  • DESCRIPTION

    When starting a journey its very important to have a clear idea of the destination you seek.

    When building a superstructure first plans must be made to have a clear idea of the final form.

    How important then must it be for a Freemason when embarking on his path of self-perfection to have a clear vision of the total goal of his craft?

    When an operative mason became a master of his art, we have a fairly good idea of what that might have meant, but what of speculative masons? When we become Masters, what is it that we are masters of?  What skills do we acquire on our path to becoming? 

    If you were to read through the Masonic ritual and the lectures that accompany them with this as a focus, a very distinct picture starts to form of what a true Master Mason would embody. 

    This book imagines that Master Mason, crafted by the ritual he follows and visualizes him perfected and complete, a shining example to others: an embodiment of the true godliness of which our ritual speaks.

    This book consists of a series of contemplations based on the teachings of pure and ancient Masonry, which if undertaken with dedication will lead the practitioner to something very special. 

    The craftsman will be able to imagine himself as a true Master Mason, a perfected builder, and connect with this future self on all levels. 

    He will have a clear vision of the goal to act as a guide for him on his ongoing Masonic journey.

  • THE AUTHOR
    Jonti Marks

    Born in London and growing up partly in England and partly in East Africa, Jonti was initiated into Freemasonry in Lodge Harmony 3084 EC in Nairobi, Kenya, in August 1990. He later joined Lodge Scotia, 1008 SC, also in Nairobi, and it was through the Scottish Lodge that he was first introduced to the Holy Royal Arch, being exalted in Faith and Charity Chapter 329 SC in December 1991.

    After moving back to England in 1998, Jonti, who was a school teacher and headmaster for 27 years, joined the Old Bromsgrovian Lodge 5743 EC where he served as Master in 2013. Jonti was a founding member of the Old Bromsgrovian Chapter and he was the first member to pass through all three Chairs of that Chapter. He is currently Past Provincial Grand Sword Bearer in the Provincial Grand Lodge of Worcestershire and a Past Provincial Grand Steward in the Provincial Grand Chapter.

    Jonti has been interested in the deeper meanings of Freemasonry from the earliest days of his involvement with the Craft. He has always been keen to consider how the knowledge and wisdom contained in our rituals can be applied in a meaningful way to the life of every Brother or Companion who sits in Lodge and Chapter and who professes to subscribe to our particular and peculiar way of seeing the world.

    After 27 very happy years as a school teacher, Jonti decided to take early retirement and pursue a full-time writing career.  He is also an excellent and passionate speaker who has a great love and reverence for the institution of Freemasonry. He is known for his ability to both move and enlighten. He would be delighted to visit any Chapter or Lodge to speak on his understanding of the significance of Freemasonry and its practical place in all of our lives.
