I am member of OES-PHA and have been traveling since April 1995. As far as people hearing "What sisters are taught"?, "What do symbols mean"? "Are things more of a traditon and not a secret"? You can ask a member of the order these questions, BUT... she will never tell you. I gurantee it. She will only let her "Light" shine. The only way you will know is if you are initiated.
People have opinions of what Masons and Eastern Stars are about. What we do, our purpose? Whether we are "relevant"? How do you know if someone is a member"? Do we worship the Devil"?
WT? All kinds of "Foolishness"!!! For anyone who wants to "See the Light"... please don't ask an Eastern Star or a Mason that.
I'm not concerned at all with people who have these views because if it truly did not matter to them, why ask? You concern yourself with things that you care about. If it is meant for you to know... you will find out when the time comes.
