Welcome to Lodge Anima No.1223

It is with great pride and fraternal warmth that we welcome you to Lodge Anima No.1223 — a sanctuary of tradition, artistry, and brotherhood nestled in the heart of Glasgow. Founded in 1920 by pioneers of the silver screen, our Lodge stands as a living tribute to the union of Freemasonry and cinema: two worlds bound by symbolism, storytelling, and the pursuit of light.

For over a century, our Brethren have gathered in harmony to uphold the timeless values of integrity, charity, and enlightenment. Each meeting, each ritual, and each moment shared within these walls echoes the spirit of those who came before — visionaries who saw in Freemasonry not only a moral compass, but a stage upon which character is refined and community is forged.

Whether you are a Brother seeking connection, a guest drawn by curiosity, or a historian exploring our legacy, we invite you to journey through our pages. Discover the cinematic roots of our Lodge, the distinguished lineage of our Past Masters, and the ceremonial elegance that continues to define our path.

May your visit be enlightening, your heart uplifted, and your understanding deepened. Lodge Anima No.1223 is more than a chapter in Masonic history — it is a living narrative, and you are now part of it.
