The
Order of Women Freemasons is the oldest and largest Masonic
organisation for women in this country and works on the
lines of regular male Freemasonry.
We have
some 6,000 members in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada,
South Africa, Spain and Zimbabwe. They are grouped into
over three hundred Craft Lodges operating under a Grand
Master and Grand Lodge.
Lodges meet a minimum of four times a year. The financial
commitment is not heavy, although it varies from Lodge
to Lodge.
Apart from the three degrees of Craft Masonry, members
can join other degrees and Orders in Freemasonry. Those
worked at present are:
Order of the Secret Monitor
Degree of Mark Master Mason and Royal Ark Mariner
Holy Royal Arch (Chapter)
Cryptic Degrees
Allied Masonic Degrees
Red Cross of Constantine (Conclave)
Holy Sepulchre and St.John the Evangelist
Knights Templar and Knights of Malta
Commemorative Order of St.Thomas of Acon
Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priest
Ancient and Accepted Rite – Rose Croix of Heredom
and 30th to 33rd Degrees
Royal Order of Scotland
In June
2008 we look forward to celebrating our Centenary as an
Order, when over 5,000 members and guests will gather
for a special meeting at The Royal Albert Hall.
