present.
Again, more assumptions. I'll see if I can't find any actual set by-laws or other rules that stipulate the "why". However, I wager that the best I'll be able to come up with are "traditions" that answer the "why". Thanks!
Great lecture Jarred; always a pleasure listening to you. Thanks !
Thanks so much!
One more thing. Symbolism would be their downfall that includes freemasons. Wwg1 WGA. Q
Symbolism would be... who's... downfall? All societies, etc., use symbolism. Just look at the end of your post...
The tie looks great Worshipful, it's the short sleeves that are just oh so wrong to me lol.
I completely feel you on this. I feel like if I have on short sleeves then I shouldn't have a tie. Perhaps in a few months I can look into ordering long sleeved shirts too - I'll want them anyway over winter.
You are a moron to call this pathetic man "Worshipful".... in Capital nonetheless...SMH Get a clue.... Why would you worship this puny ignorant fool?
hello. would jabez richardson count if he isn't my direct ancestor but close family or one of the richardsons in texas their cousins? how would i find out if my father was, he carried a masonic card in his wallet and showed his membership he was a master builder is what i thought it said but i was a kid when i saw it and i wouldnt know which lodge?
You can attempt to contact the Grand Lodge of Texas to see if they can come up with any information. They will appreciate you telling them everything you can - his full given name, his dates of birth and death, the best information you have on where he lived... anything may be helpful.
