Ritual in Mind: A Memory System for Learning Masonic Ritual Tools
Ritual in Mind offers a visual memory system for learning Masonic ritual and is an ideal alternative to Masonic Mnemonics. It is intended both to nurture younger Masonic brethren into learning the ritual and to give a helping hand to the rest of us. The author has applied his research into memory retention in learning Masonic ritual and explores the theory behind visual memory retention techniques and applies this to the working tools of the first three degrees in the Craft. In addition, Ritual in Mind is an essential text to support the mentoring process for Provincial Mentoring schemes. A text like this is an ideal gift from the Province, lodge or proposer to their initiate, encouraging them to take an active role in lodge ceremonies and to prevent the natural wastage of brethren who become disenchanted with Freemasonry as they feel they cannot become fully engaged in the workings of their respective lodges.

Royal Arch Talks
Michael (Mike) Karn became a Freemason in 1987. He researched to find the answers to his many queries regarding the Order, eventually leading him to present his findings by giving Masonic talks. He has had two previous books published by Lewis Masonic, Lodge Talks and Mark and Ark Talks. Mike is a member of the research lodges of Temple of Athene and Quatuor Coronati and has written many Masonic papers for presentation and published articles. In 2019, he was appointed by the Grand Lodge as Prestonian Lecturer, his subject being Freemasonry and the Great War. Mike is a member of lodges and chapters in London and Middlesex and a Grand Officer in the Craft, Royal Arch, and Mark Degrees. There are 25 talks in this book covering a range of interesting Royal Arch topics, including: Origins of the Royal Arch Linking the Craft and the Royal Arch Royal Arch Matters Royal Arch Ritual The Sojourners Hiram Abif Moses, Aholihab and Bezaleel The Fall of Babylon King Solomons Temple The talks have been written primarily to be presented at convocations. However, they will also clarify more about the Royal Arch and the characters involved and answer matters about the Order that some may find confusing. Hopefully, they will explain too why there is an indissoluble link between the Craft and the Royal Arch, why they are to be considered as one organisation, and why a Master Mason should complete his journey in pure Antient Masonry. Each talk is separate and relatively detailed; if presented as written, each will last about 30 minutes. But if it is felt that a talk is too long, it can easily be reduced by omitting sentences, paragraphs, or other details from the talk without changing the main topic. Some of the information and dates in the talks have been included to explain a particular situation more clearly and may be required to answer any questions. The book has been produced in a convenient spiral-bound design so that a talk can be read straight from the book and the pages easily turned. If presenting a talk, above all, make the talk and any subsequent discussion as enjoyable as possible, Freemasonry is a wonderful fraternity we should all enjoy! Ring Bound 291 Pages
Secret Handshakes and Rolled-Up Trouser Legs
If you really want the truth behind all the myths and misconceptions about Freemasonry this book is for you. Secret Handshakes and Rolled-up Trouser Legs takes its title from the fact that the few things that most non-Masons are able to say about Freemasonry are that it is a secret society, whose members attend meetings where they wear aprons, identify each other by secret handshakes and roll-up their trouser legs. The book does not set out in any way to proselytise; neither does it attempt to justify the case for the existence of Freemasonry. Indeed, having read the book, the reader may well still continue to be left feeling antagonistic towards the Order - but at least he will be better informed as to the reasons why. Appealing not only to the non-Mason inquisitive about Freemasonry but also to the relatively new Freemason who wants to know more about the organisation he has joined. Written by a senior Freemason with the non-Mason specifically in mind, the book attempts to redress the balance by providing an opportunity for the reader to find out what Freemasonry is all about, it also provides a source book for the Freemasons who may need to answer questions asked by friends and family. The book answers such questions as: How do you become a Freemason ? Why do Masons wear aprons? What really goes on in a lodge room? Why do Freemasons roll up their trouser leg? Is there really a 'funny handshake'? Are there such things as woman Freemasons? Do Freemasons really get the best jobs, get off speeding tickets and always get planning permission? It also contains information on subjects including P2, the Priory of Zion and Freemasonry's compatibility with religion. Paperback, 128 pages, 210 x 148mm
