The Solemn Presentation of the Lodge Ring
Version 1
The Brother steps in front of the altar with arms crossed over his breast.
Master of the Chair speaks:
In the name of the great demiurge Saturn
as representative of our venerable brotherhood
I solemnly present to you, dear brother,
the ring of Saturn.
It is the symbol of your membership
in our brotherhood.
It is the symbol of loyalty.
It is the symbol of a magical bond
with the “Fraternitas Saturni”.
May this ring protect you on all of your life journeys
and lead you to deep spiritualization.
In the spirit of the great Demiurge Saturn.
During these solemn words the Master puts the ring on the brother’s right hand finger.
And then speaks: Raise your hand to swear loyalty to the lodge.
Solemn silence.
AUM.
