Masonry? I think it's well documented in the Isles. I read some articles and some documents even go back to 1717.

Actually, that's pretty cool.

1717 is when the GL of Pennsylvania, was set up, I believe.

Recently, I went to a Lodge near here - And I looked at the door knockers - They were only second degree, and I asked about that, and a Gentlemen replied:

"Those are from back when there were only two degrees."

Pretty cool, eh? ;-)

Peace.

EDIT: also, keep in mind other Orders have Sceret Handshakes.
The Moose Lodge, the Order of Oddfellows, etc.
