Our Dear Friends,
The Egyptian Masonic Order UK of the Ancient Primitive Rite of Memphis-Misraim is an international mixed Order of Liberal Esoteric Freemasonry, based in the UK , offering legitimate and traditional Initiation into the Egyptian Rites of Memphis-Misraim - raising our Candidates through the Degrees of Apprentice, Companion (or Fellowcraft), Master Mason and beyond - making ordinary people into Egyptian Masons. We also offer Affiliation for Master Masons from other Masonic Obediences ("Free Brethren"), should they choose to join us. All Members sign an NDA to protect the private transmissions of the Order and the identity of fellow Members. Take a look at our website at:

We are a new Order, in an ancient Tradition. We are based in the Zenith of London, UK. Once an applicant is accepted for Membership, they must endure the First Degree and become an Apprentice (EA). Study is through Order Handbooks, Lectures and Zoom sessions, but active Lodge work and participation is expected, to equip the Apprentice to become a better Egyptian Mason and a better person. The next Grade is that of Companion, or Fellowcraft (FC), where more inward instruction is given. Then, having earned their 'increase in wages', the Companion is then raised to the Sublime 3rd Degree of Master Mason (MM). Once the 3rd Degree of MM is reached, Members can apply for entrance into any of our other Appendant Bodies active under the Jurisdiction of the Sanctuary, working in both Traditional and Esoteric Rites. Lectures and discussions on Hermeticism, Egyptian traditions, esoteric philosophy, neo-Platonism, Qabalah, Gnosticism, classical occultism, theurgy, alchemy, astrology and metaphysics are actively encouraged. Although the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis-Mizraim is the main Rite of our Order - in our Symbolic (or Blue Craft) Lodges from Degrees 1 to 3, and in our Sanctuary from the 4th Degree onwards - we also offer Initiation into a variety of other Traditional and Esoteric Rites, with various Inner Order transmissions which are sub rosa, strictly private, and available on invitation to Egyptian Masons attaining the Higher Degrees. Once initiated into the 3rd Degree of MM, EMO UK Master Masons have the option of receiving an EMO UK Charter to run a Triangle, Just Lodge or Regular Lodge in their own local area, depending on the number of Members. We are also committed to Esoteric Healing, the Rites of which many of our Grand Masters perform in closed Lodge on behalf of the public, the environment and the world's issues in general. Our Order has multiple lineages and lines of transmission, both Traditional and Esoteric (Masonic, Chivalric, Hermetic, Rosicrucian, Alchemical and Theurgical) - including lineages from Yarker, Papus (Gerard Encausse), Kloppel, Ambelain, and others. Our focus is strongly esoteric, occult and spiritual; many famous occultists of the past were members or affiliates of Egyptian Masonry. It may justifiably be described as one of the 'invisible traditions' behind western occultism. The Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis-Misraim will therefore be of especial interest to all those making a committed study of mystical, magical, esoteric and occult subjects of all kinds. We have a full Masonic Curriculum, with a Handbook, Lectures and Exercises for every Degree of the Rite. We have private sites for the Order, where our Members receive tutorials and have access to our curated Library and many unpublished articles on Egyptian Masonry and other related subjects. Twice a year, in Spring and Autumn, we release the free magazine KNEPH, to educate and inform the public on our works. Go to the website to subscribe. More than just a dining club, a hobbyist group, a bourgeois elite, or a social network - this is the ancient, mystical, traditional and genuine Egyptian Masonry. The Path to the LIGHT. As one of our venerable Grand Masters has quoted:
"We are spiritual beings having a physical experience." We agree. So let us commence our Ascension and Return in good company. Application is open to all genders, ethnicities, orientations and faiths. We are a highly diverse and multi-national Order; we believe this to be a great strength, especially for the future of our world. All applicants must believe in a Divine Essence or Higher Intelligence; must be over the age of 21; must have no prior criminal convictions; must be of good character and firm commitment; must be politically moderate; must be ethnically, socially and religiously tolerant; must be able to afford the Dues, Fees and Membership expenses of the Order without detriment to themselves, their families or their businesses. Applicants require a Proposer and a Seconder, so must know or become acquainted with at least one current Member of the Order, or with their Interviewers. An up-to-date CRB check may be required. If a Mason from another Obedience, they must be in Good Standing and provide letters to support this. There is an interview process for all Applicants and acceptance cannot be guaranteed.
