There are few if any opportunities to view one of the extant Ripley Scrolls. There are four total outside of private hands with known copies limited to just 23 in four flavors. Having come across a high definition photo of one of the scrolls, an idea of having a scroll of our own to ponder over at the Library table…

Many of you know that Rudyard Kipling, the famous author, was a Mason. He has Masonic overtones in more than a few works but this one, ‘The Palace’, is outright in your face Masonic as the day is long.

In this workshop we will be trying our hand at making an illuminated letter (Gold Leaf), on some worthy watercolor paper . Approx 5×7 inches – 8×10 framed.

Several beautiful images from the Ripley scroll are used to illustrate the paper. On the drawing board as it were, is a full size reproduction of the scroll….

It would seem that Most Worshipful and I had taken the easy way out of not having to explain by degree the Libarary’s symbolism, hidden and not. We agreed that it’s not enough to merely lead a horse to Water and…

We will be assembling a mobile in the form of the stations of the lodge. This might help those that need to do some ritual rehearsal. I’m in the process of making one now and should have a good idea of what it’s going to take to get this mobile together. Date and costs to be announced… Limited seating.
