Something of general interest perhaps? Something that would help all of us to live better lives?

Or are those things alone so interesting (in and of themselves) to practitioners of these arcane rites, that a meaningful underlying ethics or metaphysics would be redundant?

Just asking. Not trolling.
Like many other organizations, their primary purpose is to improve mankind's existence through fellowship, charity, and education.
They basically work to improve themselves by helping others. They believe a man is judged by his heart and his deeds. The better his caring and deeds, the better life he leads. I see nothing wrong with that at all.

Ignore the stupid speculation shows on discovery. They are only intended to create controversy in the weak mind.
The tiniest bit of research would have provided this same answer.
