The Freemasons are a secretive organisation cloaked in mystery. To some, they are a cult or a dark brotherhood behind world events. To others, they are misunderstood, and far less mysterious than conspiracy theories would have us believe. What do we really know about them? There's only one way to find out: to try to join them. From visiting the Grand Lodge in London to learning the Rituals and finally making an application; becoming a fully-fledged Freemason is harder than I thought. Longer too! But that's where a not-so-secret Facebook group comes in...

From my investigation, I do not believe that they are a malicious organisation of Satan worshiping cultists. Instead, it had more in common with an upper-class gentleman’s club. The Freemasons have their secrets for sure, but none that are particularly scandalous. The reality of the Freemasons is that it’s a medieval self-help group, with a bunch of rituals that you need to memorise. There are times when reality is stranger than fiction, but this is not one of those times.

I hope you enjoyed this one, it's rather different to what I usually do. It has more of a subjective and personal flavour to it. It was a blast to make! Thank you all for 676k subscribers!
