What Is 'Freemason Information'? A unique internet website about Freemasonry – an assortment of Masonic BLOGs – a collection of stories, essays and articles about Freemasonry – a place for some of the most recognized and respected Masonic writers of today to showcase their work. 'Freemason Information' is all of the above.

Brother Greg Stewart, aka The Masonic Traveler, describes the site this way,

“The sole purpose in creating this site is to organize and share this information to as wide an audience as possible, presenting it in as instructive and concise a format as possible. Specifically, it is intended for the interested onlooker and the newly raised entered apprentice mason, but it also presents insight to the seasoned master as well. Greg's own interests in Freemasonry range from its present role in society, its history, and in particular to its esoteric recesses.”

The first time I looked at the site, I felt like the old saying, "I was lost as a goose in a snow storm". But, after a few minutes I found that I had discovered a real Masonic treasure. Of course I don't agree with everything I read on the site, but it does make me think, which in my opinion is as important as the information you are reading.

Regarding the pros and cons of the site, The pros are the volume of information. The site is running over with articles and stories about almost every phase of Freemasonry. The cons are also the volume of information. You would have to read for many hours and many days to ever catch up with the large number of articles and stories available.
