Freemasons use signs (gestures), grips or tokens (handshakes), and certain words to admit legitimate members and visitors to their meetings. Each Grand Lodge is free to create its own rites, so the signs, grips and tokens do vary from territory to territory. Signs, grips and tokens are also changed periodically to add or omit sections, modernize the language used in the verbal portion, and sometimes changing word order to identify an impostor.
Masonic Grand Lodge rites also can only be valid for a particular jurisdiction for a set amount of time, so they are difficult for an outsider to verify. Today, an unidentified visitor may be required to produce actual hard copy documentation in addition to showing their knowledge of the prevailing rituals for that Grand Lodge. Of course, wearing a well-crafted piece of Masonic jewelry probably wouldn’t hurt!
