Something is off with that picture. That looks like a feminine hand, women are barred from Freemasonry. Women would belong to the Order of the Eastern Star which uses a different symbol, a pentagram.
My father was a mason, but got out before he got to the 32nd degree, my mother was in the Eastern Stars, and I spent a few months in DeMolay which is for 12-21 year olds and basically an indoctrination into Freemasonry.
Please don't hold it against me, we all got out long ago.
The Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons (HFAF) which is now known as Freemasonry for Women is a fraternity for women and organised by women. It was founded in 1913 and membership is open to women of any race or religion, who are able to profess a belief in a Supreme Being. Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest secular fraternal societies. Freemasonry has evolved over the centuries as a system of moral guidance, characterised by allegory and symbolism. It is compatible with all religions enabling men and women of different faiths and backgrounds to follow a common purpose of living a moral life for the good of themselves and others. In the UK there are single sex fraternities such as ours and mixed Fraternities. Our precepts are taught by a series of ceremonies.
