Secrecy of Masonic Rituals

Does occult have a bad, negative, evil meaning? Or, is it something not understood?

Almost anthing could be a secret society: religions, doctors, lawyers, etc. They all have "secret" things that the common individual doesn't know, unless the person seeks and learns.

Khonsu, ooops, you're scales are showing.
You're not supposed to tell about the flies, I thought.
Just like you all buy un-air conditioned cars, beacause you are cold-blooded

I also bet I've got some folks on this board wondering about MY sanity, lol.

I must say brother you are one of the most knowledgeable individuals I have had the pleasure of conversing with in this life.

I salute you.

Thank you for your kind words, Khonsu, they are indeed humbling. However, there are many much more knowledgeable than me, whose research I constantly rely on.
I do hope though that these discussions have provided incentive, both to Brethren and non-Masons here, to conduct research on a truly fascinating and worthwhile topic such as the fraternity.

ML, not doubt many others know more than you do. But, Khonsu is right, you always seem to have an enlightening, easy to understand reply.
Whether it is your knowledge, or that of others, it is wonderful that you can share it with us.
I thank you.
