Day 33: First Degree Obligation
We’re now a third of the way through our 100 day Masonic study plan to get ready for being Installed as Master of you Masonic Lodge. Looking at what we’ve covered already, and what’s still left to cover, I bet

Onto Day 27 out of 100, and we really are right in the midst of our learning schedule, and we’ve still a long way to go. I bet you’re glad we started when we did, as if this was a

Day 24: Post First Degree Obligation
We’re now on day 24 of our 100 day plan to learn the ritual, and it’s 77 days to the ritual. Yes, I know that doesn’t add up to 100, that’s because the 100 days finishes the day before your
Day 23: First Degree Obligation – Again!
Wow, almost a quarter of the way through the 100 Days, sounds scary, but relax, there’s still 11 weeks until your Installation, and we’ve already got the Installation ceremony learnt and revised (don’t worry, we’ll be revisiting it again so
Day 22: First Degree Obligation
Hope you are keeping up with Learning the Ritual over this 100 Day Plan. I generally recommend spending somewhere between 15 to 30 minutes each day, I say this from experience of working my way through this plan, and so
