- A brief overview of some of the features and pitfalls that typify and characterise the Masonic Ritualist. It was written by M. W Bro. Kenneth Aldridge PGM, but I don't have a date or provenance for the work.
Thank you so much for sharing this brothers teaching. Of all the teacjings, lessons videos and volumes of depth of knowledge this one struck me this morning to the core of my soul and I thank you for that.
Be prepared. Be attentive and aware. Share. Care. Support. Quiet. And include. Be inclusive through discipline in kindness, knowledge, sharing and supporting. Know when to speak and when to not.
Rituall should be immersive and inclusive.
I am.
In gratitude ❤
Intention is the key. Adding a "the" or "and" although not perfect, is mostly never be given a second thought. Forgetting an entire section of an obligation is another matter altogether. Brothers want to help brothers, and an earnest effort goes a long way.
Another fantastic video. Thank you❤
Only veteran ritualists who have done hundreds of parts, or a single part dozens of times to a word perfect standard has the leniency to adapt miniscule aspects of a ritual - whether it be for better flow, grammar or some other point (and it is usually with the purpose of improving the part).
One will find however, that the best ritualists DO NOT tend to stray from the words; except perhaps in the instances where they've forgotten a word here or there in the moment and try to keep the flow without a prompt.
There are ritualists, then there are RITUALISTS.
With that being said; brethren, your aim should always be for word perfect perfection. Always. Even if you don't reach nail it during the degree, your standard of preparation will put you in good stead for a great performance on the floor.
Shared this on the Masonic page . Well done W.Bro
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello bro. I have a question For You.
In York rite's ritual for E.A ritual , one rap is for , two raps are For? And three raps everybody stands up ?
I'll tell you between this , stoic wisdom channel and music, applying the degrees , can only improve and add quality to your life, thereby affecting who we deal with on a daily basis
How did you come across the sands 🤔
This is the antithesis of my lodge. I was doing the questions in the 3rd and had to stop because a PM in the east was busy talking. If I'm on the floor doing ritual then I expect all to be quite and listen, just as I would do for them. The concept of understanding the ritual is a hard one for me to get across to most brethren. As I asked our ipm after a visit to another lodge 'do you think the candidate understood any of that?'. Time to bang my head against the wall.
I hope that PM was heavily censured. I'd be absolutely furious. Also shame on the WM for not having nipped it in the bud.
@@diogeneslantern18 Afraid not, RWM is not in the least assertive, and this is his second year, I heard later that a visiting RWM told the PM to shut up. We have some very good and keen OBs in office but it will take time to get them to the chair.
min.10:18 this masonic handshake looks a bit twisted 🙃 Thank you for your vids! 🌞🌀🌛
So mote it be ❤
Absolutely great, May I have a printed copy?
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
✌🏾
Bro. And the ritual has to be memorized? Or can it be read?
In my jurisdiction at least, it has to be memorised. Books are definitely not allowed!
Almost all jurisdictions will require it to be memorised
How do you expect to internalise the meaning of the words if you merely read them?
I'm told that in Germany the ritual is always read.
@@iainmulholland2025 That says more about Germans than it does about Freemasonry.
The cartoons are distracting and tacky.
