THE EGYPTIAN MASONIC ORDER UK
ABOUT OUR ORDER
The Egyptian Masonic Order UK, of the Ancient and Primitive Rites of Memphis and Misraïm and the Traditional Egyptian Rite – continuing the Ancient Mysteries of Initiation, but in an Organisation free of discriminatory views – accepts suitable Candidates, freely received from all genders, all ethnicities, all orientations and all faiths. We are a new Order, in an ancient Tradition.
Our Masonic Rites are Symbolic, Philosophical, Hermetic & Esoteric. The venerable symbolism of Ancient Egypt underpins much of our Work, but we also consider the hidden mysteries of Qabalah and Theurgy, as well as Therapeutic Astrology and the Hermetic Sciences, to be our main fields of research. Our approach is highly esoteric, which is immediately apparent, even in the 1st Degree. This continues to an increasing depth through further study.
We hold multiple lines of Masonic, Rosicrucian, Martinist and Esoteric transmission and lineage from several countries, including the US, Western Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and the UK. We keep this intra ordem information private, and do not engage in Masonic politics or academic debate.
In addition to the Egyptian Masonic Rites of Memphis 1-95 and of Misraïm 1-90, we maintain several Inner Traditions – all faithfully preserved, and available for our Initiates after completion of the 3rd Degree of Master Mason or higher. We also accept Master Masons from other Obediences for Affiliation, and independent Lodges for Regularisation.
All Members sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement to protect Order secrecy and Member identity. We expect our Honoured Visitors to apply the same discretion.
Our Grand Lodge and Grand Sanctuary are located in the Zenith of London, UK.
More information can be found HERE.
All enquiries from Masons and non-Masons are welcome.
