    The Criticality of our Individual Degrees and Catechisms

    For clarity that is a modern version where someone has updated the language of the originals, here's one from 1874 that would accompany the degree ceremonies from Perfect workings: https://archive.org/details/cu31924030313070 It's interesting to note that all of the different variations of the...

    The Criticality of our Individual Degrees and Catechisms

    Obviously I could be wrong as my comparison/assumption is only based on what I've been told and what I've read from US brethren over the last couple of decades. However, you're all in a position to help me with my masonic learning of the day as below is a link to the Lectures that I'm referring...

    The Criticality of our Individual Degrees and Catechisms

    The difficulty here is that during the 20th Century masonic boom English Lodges changed focus from the Lectures (known as Catechisms in the US) being major work of a Lodge to Degree Ceremonies. Even the Emulation Lodge of Improvement works the Lectures less than it did at its inception. The...

    Understanding the Handbook

    As Winter says, this is stuff that you shouldn't be trying to do on the Internet but should be talking face to face with your fellow Lodge Officers about. It would be a good idea to find out if your Lodge holds a Lodge of Instruction or Practice (it may be called something else) but this is...

    Any Masonic Lodge in Qatar?

    I want to be a Freemason

    That, I'm afraid, is what can happen when you live in a country where western style fraternities and groups are not particularly welcome. All you can do is keep trying or find a different hobby.

    I want to be a Freemason

    There are some things that you need to be aware of and the first is that this is not going to be a quick process for you as you don't have a Freemason to ask about joining his Lodge.

    Your own Grand Lodge is the place to go for definitive information about Freemasonry in any country you are going to travel to.
