The Master Mason degree is the crown of the Ancient Craft lodge. It is the culmination of all that has been taught and revealed to the candidate in the two preceding degrees. As he began his Masonic journey, the candidate was initiated into a new philosophical life in the Entered Apprentice degree. After working to subdue his passions and learning silence and obedience, the candidate was passed to the degree of Fellow Craft. After having symbolically mastered the intellectual and philosophical arts and sciences and crossed the threshold from the outer to the inner, from the material to the spiritual, he became ready to be raised to the Sublime degree of Master Mason. Regardless of the candidate’s pace through the degrees, he should always review his personal progress and take action to improve himself in Masonry.

To access the Master Mason Handbook, the pass of a Master Mason must be given. It is password protected only for the reason to test that our newly initiated Master Masons know the pass and are able to spell it. The contents of the manual can be read by and discussed with any person interested in aquiring knowledge in Freemasonary.
