Learn
The reasoning, and the practice.
Learning the Craft means two things at once. The why: the principles and values the Craft asks a man to take up. The what: the actual practices, instruments, and references a lodge runs on, day in and day out.
The drills here draw from the full body of openly published Masonic material. The monitorial work that frames a meeting and a degree. The Constitutions and bylaws that govern a lodge. The Officers Handbook that shapes the line's year. The history of where the Craft came from and how it reached New Mexico. The charities that ground the Craft in service. Plus published method: Ragain's Keys to Masonic Memorization, for how to commit any of it to memory.
