I did not fully comprehend what he was telling me before, but now I am beginning to understand their meaning. He explained that the skull indicates we are mortal and only one fate surely attends to us all. The hourglass reminds us that our existence is fleeting, and we must make the best of what time we have. The containers of salt and sulfur represent philosophical pursuits and growth. The bread and water a reminder of tyranny and simplicity (AMC 2021).
The Chamber of Reflection is one of Freemasonry’s most alluring, provoking, and truly esoteric of symbols. From simple to more complex variations on the theme, the Chamber of Reflection forces each candidate to recognize that they are mortal, and from this moment forward, a new life awaits them, if they so choose it (M. Stavish 2002). The Chamber of Reflection is a Grand Lodge of Arizona authorized option to use to help a candidate focus on the profound ceremony he is about to undergo. The goal is to stress to the candidate that he is entering into a solemn, serious, and life-changing event (AMC 2021).

If your lodge does not have a Chamber of Reflection and is looking to spark new life in your membership retention you might try this life changing approach. Follow the Constitution and Statutes of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona, Section 2503, for the proper procedure. We should bring back those things that once were found in our lodges, and which helped create a unique, contemplative atmosphere for both the candidate and the Lodge. Among these are the use of music, the manipulation of light and darkness, the Chamber of Reflection… Consider that the candidate preparation room is not and was never meant to be a mere dressing room. (B. Hammer). There is a lot of information about Chambers of Reflection on the internet and in books. Find what the initials V.I.T.R.I.O.L. mean to help understand more about the chamber’s intentions. Enjoy the read!

“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention”.....˜Oscar Wilde Charity is something we should be doing all year long although some seem to open their hearts more so around these times. It does not always require a financial obligation. Simply giving your time to a person or organization could be a wonderful act of giving. Homeless shelters are always looking for people to help serve meals for the holidays and it’s a good way to give without spending a dime. I recall being part of an organization that packed food boxes and delivered them to less fortunate families. It took a few hours of my time but gave me a good feeling of extending help to those in need. As the holiday season approaches, I am hoping that the brethren of Arizona and their families are well, staying safe, and free from illness. We have seen some struggles in the recent past with the passing of some pillars in our fraternity, but the best way to honor those brothers is by continuing to do the great work in our fraternity
If you want to give in a financial way there are many options such as, purchasing blankets or clothing and handing them out to those in need. Donating to your favorite local charity, purchase a meal for a first responder, or pay for the persons coffee behind you in the drive thru are also simple acts of kindness to brighten someone’s day.
The season of giving has arrived and it’s a good time to remember the greatest of the three prin- In closing I will leave you with this quote, cipal rounds, charity. We are informed that faith “The smallest act of kindness is worth more than may be lost in sight, hope ends in fruition, but the grandest intention”…. ~Oscar Wilde charity extends beyond the grave, through the boundless realms of eternity. The charity we give Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! to others will continue to make an impression Fraternally, long after we are gone.

said in his book Pillars of wisdom:
“The responsibility of the fraternity is to provide the environment and the material. Then each of us is a workman who will make of that which is given him as he chooses…”. Those who become experts at performing our ritual in Arizona have the chance to become “Master Ritualists”. Learning all the ritual and being able to perform it by memory could take years. You must be able to Open, Close & confer on all 3 degrees, perform every chair in every degree, deliver all 3 lectures, perform several various parts in the second section of the third degree, give all 3 charges, and give the Apron Lecture and the G Lecture. No small task. As of today, there are 19 Brothers in Arizona who have completed this monumental task. But why would anyone want to subject themselves to all this work?
Worshipful Brother Ron Allen, Past Grand Lecturer, says he isn’t the first one to say this “In our organization, our ritual defines us in two ways. One, we’re able to tell people this is what we believe; no one else can tell people what we are, why we’re here and why we do what we do. Secondly, a lot of us Masons – they live that ritual. 90% are paying attention to that ritual and behave that way the rest of their lives.” Worshipful Brother Carl Melton, current Grand Orator, would agree. When asked which ritual piece was the hardest to learn, he responded “probably 2nd degree lecture…as I had been taught, if I didn’t know what a word meant that I had to study it. So, I not only had to learn that piece of ritual, but I also had to learn what many of those words meant”. When you commit yourself to learning the ritual, it means more than just memorizing the words. It means living, breathing, and learning the ritual.

