This Masonic shadowbox chalk charcoal clay artwork titled ‘For the Crucible‘ is a deeply philosophical, esoteric, and even alchemical piece of art which will spark interest and hours of conversation. It is as much a piece of artwork as it is a Masonic teaching and learning tool. While many have received the explanation of these highly symbolic items, many have not explored the profound meanings of them.

Each of these three items are required to extract what is most valuable. Dig a little deeper than what your Freemason Lodge monitor may say and you’ll really appreciate this item as a conversation piece. And the best part is that non Masons will simply chalk it up as being a piece of art and not reminder from your first degree.

Description

Wide enough to sit on a flat surface or ready to hang for display.
Slight product variation are to be expected as each piece is hand crafted.
Please allow at 10 days for shipping as inventory is very limited.
Occasionally you may need to open the backing and blow out some particulates that may have become dislodged during transit.

Optional Presentation Lecture

This gift is an emblem of appreciation for you as a brother as well as a continual reminder of this moment and important moments in the years to come.

During the lecture this evening, you were presented with 3 elements and in the unique way chalk, charcoal, and clay represented how our ancient Brethren served their Masters; with freedom, fervency, and zeal. Your brethren would like to offer insight and one possible interpretation and explanation on these wonderful emblematic elements.

Look around the room for a moment. There are many Master Masons and Past Masters here that have come before you. Each will offer a bounty of instruction and wisdom throughout your Masonic journey – sometimes too much! That instruction will be proverbially written upon the Trestle board of your Masonic experience for you to learn and grow into the man you would like to become.

Additionally, from this night forward, you represent this fraternity in every dealing you have both inside and out of this Lodge room. In every one of those interactions, you will leave a trace of Masonry behind.

Receive instruction and represent us well.

As you begin your journey in further light in Masonry, we are hopeful your drive, determination, and excitement will continue to burn as bright as that charcoal when ignited. Your brethren want to fully see that insatiable desire for truth and knowledge burn bright!

And lastly, if you have not already discovered during your time here on Earth, things don’t always go your way. Both inside and out of the lodge, you will experience challenges, trials and tribulations. And you have to be as malleable as that clay. Conform yourself to each situation to learn, follow, and lead as necessary. And of course, may it always remind you that as from it we came, so to it we must return.

Congratulations again, my brother!

Honestly, this is my favorite piece for so many reasons. One cool thing is that you can hang it anywhere and a casual passer-by will just assume it’s a piece of shadowbox art. But to a Mason, it’s much much more!

During the year I served in the East, I bought a set of these for each of my officers. They were very well made and were well received by everyone.

Over the last couple of years since my purchase, I’ve been to the homes of several of the guys who received them, and every one of them has had them on display in a place of prominence.
