Mode of transmission of tradition and knowledge in Freemasonry

It is a work of theoretical research on the one hand and practical research on the other hand concerning Apprentices and Master Masons. In the form of suggested questionnaire I was able to collect their answers. 600 Masons were contacted and who agreed to fill out the questionnaire. If the theoretical part allows the reader to know what Freemasonry is how it works this research also address the theme of Masonic Initiation. This theoretical part is necessary for the reader to understand what we are talking about and thus better understand the questionnaire. This questionnaire made it possible to compare the answers of Apprentices and Master Masons. The research question focuses on the Masonic experience of Apprentices and more experienced masons. I wanted to know their experience. To get there I had to identify what they had to learn in Masonry before offering them the questionnaire. This work made it possible to lift the veil on a certain number of themes: methodology of transmission fraternal love conflicts disillusions perception of Freemasonry among Apprentices and among masons with at least 10 years of Masonic experience.
