Reception of a Fellow Craft

Little Scotsman

The Lodge is hung with Red.
The recipient has neither hat nor shoes.
The obligation is the same as that of an apprentice.
The instruction is the same.
The recipient makes 27 turns to travel.
He is made to advance to take his obligation by
3 steps of an ordinary Blue Fellow Craft, which he must
also perform in reverse.

The sign is to carry the right hand to the left shoulder
and lower it to the right hip while cutting across
the body. The hand must be open with the fingers extended
and pressed together.

The touch is to place the open right hand, fingers
pressed and extended with the thumb raised, forming a square on the
navel; one then takes the right hand in three motions
up to the front of the chest.

The word is Mahabon.
The second word is Jehova.
The third word is Schibbolet.

The age is 27 years.

The recipient is laid on his stomach, face down on
the Letter G, represented on the Tableau tracing board... all the brothers
throw their Domino hooded cloak over the recipient and appear
decorated with their Red Sash and Apron.

Q. The recipient is asked if he knows the Letter G.
A. Yes.

---

Q. What does it signify?
A. Glory... Grandeur... Geometry.
Q. Do you not know it otherwise?
A. No.

While the recipient is lying on his stomach covered by the
Domino cloaks of the brothers, the red tapestry is removed and
substituted with a blue one.
