The Chamber of Reflection: A revitalized and Misunderstood Masonic Practice

The Chamber of Reflection is an amazing preparatory tool for the degree of Freemasonry. Its history and existence date back to the very beginning, unfortunately most Masons have never heard of it. The only place you will ever see it in American Freemasonry as an accepted practiced rite is in the Templar Orders. However, traditionally it was seen as early as the Entered Apprentice degree. The main purpose of the Chamber is to help the candidate prepare himself for the solemn ceremonies he is about to undertake. Today, the Chamber of Reflection would serve as an even bigger tool to make sure said ceremony stays solemn. It would prevent members who chooses to haze or tease the candidate about riding a goat or other such clich?s that are said. This piece was originally published in the Transaction of Texas Lodge of Research, and later used in my book, The True Masonic Experience. However, I was encouraged to publish this as a single book for those lodges who wish to have this readily available for their members. I hope you enjoy learning about one of the most misunderstood Masonic practices of our history.
