Synopsis

Masonry is based around ritual at its most basic level and, in order to progress through from initiation onwards, the Freemason must be able to learn and use the ritual as appropriate. Recently, the committee turned down a cartoon book that sought to draw humour out of the way in which ritual was learnt. However, behind the humour was an undoubted truth - for many the learning of ritual can become a treadmill that can take the enjoyment out of being a mason. Just as actors, however, hone their skills via a variety of methods to memorise their scripts, so too is it possible to create memory aids for the freemason learning his ritual and this is what this proposal is designed to achieve. It is effectively a combination of Mnemonics and clever memory techniques to aid in the learning and retention of ritual information in all three degrees of Craft Freemasonry.
