Visit to Freemason Lodge

Whilst researching into the Illuminati, me and Mathew came across the fact that Freemasonry had ties and links with the original Illuminati and that many members of the Illuminati were Masons. This led us to push the idea of going to the Freemason's Lodge on the Tettenhall Road in Wolverhampton to see if someone there would be willing to give us an interview.

We knew that there may be a strong possibility that they may not be willing to talk to camera and may tell us to leave, so we took a handheld flip camera as well as our normal DSLR just so that if they do refuse to give us an interview that we would have this recorded in true documentary style.

We went to the Lodge on 28th February 2012 and we met a Mr J Barry Rouse who is the Provincial Grand Secretary for the Stafford Region. We had thought up some questions that we would ask the interviewee but Mr Rouse asnwered all our questions in practically 2 questions as he was very thorough with his answers. 

Meeting such a high member of the lodge enabled us to get an in-depth insight into not only the Freemasons as a whole but also in regards to religions, speculations surrounding the Freemasons and about the different ceremonies that take place in the lodges.

We were then given a tour of the Lodge but were asked not to record upstairs where the ceremonies take place because if we were to ever become masons ourselves it would "ruin the experience" although I still don't see how that would be the case.
