Masonic Ritual and Monitor
by Malcolm C. Duncan

This book presents details of Masonic initiation rituals, along with grips, passwords and regalia. Written in the 19th century, Duncans Ritual, as it is known, has been republished numerous times. It includes the three basic degrees of the Ancient York Rite, and four additional advanced degrees.

There are over a hundred illustrations, all reproduced here, which show important details of the rituals, including gestures and symbolic pictures. Duncans Ritual is careful to note known variations where they exist.

This book will be of interest to beginning Masons who want a roadmap of the craft, as well as experienced Masons who need a review.

Preface:
"The objects which Freemasonry was founded to subserve are honorable and laudable; nor is it intended in the following pages to disparage the institution or to undervalue its usefulness. It has, at various times and in several countries, incurred the ill-will of political parties and of religious bodies, in consequence of a belief, on their part, that the organization was not so purely benevolent and philanthropic as its members proclaimed it to be. In the State of New York, many years ago, it was supposed, but we think unjustly, to wield a powerful political influence, and to employ it unscrupulously for sinister ends. The war between Masonry and Anti-Masonry which convulsed the State at that period is still fresh in the remembrance of many a party veteran. The Order, however, has long since recovered from the obloquy then heaped upon it, and is now in a flourishing condition in most parts of the civilized world...."

Pros and cons of Masonic Ritual and Monitor app for iPhone and iPad

Masonic Ritual and Monitor app good for

I love this book, for me too just comming in and really not getting light until later on, it gives me knowledge of my craft before I ascend too the next degree, but at the same time on real masons should be able too obtain this material.
Duncans Ritual has been around for a very long time and I scarcely ever see an Anti-Mason referencing it as I do see the Anti-Masons referencing Albert Pikes "Morals & Dogma". This is a very useful text for reference work and for the Brother who has been inactive and wants to refresh his memory. It does not reveal secrets since the real secrets are in the meanings. The book does not reveal the hidden meanings of anything in Masonry.

Some bad moments

It is wrong to use or print this not only is your book off it is. Not accurate in its writings which is a good thing!!!
Not very useful. I do feel like this should not be written per our obligation.
This author obviously does not respect the craft or this would not exist for public view. Guess the OB means nothing to some. Well if you want to be a fake Mason (I dont recommend it) this could be a good start. Disappointing! AML#195 PHA
I remember my obligation!!! So many want into the craft for the wrong reasons! Dont believe the junk here! Dont use this in front of a real Mason! A real Mason from Maryland
Much like the others have said, obviously this joker has not taken his obligation to heart or he has a friend/family member that didnt take it seriously and also has a big mouth. I believe Apple should add a feature that allows voters to remove some items that they feel objectionable.
Take the obligation? Apparently it meant nothing to you if you even dare publish this app!
