How Does Entered Apprentice Degree - Masonic Lights Work?

The Entered Apprentice Degree uses Masonic Lights to help new members learn about light, truth, and guidance in a fun and simple way.

Imagine you're playing with flashlights at night, that’s kind of what the Masonic Lights are like. In this degree, there are three special lights: one red, one white, and one blue. Each color has its own meaning, just like how different colors on your favorite toys can mean different things.

What Do the Lights Mean?

  • The red light stands for the sun, it's warm and gives us energy, just like when you're playing outside on a sunny day.
  • The white light is like the moon, it shines gently at night, helping you see your way home after a fun adventure.
  • The blue light reminds us of the sky, wide and open, making us feel calm and free.

These lights are not just pretty to look at; they teach new members about different kinds of light, which is like learning how to use flashlights in different ways. It’s a simple but special way to explore ideas that can help you grow and learn more as you go through your Masonic journey.
