Freemasonry, a fraternal organisation, has its roots in the local fraternities of stonemasons that regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients from the 14th century.
According to Wikipedia, Freemasonry consists of three degrees: Apprentice, Journeyman or Fellow (now called Fellowcraft), and Master Mason. The degrees are part allegorical morality play and part lecture.
