Greetings and Welcome to Ashler Lodge No. 121 Free and Accepted Masons of the Grand Lodge of Washington

Thank you for being interested enough in Masonry and Ashler Lodge No. 121 to visit our website. I know how busy our existence is these days.  I know if you are taking time to read this you are paying Freemasonry a compliment. So thank you in advance for proceeding on.

Ashler Lodge No. 121 is a regular lodge under the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington. It is, as all Masonic Lodges are, dedicated to making good men better, being a powerful force for good and peace in our society. We are men dedicated to our families, our country, and the needs of our brothers.

A few notes to help you along if you are unfamiliar with Freemasonry. The word Worshipful is an old English word that means “deserving of respect”. The term Worshipful Master refers to the elected leader of the lodge. The term Master refers to that position in the same sense as a ships master refers to the ships captain.  

We have no “masters” other than Masters of the Craft of Brotherhood and Friendship and all Masons worship according to their own religions. We don’t offer salvation in any form.  We do offer the best and oldest fraternity in the United States and the world. One thing that every man should know is that no one will ask you to join. We prefer that men be attracted to our fraternity rather than being asked to join. So if you have been waiting for your father, brother, best friend, etc to ask you to join please ask them, just say “How do I become a Mason” those words will do the job nicely. If you don’t know a Mason to ask please call us or send us an e-mail.

Freemasons are charged to be amiable, discreet, and virtuous. It is said that when a man is a good Mason the world may know that he is one to whom the burdened heart may pour out its sorrow, to whom distress may prefer its suit,  whose hand is guided by justice, and whose heart is expanded by benevolence. In plain language that means we are the good guys.

If you are a Mason and are looking in on Ashler No. 121 or are looking for a lodge please come and join us.  I think you’ll like us. If you are a man 18 years of age or older and of good character please come and joins us. You’ll be happy you did.
