Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. He who seeks to draw Masonic wages in gold and silver will be disappointed. The wages of a Mason are earned and paid in their dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a Mason.
The Grand Orient of Slovenia (abbreviated VOS) is an independent Masonic organization, founded in 2012. Unlike the traditional and conservative branches of Freemasonry, the Grand Orient of Slovenia operates within the framework of liberal and adogmatic Freemasonry. It cultivates a more free-thinking tradition, rooted in the principles of the French Grand Orient, and is of mixed type, including both men and women.
The Grand Orient of Slovenia is currently a member of the following international Masonic associations:
Together we shall move forward. The journey upward is also the journey outward. The Great Work calls us to progress beyond ourselves.
Exploration of philosophical and humanistic themes: Liberty, Conscience, and Human Dignity.
Study of symbols, allegories, sacred architecture (such as the building of the Temple), and moral teachings.
Encouraging service, civic duty, and support for humanity — as the Mason’s labor in the world’s quarries.
Strengthening the bonds among Brothers and Sisters through mutual respect, equality, and loyalty — the cement that unites living stones into the Temple of Humanity.
The cultivation of character, self-discipline, integrity, responsibility, and self-reflection — guided by the symbols and rituals of the Craft, in pursuit of inner light.
Fostering open discourse, the plurality of viewpoints, and a steadfast commitment to freedom of thought and expression — in the spirit of tolerance and the search for Truth.
