Why would Freemasonry Books be located under Witchcraft/Occult in the Brtish Library if it is about Morality?
Speaking as one knowing from experience, I can tell you simply this. Basically like all other things misunderstood, this too is a misnomer. The Term “Freemason” or “Mason” refers to a Builder. In the times of the biblical days, Masons were the most sought after men, because they held a knowledge of building temples, which required “No Iron Tools” because this would have defiled the temple, which were held in very high regard due to being places of worship. Also, Mason’s unlike many others were “Free” to travel, all the while earning very decent wages, due to having certain passwords and tokens in reference to the craftsmen, where as others had to have permission to enter other countries.

Most witches out there do have morals. I’ve been a practicing Wiccan for nearly six years, and I can honestly say that, even though I’ve done some pretty stupid things in the past, no one can accuse me of being eveil or immoral.

Please don’t ask why Freemason books would be located under witchcraft if the only basis for your argument is morality. A very close friend of my family is a Mason. He’s a Christian, attends chruch every Sunday, and is an all around decent guy. Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s immoral.
