Generally, a lodge is made of logs.
There is no single leader of Freemasonry. Each lodge is a member of a grand lodge for its jurisdiction. Usually this is by state, province, or other country-defined regional borders, but not necessarily. Each grand lodge is made up of members that are elected from among their constituent lodges. The Grand Master of the grand lodge is a sort of president over their jurisdiction for their year of service. All grand lodges throughout the world are equal, there is no higher body or person over them.
A ceremony lodge is a dedicated space used for spiritual or cultural ceremonies, often associated with Indigenous practices. These lodges serve as a sacred environment for rituals such as sweat lodges, vision quests, or healing ceremonies, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The structure is typically made from natural materials and designed to create a communal atmosphere, fostering connection among participants and with the spiritual world. The ceremonies held in these lodges often emphasize respect for nature and the importance of tradition.
I'm guessing its a nest. Either a bird nest or water mammal.
Sod and lodge are related in that both terms can refer to traditional building practices, particularly in the context of indigenous or early settler architecture. Sod refers to layers of grass and soil used as building materials, often in the construction of homes in areas with limited timber. A lodge, such as a sod lodge, is a type of dwelling made from such materials, showcasing the practical use of local resources for shelter. Thus, sod is a key material in the construction of certain types of lodges.
Lodges were traditionally made out of various materials depending on the region and culture. For example, Native American lodges called tepees were made from animal skins, like buffalo hide, stretched over a framework of wooden poles. In other parts of the world, lodges may have been made from materials such as bark, grass, thatch, or mud.

The lodges made of log posts covered with dirt and grass are known as earth lodges. These structures were traditionally used by some Native American tribes, particularly those in the Plains region. Earth lodges provided insulation and protection from the elements, utilizing natural materials readily available in their environment. The roofs were typically thatched with grasses and soil, blending the lodges into the landscape.
Lodges and tepees are both traditional forms of shelter used by indigenous peoples, but they differ in structure and materials. Lodges are typically constructed with a frame of wood covered in materials such as bark or thatch, while tepees are cone-shaped tents made of animal skins or canvas stretched over wooden poles. Both structures provide protection from the elements, but tepees are more portable and easily assembled, while lodges are more permanent and offer greater insulation.
Not only have there been female Freemasons in the past, but there are currently female Freemasons today. It's a complicated question; Grand Lodges following the tradition of the United Grand Lodge of England (the oldest Grand Lodge of Freemasonry) do not permit female members. This includes all US Grand lodges of Free and Accepted Masons, the Grand Lodge of Scotland and the Grand Lodge of Ireland. The third of the Old Charges, (the governing rules of Freemasonry), states: "The persons admitted Members of a Lodge must be good and true Men, free-born, and of mature and discreet Age, no Bondmen, no Women, or immoral or scandalous Men, but of good Report." There are at least two historical instances in which a woman was initiated. In the 19th centurey Mrs. Richard Aldworth was duly obligated both as a Mason after witnessing a Tiled lodge. The lodge members felt it was the only way to maintain secrecy. The second instance concerns Helene, Countess Hadik Barkoczy, born 1833, and "made a Mason" in Lodge Egyenloseg, in 1875. Women are accepted as members in some French lodges and there are some groups in the US that practice co-masonry (co-ed) but these are considered irregular or clandestine by most Masonic Lodges.
Earth lodges are made from clay, tree, and dirt. Tipis are made of tree bark and/or animal skins
