Memphis-Misraim may still be an active rite. here is a link to a site claiming to be of this tradition.

Anyways, I am not ashamed for bashing masons, for I myself do not indulge in such flights of ignorance. I must admit though, that I had my suspicions
about them when I was younger and less wise about occult traditions and the esoteric/exoteric mystery schools. As I know, from reading masonic
literature,and by having masonic friends throughout my life, Freemasonry consists primarily in continuing the traditions of a variety of mystery
schools; i.e. Egyptian, Kabbalistic, Rose+Croix... and the list goes on.
One reason for the "secrecy" that some choose to rage about is merely because of the fact that some of the oral traditions and teachings of
Freemasonry are of a symbolic nature that is not easily understood in normal states of consciousness, and also because some of the masonic teachings
may or may not be a point of contention for some fundamentalist sects who believe that their truth is the only "god-ordained" truth.
Anyone who wants to know a little more about the Freemasons, or just esotericism, alchemy, or spirituality in general, please feel free to click on
the link in my signature; which will lead you to my 4shared where you can download many such texts or view them with adobe reader. Many of them are in
pdf format, so they can be viewed without having to even download them.
Love and Light to you all,
