Freemasonry in 25 questions
HORS COLLECTION

Freemasonry is neither a religion nor a cult, but rather an organization that offers a philosophy, a moral system, and a lifestyle that are inherited from the stonecutters of the Middle Ages. Freemasonry does not provide a path to salvation, but rather a reflection on the role of the human being within society, here and now. It aspires to improve humanity one person at a time. With the help of these 25 questions, you can now discover this highly misunderstood fraternity, which has for so long been the subject of some of the wildest myths.