But where does our ritual come from? In Arizona, it was passed down and shaped by those Grand Lodges that helped charter the forming of our own Grand Lodge – both California and New Mexico. It has been shaped over the years by the many men who have come into our craft from other Jurisdictions and brought bits and pieces with them.
Thus, our Arizona Ritual is uniquely our own. But even beyond that recent 300+ year history of grand Lodge Masonry in the world, there stretches back traditions that have been infused into our ritual. It is generally accepted, even if not documented, that Freemasonry stretches back far beyond its own written history. Indeed, much of our Hailed as the world’s oldest Masonic Ritu- ritual has roots in other esoteric traditions. The al, the Edinburgh Register House man- sun has a significant meaning in our ritual and is used as a symbol relative to its movement – uscript of 1696 starts with a catechism for knowledge that stretches back to the earliest unproving a person who has the word is real- derstandings of man. Worshipful Brother Jaime Lamb, Current Master of Ascension Lodge No. 89, ly a mason. calls this out in his book Approaching the Middle Chamber: “The founding (or, for some, the resurrection) of But all this ritual coming into American Freemasonry, came originally from England.

tend to remember it more. It’s called the “Production Effect” (MacLeod, Psychology Today 2010). Hence, performing our ritual helps make it a part of who we are. The process of our brain forming the word into speech helps code it into long term memory. Performing ritual is more than just reading words. In reciting ritual, it’s almost like a meditation. It can help us stay in the here and now. Chanting by Monks is considered a spiritual practice. It helps them enter a calm or meditative state. It prepares the mind for meditation. So what spiritual or emotional effects does our ritual have; when we perform it, when we see it, when we hear it? Is it Sacred? In the 1990’s a group of Tibetan Monks were touring the US, performing ancient songs and dances. It was referred to as “philosophy set to music….describing the nature of the relationship between ultimate and conventional reality….imparting a sense of spiritual elevation”. (Considine, Baltimore Sun May 5, 1994). Words have meaning, they have power. “Freemasonry’s lessons are designed to be simultaneously perceived by the mind….body…and soul….” (Lamb, Approaching the Middle Chamber, 2020) Beyond the auditory benefits of reciting the ritual, when we research what the words and symbols mean, that is when we get into the meat of what our fraternity is all about. WBro. Jaimie Lamb said in his book Approaching the Middle Chamber: “The lion’s share of the lessons inculcated in the speculative craft are conveyed by ritualism, allegory and symbol in conjunction with lectures providing further elucidation..”.
Nearly every Master Ritualist I spoke with agreed saying that once they really started learning the ritual, understanding it became even more important. Worshipful brother Tim Lindquist would say “Being a Master Ritualist should be more than just having it memorized, it should be an understanding of the ritual. Having thought about what it means and even allegoric messages in the ritual, and lots of them, they’re individual. It’s more than just being able to regurgitate.” “Freemasonry’s lessons are designed to be simultaneously perceived by the mind...body...and soul” ….Jaime Lamb, Approaching the Middle Chamber
Our Ritual is what defines us because of our Craft. Our Masonic goals are to improve ourselves in Masonry, to become better men, to support those within and without the fraternity. Best summed up, once again, by WM Rex Hutchens in his 1995 book “Pillars of Wisdom”: “Man is an intellectual and moral being. The elevation of knowledge and conduct is an imperative in all men. A duty of the craft is to nurture and encourage man’s natural faculties – that he might know more and then use that knowledge to make a better world.” Fraternally yours, Bo Buchanan Grand Editor 2021-2022

A haunted journey in Freemasonry Good Tidings Brothers and welcome to the second chapter of our Traveling Mason’s tales. This story has us visiting Colorado, and a local cemetery. During this interview, we heard about ghost stories, ladies in black, gold, and how Masonry began in Central City, Colorado. Central City was founded in 1859 and quickly became recognized as “the richest square mile on The Red room at the Scottish Rite Temple in Tucson, AZ earth”. With the gold rush and the booming the population of Central City, it’s Masonic residents established a cemetery in the early 1860’s. through supernatural means. Having enjoyed a fascination with ghost hunting and paranormal activity for some time, Bro. Jeff signed up for a ghost tour of Tucson that just happened to be visiting the Red Room at the Tucson Scottish Rite Temple. After visiting the Red Room, which is noted by some to be a haunted venue, Jeff’s interest was peaked further and he began the process of attending Aaron Lodge #49 and after 6 months of rapport building and service to the Lodge, received the Degrees While supernatural and ghost tours were a significant aspect of his life prior to Masonry, with his journey beginning as a result of a ghost tour, the Central City, Colorado. 1862.

When asked what was the most significant impact of visiting the cemetery, Bro. Jeff expressed the importance of learning history, “I believe it’s
important for every Mason to know where their Lodge came from” and to understand the history of their state as well, “making me aware of the people that go there” and why they decide to visit, “for me, I would feel comfortable going there at midnight as I’m around Brothers” and no fear is present when surrounded by your Brothers. Bro. Jeff discussed his sincere interest and hope to help others move past a misperception of the Craft and our history.

That’s why this cemetery is so important to him, it emerged from the mining boom and as Masons emigrated to the area, they joined together to create a permanent Masonic presence and establish a Lodge.
