There exists a pervasive notion in the public perception, fueled by subversive conspiracy theorists and malicious mischief makers that Freemasonry is a ‘secret society’ that performs bizarre rites behind closed doors. Nothing excites the imagination of the lunatic fringe more than something that is ‘secret.’ It cannot be denied that at certain times in the past and under certain circumstances, – for example during the Second World War in Hitler’s Nazi Germany – it was necessary for Freemasons to go underground. There are still areas where it is necessary to conceal one’s membership in a Masonic lodge. However, in North America and the free world, members openly display the Square and Compasses indicating their pride in being a member of the fraternity by wearing a ring, lapel pin, or Masonic license plates on their vehicle.
