The Masonic Temple

The Masonic Temple is a platform where both Freemasons and non-Masons, enthusiasts of real art and spiritual growth, connect to the new world of the metaverse.

The offer is very diverse and subscribers can have different levels of participation and intervention in public and private VR and AR events.

Access to the platform allows access to important and very diverse content, through various sources, such as Masonic Libraries; podcasts on current topics about Masonic life and society in general; meetings and exclusive places in “The Masonic Temple” metaverse where the lodges of the most varied rites can organize ceremonies and private events and open to the Masonic and non-Masonic public.

We strongly believe in the true ownership of digital assets in this new era, which is why tokenized assets and blockchain-based characters, avatars and wearables will revolutionize the industry and consequently the way we view Freemasonry today.

All users will have the opportunity to earn with our token and be rewarded for contributing to the success of this unique and ambitious project.

Is it real ?

In the world of a METAVERSE masonic temple, we can have the experience of our life. It can even be more real because technology allows us to do that.

With Metaverse, all these virtual experiences will be even more concrete, since the user will immerse himself in that scenario, through avatars and other augmented reality mechanisms.

Picture yourself in a lodge meeting. Now imagine being able to see the true Columns of the Solomon Temple, the beauty of the Moon in its fullness, the Sun shining, the constellations vibrating, the main colour of the rite flooding the temple, the flame of the candles undulating, feeling the vibration of the Worshipful Master’s gavels knocking on the table and seeing the magic aura that surrounds a Chain of Union.

We will be able to receive Lodge Convocations. Salary increases will be especially touching ceremonies. The Brothers who will be passed the felow craft and raised to Master masons are awarded a Diploma.
