Vrijmetselarij en Broederschappen

Dit is absoluut geen volledige opsomming van geheime genootschappen en broederschappen; daar zijn er honderden van. De opsomming is een subjectieve keuze van de samenstellers en voornamelijk ingegeven door de beschikbaarheid van aanvullende brondocumenten, zoals Inwijdingsrituelen.

Ridderorden

Ridders en Ridderorden hebben sinds hun ontstaan in de Middeleeuwen altijd tot de verbeelding gesproken. Tegenwoordig bestaan nog tientallen van deze Orden, de meeste met fantastische namen, die stuk voor stuk claimen de rechtstreekse nazaten te zijn van de Orden, die zijn ontstaan tijdens de kruistochten.
Van twee Orden is die claim onomstreden: de Johanniter Orde en de Souvereine Militaire Orde van Malta. Beide Orden zijn tegenwoordig over de hele wereld actief, onder meer op het gebied van verzorging van zieken en ouderen. Deze beide Orden bestaan ook in Nederland. Hun lidmaatschap staat alleen open voor leden van de Nederlandse adel, respectievelijk protestanten en katholieken.
Voor mensen die deze achtergrond niet hebben zijn door veelal handige zakenlieden en charlatans eigen Ridderorden bedacht. Qua naam lijken dezen veelal op de Johanniter of de Maltezer Orden en ze claimen stuk voor stuk eenzelfde rijke historie te hebben.

Feitelijk zijn de meeste van deze Fantasie Ordes niet meer dan een bron voor inkomsten voor de oprichters. Voornamelijk egotrippers en naïevelingen worden aangetrokken door prachtige kledij, blinkende onderscheidingen en imponerende titels. Daarnaast verkoopt een aantal orden ‘Diplomatieke Paspoorten,’ die overigens geheel waardeloos zijn, maar voor sommigen toch reuze interessant.

Enkele spraakmakende buitenlandse Ordes zijn

In Nederland zijn enkele tientallen van deze Orden actief of zijn actief geweest. Een aantal van hen had slechts enkele leden en heeft zich altijd buiten de publiciteit weten te houden. Een aantal van hen is iets groter geworden (enkele tientallen leden) en een enkeling is (onder meer als gevolg van moord en grootschalige oplichting) bijzonder omstreden geraakt.
Een (bij lange na niet volledige) opsomming (in willekeurige volgorde)

Vanuit een aantal Ridderordes is daarnaast opgericht het Nederlands Laureaat van de Arbeid, die tot op zekere hoogte eenzelfde functie had.

Binnen de Vrijmetselarij is ook een aantal ‘Ridderorden‘ ontstaan. Deze Orden zijn uitsluitend toegankelijk voor Vrijmetselaren, die al een reeks andere graden hebben doorlopen. Zo heeft de Vrijmetselarij bijvoorbeeld een Ridderorde van Sint Jan en een Maltezer Ridderorde. Voorts is een aantal Vrijmetselaren ook actief in niet Maçonnieke Ridderorden.

Rituelen

Freemasonry uses extensively Rituals, formalized texts, full of Symbolism in order to give some acts more depth.
These Rituals are one of the secrets of Freemasonry. Masonic Orders fight severely to the publication of these texts. in the past the Danish Grand Lodge succesfully withheld the broadcasting of a television program in which parts of the Initiation Ritual were reconstructed. The largest Dutch Order, the Grootoosten (Grand Orient) threatened with legal procedures in order to try to have Ritual texts removed from an internet site.
Since the beginning of Freemasonry there have been publications with (parts of) the used Rituals. The Argus Foundation has published on this site and on a series of CD Roms one of the largest collections of (complete) texts of these Rituals and has made these available for a broad public.

The most important form of Rituals, used in Freemasonry are the Initiation Rituals, with which candidates are initiated into Freemasonry or are progressed into a higher Degree or Order. In these texts we find the Symbolical background of that Degree or Order, but also the Secret Passwords, Tokens and Grips.
Besides the Initiation Rituals there are some others in use, so called Additional Rituals, for instance Marriage or Burial Ceremonies.
The texts of all these Rituals is strictly regulated by the Grand Lodges or Supreme Orders; the individual Lodges are not allowed to make their own adjustments.
In the Netherlands the Grand Orient has allowed two Lodges to use their own Rituals, one Dutch Lodge works in the English Emulation Ritual, all the others have to use the Dutch Standard Ritual.
