My day at Accra Girls School started with me filling in for an English teacher. Within about 2 minutes the lesson on "The Tempest" soon became centered on the students asking me questions about what life is like for American teenagers. The girls were especially interested in learning more about the Free Masons (which I found quite odd). It appears that many are under the belief that the Masons worship the devil.

Tell them to read about the Taxil myth. Leo Taxil basically admitted that he made the devil worshipping hoax up.

Hey Pete-
ReplyDeleteI'm having a difficult time with my webcam here at home, so I wasn't able to post a video. Sorry!
That said, please let your students know that Masons do NOT worship the devil! I have been a Free Mason for about two years now and never have I seen any sign of Satan worship. We are an organization that makes good men better by reinforcing moral principles and engaging men in community service. Our rituals and symbols are simply allegories of how we should live our lives. Our biggest symbols are the working tools of ancient masons, like the square and compasses. The pyramid is actually not a historically Masonic symbol.
I hope this helps! If there are more questions, I'd be happy to address them.
Mike
