Words can not explain, nor are they needed i guess as all Brother Masons before me have gone through and experienced their EA degree. I'm sure that the following degrees are just as good, if not better in some respect but NOTHING will compare to that first experience entering the Lodge room...
Welcome Brother, I hope that you enjoy the site as much as I do - The wealth of knowledge and experience in here amazing and even a little overwhelming at times.
Our Lodge has a see through perspex G hanging on a thin wire, or maybe even fishing line, suspended in the Lodge Room.
It may not be Gold or flashy, but it serves its purpose well. My PM pointed out that simplistic items such as the G is all that is needed to reflect the symbolism behind each...
Just reading through my initiation pack and thought id share with you all what's inside.
1) Leather Document Folder
2) Congratulations and Welcome letter from Freemasons Victoria (The United Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Victoria)
3) CONSTITUTIONS OF THE UNITED GRAND...
I was very very impressed with our SW when he gave me my final "address" - This seemed to go for ages and much longer than the others - he didn't slip nor stutter through it at all and I was so appreciative of the time and effort that he and each of my Brothers put in to make my degree what it...
Thank you Brothers,
Tonight a local Lodge is conducting a EA degree and I have been asked to go visiting to witness the degree and then celebrate afterwards. It will be nice to "see" it all without being in the hotseat!
It sure did thank you :)
I am unsure as to what page was open last night during my degree and in all the excitement I forgot to ask in the end. I will have to ask my DC.
Tonight I went through my initiation ceremony and what an experience it was - wow wow wow.
I am extremely humbled to be able to call each and every recognized Mason from all over the world a Brother.
I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to those that have welcomed me to this forum...
Well, that solves that one - I was not sure if this was the case so I thought i'd better find one incase :)
Thank you Tx4ever for your quick and informative response :)
Hi gents
Tonight I will be taking part in my EA initiation and I have been asked to bring my own Bible to be open during the proceedings.
I guess I'm looking for a nice passage for the book to be open too and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
I have a 4 year old son and EVERYTHING is a race or a challenge to him. From being first to the bathroom, kitchen or bedroom to swimming lessons (racing other kids) and everything inbetween. When he is not first/winner he loses his emotions and breaks into tears and its really starting to cause...
Amazing stuff right there - Thank you!
These exact same principles are what drives Anti-Masonic discussions, misconceptions and misinformation that is so ramped today. Those that can master fear and use it correctly, will always attract followers and gain simple control over their lives. By...
I'm just reading my acceptance letter from the Lodge and on the night of initiation we receive a "Book of Constitutions". Now I'm not sure if this is a code book of such or if it's directly related to the Lodge it's self because our Lodge is an official organisation registered as such with the...
I have seen this answered a few times now on the forum and to give a simple answer - There is no real difference as both reflect the same thing. The reason why some states are different comes down to the GL of the state and an accident in history as to the office title for the state.
Here is a...
Today my Lodge had its annual Christmas gathering for all of the extended families and it was my families and I's first social get together with my future brothers.
I felt very nervous walking up the stairs as I only really new one of the guys and he was not even there today. I lead my family...
