Memorization – One method


I found this Blog about 10-11 years ago. It was written by Mark Shead in 2007 and has proven to be truly invaluable ever since. In Freemasonry there’s a ton of memorization that needs to be done, especially if you get tagged as a ‘ritualist’ (if that’s even a word).

Short version – stick the text you want to memorize verbatim in the tool and it will convert it to just the first letter of every word. The concept is that it forces your mind to remember the actual word instead of just glossing over it.
