Fast Track Lodge Education

By improving your Masonic education within your Blue Lodge, you, personally, gain knowledge of the craft of Freemasonry and help to improve Masonic retention of your brethren.

"To set the Craft to work and give them good and wholesome instruction for their labors"


Are you your Lodge’s Masonic Education Officer and have quickly come to the realization that your Blue Lodge Library contains absolutely nothing really helpful with which to train a new brother to bring him up in the craft?

Sure, it has quite a few Freemason books...mostly either very old, very deep and scholarly or whole sets of Encyclopedias of Knowledge…but nothing basic enough to help YOU with the job of training a new initiate to give him a solid Freemason Education.

You have at your fingertips pounds and pounds of books filled with Masonic info, but unless you choose to begin reading them aloud to your new initiates at each of your Education meetings, (snore),... it's going to be very difficult to impart a basic knowledge of Freemasonry in your time allotted.

Training Masonic Apprentices

Or...maybe you want to begin Training Masonic Apprentices, and maybe you found an old Entered Apprentice Quiz, Fellowcraft Quiz and Master Mason Quiz in one of the library drawers,... but none of them have Answer Sheets and you have nothing for the student to study from to be able to TAKE the Masonic education quiz.

So…what is the fastest way to learn Masonic craft...and where do you begin?  Right here.

Are you a new Master Mason who is trying to learn:

1. Freemasonry Symbols…
2. Masonic Blue Lodge Etiquette
    …learning Blue Lodge Do's and Don’ts?
3. Masonic Words and Phrases like cowan, profane, etc.?
4. Why Masonry is the oldest fraternity in the world?
5. What binds it together?

Or, perhaps you are or are about to be a newly elected Worshipful Master…or a Senior Warden who will be Master of the Lodge next year.

You already know a lot about Freemasonry; …perhaps you are even a Masonic scholar. You’re pretty good with your ritual work, but as Lodge Master, you are aware that, essentially, you are the CEO of your Symbolic Lodge and would like to make your year be remembered as a great year.

So, without having to re-read the entire Masonic Library; you just want to brush-up on a few things to school yourself in preparation for your year:

Learn How To:

1. Delegate Responsibilities to Blue Lodge Committees.

2. Increase Masonic Education and Masonic Retention
    through creating an Education Officer position and
    a Mentor Program, thus fulfilling your Grand Lodge’s
    expectations.

3. Be a good Masonic Host at events…after all, you’re the
    man wearing the Master’s hat, so everyone is looking to
    you for direction!

Masonic Certificate of Achievement - Blue Lodge Certificate

Or…perhaps you’re on top of all the above, but just want to present a Masonic certificate to a specific member of your Blue Lodge in recognition of their achievement. Masonic Certificates / Blue Lodge Certificates available are:

1. Blue Lodge Certificate of Appreciation
2. Blue Lodge Certificate of Excellence
3. Blue Lodge Master Mason Certificate
4. Blue Lodge Past Master Certificate

Learn Other Names for the Masonic Blue Lodge:

Historically, there are many names for the “Blue Lodge”.  It can be called a Masonic Lodge, a Blue Lodge, a Symbolic Lodge, an Ancient Craft Lodge, a Craft Lodge or St. John’s Lodge. All are correct.

Freemason Books

There are thousands of Masonic books written about Freemasonry. Many are excellent reading resources, however, it can be a lifelong pursuit to truly understand the Masonic lodge fundamentals of what Masonry is really about. Educating yourself, book by book is a worthwhile, but usually a very long and time consuming process.

1. Entered Apprentice Quiz
2. Fellow Craft Quiz
3. Master Mason Quiz
4. Duties of the Worshipful Master and more.


Educate Yourself in Blue Lodge Fundamentals

You will find information, here, to take the mystery (and a lot of the work) out of learning the craft of Freemasonry…. whether you are studying for one of the three degrees (Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft or Master Mason)… or are ascending (coming up) through the twelve officer chairs to, one day, graduate toward becoming the Worshipful Master in your Masonic lodge...you will learn each Officers' duties.

For instance,

Q: Who was the first man to wear the lambskin apron?
A:  Melchizedek, the first High Priest under Abraham.

Blue Lodge Education is the beginning of knowledge. Masonic knowledge opens the door to understanding…and, much like King Solomon’s wisdom in biblical times; our understanding of the Masonic craft becomes necessary to fully embrace its rays of light.

There is nothing esoteric (mysterious) about Masonry except the grips and passwords. These you will learn in your Mother lodge…the Blue Lodge in which you were or will be raised.

As your understanding becomes wisdom, others will request your help, your presence, and your guidance.

Freemason Symbols and Masonic Words and Phrases

Masonic Education:  This is how Freemasonry has survived through the centuries. Like your predecessors, you will learn the Masonic symbols which have come down to us through the generations…not just from books, old manuscripts, engravings and Masonic ritual and degree work, but through the nurturing of each of its members,… fellow Brother Masons coaching and helping each other.

They, in turn, tutor others about its biblical history, its age-old tenets (principles), and the discipline and guidance each man needs as we fulfill our social responsibilities to one another.

As your step-by-step Masonic education continues, it is my sincere hope that you will find this information to be both enlightening and to be of value to you in your journey toward the Light and that it provides to you the fastest way to learn Masonic craft.
