Masonic ritual

1st degree

  • Various notes:
    • Ritual for the Entered Apprentice or the First Degree of Freemasonry:
    • Oath of the Entered Apprentice: "All this I most solemnly, sincerely promise and swear, with a firm and steadfast resolution to perform the same, without any mental reservation or secret evasion of mind whatever, binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea, at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours, should I ever knowingly violate this my Entered Apprentice obligation. So help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same." [25]

Keystone

  • Various notes:
    • The Keystone is the locking stone of the Arch. Therefore, the "copestone," being located at the top, is the cap of the entire arch. Consequently, the Royal Arch of Freemasonry, is symbolically regarded as "The Copestone of Ancient Craft Masonry;" otherwise referred to as the "Capitular Rite."
