Not perfect, but close counts…. Laquo; Master Mason Requirements. Beyond the Master Mason Degree. 8220;Going Dark in the Summer”. July 17, 2007. I just wanted to pass on a quick note to the readers of my blog. All of the Lodges in my area “go dark” in the summer months, so there isn’t too much going on right now in my Masonic journey. Right now I am still working on my Master Mason’s catechism and will be “proving up” in September. I’ll tell you all about it then…. Posted in Random musings. Congratulatio...

One week after being raised to the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason, I found myself performing the duties of the Senior Steward during an Initiation Degree. Mind you, I didn’t say that I performed them well or with any confidence, since I didn’t really have a clue what I was doing. 8221; always magically appeared from behind me. I seemed to be the only person in the room who h...

A few nights ago, the Brother in the middle was Raised to the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason.

Not perfect, but close counts…. Laquo; “Going Dark in the Summer”. Should Masonic Lodges Only Allow Elite Members? Beyond the Master Mason Degree. September 9, 2007. As a teacher, my life begins in the fall with a crazy amount of work and activity, and slows down during the summer. It also seems to be true for many Freemason Lodges. The Scottish Rite offers up the the 32nd degree and there is a 33rd degree that can be given to someone for a lifetime of exceptional service. Our Mentor/Teacher is a 33r...

Not perfect, but close counts…. Laquo; Master Mason to Senior Steward in One Week. 8220;Going Dark in the Summer”. June 13, 2007. I have now been a Freemason for 7 months and a Master Mason for 2 weeks. Even though I have just been Raised to the highest level of “Blue Lodge” Masonry, I feel that I am still very much a beginner. The Obligation of a Master Mason that I need to memorize is huge! The rest of the Obligation is quite difficult. The concepts are fairly simple; that of maitaining Masonic sta...
