Look to the East


Book Description

The 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.




Look to the East


Book Description

"Look to the East: A Ritual of the First Three Degrees of Freemasonry" by Ralph P. Lester is the classic and easy to understand guide for every Mason. It details in simple and plain language the rituals of the Entered Apprentice, Fellow-Craft, and Master-Mason's degrees and the general procedures followed by most lodges when they hold their regular meetings. While this time-honored guide is a helpful reference for both new and experienced Masons, it does not reveal the closely held secrets of this enduring fraternity. It does however show that the public has nothing to fear from a Masonic Lodge or its members and that the traditions and rituals of Freemasonry are logical and honorable. Consisting of descriptions of ceremonies, transcripts of lectures, the organization's constitution, by-laws, and the rules for the installation of officers, this guide contains all the information that a member might need to refer to from time to time. "Look to the East" is an important addition to the library of any Freemason and is a fascinating and informative read for any person curious to learn more about these mysterious organizations. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
