Degree Freemason

The job above is really a modern representation from the First Degree Tracing Boards of old. It is stuffed with metaphor and meaning, fluent to any or all Apprentice Masons.

The Very First Degree Tracing boards were produced as visual helps produced as one example of the meanings and principals of Freemasonry as trained inside the levels. The meaning is extremely Western, however the meaning continues to be modified for that modern mason.

Within the image you will find many symbolic cues. In adapting this piece, the most important change may be the changing from the Scriptures using the major religious symbols around the globe. These indicating belief, for me, represent the current Freemason.

For any more esoteric consider the meaning from the first degree, I suggest reading through Ain Soph to Malkuth – The Very First Amount of Scottish Rite Freemasonry.

To understand more about The Joined Apprentice Degree, read Pike’s Apprentice degree, from Morals and Dogma, or even the Joined Apprentice degree from Duncan’s Ritual and Monitor.
