Look to the East: A Ritual of the First Three Degrees of Freemasonry
$39.99The complete work of the Entered Apprentice, Fellow-craft and Master-mason’s Degrees, with their ceremonies, lectures, etc. It has doubtless been a matter of comment and surprise among the Members of the Fraternity that all the books which are avowedly intended to serve as guides to the Work of a Lodge invariably contain more or less than their professed object demands. They are usually deficient in the very points that may be most needed, rendering the use of a separate Monitor unavoidable; while, on the other hand, they include a great deal of information on matters with which every Mason is necessarily perfectly familiar, and which it is neither needful nor desirable to be communicated to the uninitiated. It has been the aim of the Compiler of this little volume to avoid both these defects: first, by omitting all Passwords, Grips, and other esoteric subjects; and second, by giving the Work of the first three degrees monitorially as well as ritually complete, in plain language for ready reference, and entirely free from the tedious perplexities of cypher or other arbitrary and unintelligible contractions.

This version is based on English Craft Ritual; however the techniques and methods are equally valid for any Masonic Ritual system. Here are some of the Kindle Reviewers’ comments; “Just finished reading this book and was enthralled by the explanation for time keeping and method of learning. I’m far from the best for remembering long passages so this will help and I will put it to the test. I’ve just passed to 2nd degree & will start on the 1st degree charge just so I know it. As you can imagine it’s a fairly long piece and when you’re standing there it’s a bit daunting. Thank you for writing this and now I can use this method for future reference”. – Mr G. 28 July 2013 “I wish this was available when I first joined the Craft! Essential guidance for both the new Freemason who is daunted by the work that may lie ahead, but also the seasoned ritualist whose advancing years have made it more difficult to recall and retain like he used to! Also a useful tool for Lodge Mentors to have in their armoury to encourage the less experienced mason to progress” – Jim Tull, 28th June 2013 “This book was written mostly for brothers working under the Grand Lodge of England, so the terms used for the various parts of the work, as well as some of the officers’ titles can be confusing to those of us in the southern U.S., but Brother Smith still delivers a good lecture on both the joys and importance of the ritual, as well as an effective means to help learn and polish your parts. My mentor took me by a slightly different path, but I still recognized some of the things they made me do; this book offered more light on why to do it that way, and some options to improve the process. An excellent essay, and we’ll worth the modest price. I’m sure these methods can be applied to all types of learning. Give it a try!” – Thomas E Ezell, July 2nd 2013
