It is honored as one of the oldest secret societies in the world.
But after centuries of dressed in the mystery, members of One Freemasons Lodge finally broke their silence on some of his age -old traditions.
A clip of 78 seconds uploaded by the London Masons on Tiktok has given a glimpse behind the scenes of the old brotherly organization.
The video plays on a recent trend that circulates on the social media platform in which people from a certain group of stereotypes are tackled around their daily activities.
Each Stonemasons member starts his piece-to-camera by saying: “I am a freemason, of course me …”, before I revealed a common trope about the organization.
The first member admits that he takes his Regalia case 'everywhere I go', while another brags about knowing all the words of the English national anthem before playing the melody on his piano.
Other members are crazy about how they always have traditional white gloves with them, while another joke admits that he forgets his 'ritual' before he pretends that he is sanding his book for the right words.
And in the last joke of the video, two stone goods pretend they are about to reveal the secret handshake of the group – before they get up his hands on their face in a mocking gesture.

London Freemasons said that the videos were a 'great way to show the human face' of Freemasonry and to help invalidate the myths of the organization '.
But other commentators on Tiktok were less enthusiastic, with one person called it a 'chic boy's club'.
Another user also wrote: 'I am a freemason, of course I am really weird', while another mocked the group by saying: 'I am a freemason, of course I go out with speed -crossing tickets because the chief commissioner is in my lodge. '
A fourth user said, “You know what, I don't think these are the boys who secretly run the world.”
Freemasonry was originally based on guilds made by Steenhouwers in the 14th century.
While the old stonemasons traveled from Job to Job, the handshakes were made to recognize the experience of a man, where every level of Mason uses a different handshake.
Gloves and aprons, which were worn by the stonemasons for protection, are still worn today and are more decorated as a freemason climbs the ladder within the organization.
The square and the compasses, the trowel and lead level, tools that every stone heap needed are now internationally recognized insignia of the Freemasons.
