c. Memorize the basic meanings for all the Working Tools and compose, as lengthy as possible, a table of correspondences associated with the tools. Also the student will acquire all four basic tools and fully understand why the tools are located where they are on the altar.

d. Memorize the Consecration Ritual.

e. Have the student choose a handicraft in which to work and improve in, which can be saved for future reference e.g. carving, wood burning, stain glass, calligraphy, pottery, jewelry making, etc.
