Humble initiate

I just wanted to check in and say hi to everyone. I found at last week that my petition was accepted and that I can expect initiation on January 11th. To say I am excited would be a huge understatement as Freemasonry is something I have wanted to do for years but never felt that I was "worthy" (as corny as that sounds). The phone call last week also left me feeling very humbled.

Anyway, I have been browsing here a bit and figured I would join. I will continue to read the forums everyday but I don't expect to be posting much right off the bat as I am just starting the journey. Once I get on my way, I will contribute more!

Congrats. I hope you get out of your travels what you are seaking. Feel free to ask any question you might have. I saw your picture in your profile and thought you were the master of the lodge with that hat on. :D

Fedora is fine. I am either planning on wearing a fedora or a Humburg. Not sure yet. Our WM this year is wearing a boiler. Either way, the WM is the only one to wear a hat in lodge.

In American Rite that is correct. In my Emulation Lodge which takes several traditions from German workings the Master and both Wardens wear top-hats. Who wears the Hat in most Emulation Rite Lodges? No one of course. The only head coverings allowed are those worn for religious proposes, such as a Yarmulka. Why? Because our Lodges have been consecrated with Wine, Corn, Oil and prayers to the Almighty, consecrated to the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of G-d, and you do not cover up your head on consecrated ground, unless it is a part of your religion, it is like being in Church.

Just an update,

I was initiated last wednesday night in a very humbling and yet amazing cerimony. It was interesting to see the change in personalities, if you will, from before the cerimony to after. Before I felt like a semi-unwanted guest in the building. After it was like I had known these folks (many of whom I had never met before - some I have known all my life) for years.

I look forward to my travels and look forward to progressing through the degrees and hope that the journey is as enlightening as last wednesday was.
