    Operative Masonry

    January 7, 2019

    WM and brethren this talk has been condensed to almost a bare outline and omits a lot of detail, but there is still enough for us to see where quite a deal of our ritual originated. There were many grips, signs, and words, some of which will be given.

    When a big underta...

    The Lambskin Apron

    April 16, 2018

    Unknown

    In Masonic symbolism the Lambskin Apron holds precedence. It is the initial gift of Freemasonry to a candidate, and at the end of life’s pilgrimage it is reverently placed on his mortal remains and buried with his body in the grave.

    It is highly significant for all Masons to reflect, every once in a while, upon a realistic evaluation of the present condition of our individual characters in order to truly see where we stand in this magnificent on-going process of perfection.

    The Very Rev H. G. Michael Clarke, Ma.

    Since I first began to find in masonry more than the performance of rites and ceremonies, I have wanted to know how it originated. That is to say, I was curious why men took up speculative masonry; for there is no mystery about the old lodges of the operative masons, n...

    Martin P.S. Haywood

    This symbolically represents the diverse character of the life we lead with its dark and light periods, its difficulties and achievements, its promises and disappointments. But what of its origin and why has it been deemed so important, being used, not only in the trac...
