There is a common perception of Freemasons as some kind of secret movement, but in reality, this is not the case. We are open. We operate within the official framework of our country and have only two secrets:

1. None of us can reveal in the profane world that our brother is a Mason unless he chooses to disclose it himself.

2. No one can participate in our ritual unless he is a Mason.

These secrets are easy to explain. Our goal is to improve the world through the improvement of the individual. And the Masonic ritual is a generator of brotherly love, operating in silence and only within lodges, from where we, enlightened, carry this love to others in the civil world.

Our ideals have remained unchanged for 300 years: liberty, equality, and fraternity. In our work, we strive to explain these concepts rationally and concretely, proving again and again that in this way, human communal life attains its best and most meaningful form.

The conditions for joining us are simple—everything depends on a person’s desire and readiness to undergo the ritual trials. We, in turn, will be glad to expand our community for the good and success of our beloved country, Belarus.
