It is in NO WAY related to satanism. Anyone who says that simply doesn't know what they're talking about. However, it IS a secret organization. True masons (there are also "co-masons") are men only. I am not a mason, but many people in my family are. >From what I have read and heard, the organization is involved at some level with what some might think was 'magic', but might better be described as 'ritualism'. These people VERY strongly support one another. Members are often as close as family. For those of you that don't already know, "Shriners" are masons - this group is the one that has raised millions of dollars for childrens hospitals (not exactly the sign of a Satanic organization, is it?).
