Secret Societies use extensively rituals and formalized texts, full of symbolism in order to give some acts more depth.
Masonic Orders fight severely to the publication of these texts. In the past the Danish Grand Lodge succesfully withheld the broadcasting of a television program in which parts of the initiation ritual were reconstructed. The largest Dutch order, the Grootoosten (Grand Orient) threatened with legal procedures in order to try to have ritual texts removed from an internet site.
Since the beginning of Freemasonry there have been publications with (parts of) the used rituals. Research group Squin de Florian and the Argus Foundation have compiled one of the largest collections of (complete) texts of these rituals and have made these available for broad public access.
The most important form of rituals, used in Freemasonry are the Initiation rituals, with which candidates are initiated into Freemasonry or are progressed into a higher degree or order. In these texts we find the symbolical background of that degree or order, but also the secret pass words, tokens and grips. Besides the initiation rituals there are some others in use, so called additional rituals, for instance marriage or burial ceremonies. Texts of all these rituals is strictly regulated by the Grand Lodges or Supreme Orders; the individual lodges are not allowed to make their own adjustments.
