    Study Notes

    Fellow-Craft Masonry

    • A Fellow-Craft Mason has attained the second degree of initiation and has seen the Blazing Star.
    • The Blazing Star is a symbol that expresses the mystery of man, with five points representing the five senses.

    Knowledge Acquired in the First Degree

    • Knowledge of God, the author of all.
    • Acquired through contemplating the wonders of Nature and with the aid of the intelligence that the Grand Architect of the Universe (GAOTU) has endowed on humans.

    Knowledge Acquired in the Second Degree

    • To know oneself and correct one's faults with the chisel of morality.
    • Acquired by studying the senses, liberal arts, and the faculties needed to exercise those senses.

    Senses and Faculties

    • The five senses are hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste.
    • These senses convey to the understanding mind that which they perceive, and these impressions in turn condition behavior.

    The Blazing Star

    • The Blazing Star has five points, representing the five senses.
    • It also expresses the Golden Proportion, divine harmony, and the symbolic value of the number Five.
    • The center of the Star features the letter G, which stands for Geometry, the distinguishing mark of human intelligence.

    Significance of the Letter G

    • Represents the Highest Intelligence and the Grand Geometrician of the Universe.
    • A subject of utmost deference for Fellow-Craft Freemasons.

    Importance of Studying the Arts

    • The arts are socially useful and can nourish virtues in a Mason if studied with that intent.
    • Geometry, which encompasses the art of architecture, has given Freemasonry many of its symbols.

    Reception as a Fellow-Craft

    • Led to the door of the Lodge, where three knocks were made.
    • Answered with questions on identity, purpose, and knowledge acquired in the First degree.

    Ceremony of Passing

    • Undertook five journeys.
    • During the journeys, learned to recognize what is within oneself, as well as that which is around and beyond oneself.

    The Five Journeys

    • First journey: learned to know oneself through the five senses, with a mallet and chisel to guide and correct oneself.
    • Second journey: learned about the five orders of architecture and the importance of proportions in building one's morality.
    • Third journey: learned about the seven liberal arts and their influence on human society.
    • Fourth journey: learned about the properties of the sphere and its relation to natural phenomena.
    • Fifth journey: empty-handed, with no new knowledge, but with the understanding to deduce consequences and instruct others.

    Recognition and Obligation

    • Fellow-Crafts recognize each other through signs, words, and tokens.
    • Obligate themselves never to reveal the mysteries of the Second degree after completing the journeys.
