The book Cora is describing sounds like the Toye kenning ans spencer book. There are a lot of lodge older and newer than the one you mentioned and there ritual is totally different. It does in general cover the same message but all the books you have metioned i have seen worked in lodges. I have also seen those rituals worked but with variations as well. So what do we class as standard practice. on second thoughts that should be in another thread. so don't answer that. Post #18032 sojournersojourner Posted 02/02/2010 15:54 Fellow Group: Forum Members Last Login: Today @ 10:26 Posts: 259, Visits: 925 In UGLE Masonry, there are a number of rituals in use, including Taylor's, West End working, Universal, Bristol Workings, to name but a few. It depends on what you mean by Standard. I believe the most commonly used Ritual is Emulation. They did not "authorise" a version of their Ritual until 1969, although there were a number of publications purporting to give "Emulation" Working, ie The Perfect ceremonies of Craft Masonry.So is a "Standard" ritual the one most commonly used, the one prevalent in an area (ie one used throughout a Province such as "Northumbrian Workings", or one "preferred" by a Grand Lodge?I find the variations throughout Scottish Lodges, an absolute delight, and have taken the trouble to collect as many samples as I can. I have one version that some kind soul emailed me as a Word Document which is the most outstandingly beautiful I have seen. Sadly I can't remember who sent it to me or which Lodges use it, nor identify it down to a "named ritual".So " Standard" may be preferred by some, but to me it would be a retrograde step to have a Standard Ritual, that reduced it to being a competition as to who was more word perfect of 'sameness'.
