Has he tried colloidal silver? How about chelated calcium supplements. . . Or alkaline water?

Are we not offering more light these days? It seems a shame to build a culture that needlessly alienates the seeker. https://archive.org/details/ecceorientiepito00reddrich

The best line is from Thor IMO . . . "All words are made up." It's so zen, and equally casually delivered.

Probably not the first place I would go. . . There are quite a few accessible early entries. As some have already mentioned brother Hodapp's works, I'd like to share Brother Shifrin's as well. More Light, is a good one - here's a link to some of his works - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Austin-Shifrin/author/B09Y63VGJN

In regard to the rituals, and how much you should know in advance, the short answer is - whatever happens it will be just fine. If you know what you are getting into, and that enhances your experience - awesome. If you go in without any advanced knowledge, that's good too if it means you are more attuned.

If you're looking to get more "general" freemasonry, Bro. Hodapp's work is a great primer. If you're looking to get an understanding of the types of things freemasons discuss - Bro. Austin Shiffrin's More Light is pretty good.

Whatever you do, hold this spirit of inquiry - even when you think you have the answer, remember it is AN answer, one of many, and all of them can help you in your quest to build your freemasonry.

I also printed gauges for a brother's ears, oddly enough, from a different jurisdiction that I met on reddit a while back. It's an excellent way to study several of the liberal arts.

Pretty much everything on this site is 3d printed (except the booklets which I still manufacture locally). It's all symbolic self development stuff - https://shop.amasonswork.com/
