Finding the right masonic gift to mark an initiation, a degree advancement or a farewell is not always simple: you need to respect the symbolism proper to the occasion while also knowing the recipient's rite and degree. Here are our masonic gift ideas for the key moments of the initiatory journey.

For an initiation

The first meeting marks the beginning of the initiatory journey. A masonic book retracing the history and symbolism of Freemasonry, a sober jewel featuring the square and compass, or a pair of white gloves — a symbol of purity — are traditional and well-appreciated gifts for this founding step.

For a degree advancement

Advancing to the degree of fellow craft or master is often accompanied by a new apron or a new jewel corresponding to the degree reached. Personalised regalia — degree, symbols, initials — allows this progress to be marked in a lasting way, faithful to the rite practised.

For taking on a lodge office

Taking on the office of an officer (Worshipful Master, wardens, orator, secretary, tyler…) is traditionally accompanied by a specific jewel or collar of office, which distinguishes the role held within the lodge.

For a masonic anniversary or a departure

A masonic book on the history of the rite practised, a symbolic decorative object for the desk or home, or a quality lodge accessory are well-appreciated gifts to mark a long membership or a moment of transition.

Choosing a masonic gift well

Three criteria to keep in mind: the rite practised by the person (REAA/AASR, French Rite, Rectified Scottish Rite, Emulation Rite…), their degree or office, and the quality of craftsmanship — a masonic gift should be as carefully made as the regalia one wears oneself in lodge.
