Legends of the Craft, the society in New York Freemasonry that imparts memorization techniques to strengthen ritual recall so the meaning of Masonry takes root deeper within us, is back.

RW Bro. Anthony says:

A one-hour Masonic education panel designed to spark deeper interest in the role of memory within the Craft. Through three short talks and a guided discussion, Brothers will explore memory as trust, memory as meaning, and memory as practice. The program serves as an accessible introduction to the need for more intentional Masonic memory training, while laying the foundation for future workshops on ritual confidence and recall.

If you can’t get to Utica next Saturday afternoon, use the link to join the Zoom session. RSVP here.

     

‘(Digital) Legends of the Craft lectures’

     
The Fifth Manhattan District and Legends of the Craft continue the popular lecture series, taking it to the web with these three upcoming events. From the publicity:

Greetings Travelers,

We are excited to announce the theme and line-up for this year’s Legends of the Craft Symposium. We are gathering three amazing Masonic lecturers to shed light on the mental aspects of Masonry for our first Digital Symposium. Our lecturers will discuss methods of developing one’s mental processes utilizing tools, instructions, and inspirations from Masonic ritual. This symposium will have three parts and will be conducted over two Thursdays and one Saturday. In addition to the lecturers, each presentation will give the audience an overall discussion that ties together all three days. The idea is to simulate a Journeyman Mason’s travels to different locations, accumulating knowledge.

RSVP here.
