=Craft Masonry=

A craft lodge is a term used to describe a type of lodge within the Freemasonry fraternity. A lodge is a gathering of Freemasons who meet on a regular basis to participate in Masonic activities and rituals. A craft lodge focuses solely on the first three degrees of Freemasonry. In this sense, the term "craft" refers to the operative stonemasons who founded the Masonic guilds in medieval Europe. In Freemasonry, the craft lodge symbolically represents the stonemasons' workshop and serves as the foundation for all other Masonic degrees and orders.

Craft lodges are typically led by a Master Mason and have officers including Senior and Junior Wardens, a Treasurer, and a Secretary. The lodge meets regularly for craft business and ritual, and members engage in a variety of activities, including degree work, charitable events, and social gatherings. In Freemasonry, the craft lodge plays an important role as it is the gateway to the larger fraternity and provides a strong foundation for Masonic education and growth.

=Higher and Side Degrees=

After completing the three Craft Degrees in Freemasonry, many members choose to pursue further advancement within the organisation by joining one of several higher degrees. These degrees offer a deeper understanding of the principles and philosophies of Freemasonry and provide members with unique opportunities for personal growth and development. The higher degrees of Freemasonry are organised into various orders or systems, each with its own distinctive teachings and rituals. Some of the most well-known higher degrees include the Royal Arch, the Mark Master, the Knights Templar, and the Scottish Rite. Each of these degrees builds upon the lessons learned in the Craft Degrees and provides members with new insights and perspectives on the nature of Freemasonry and its role in the world.
