Guest_4410 : Wow--I've been a mason for a long time, and never knew all that illiuminati crap
Guest_4590 : freemasonry is a secret occult that ultimately leads to the illuminati. the grandmaster of lodges are illuminatists who are all of special bloodline or descent of luciferans. the luciferans are evolved beings from another universe the freemasons ultimatly worship and sacrifice to these beings. the symbolism of freemasonary is present in almost all media, politics, infastracture, music, and film. fuck freemasony fuck the devil i hope you all suffer false light guiders

Egakadolas : Love you all from Solomon Islands
Egakadolas : A day ago a friend came to me Iam from Solomon Islands and am a just a sixth generation of headhunters. We travel in our war canoes to chop of peoples head in our war raids much like the Barbarians of Europe. But when the Gospel in the word of God came we turned our lives and this brother I was referring to confess that the skulls of our dead ancestors does not provide protection. Protection and blessing comes from God. Today you can still see the sacrificial alters much like the the Incas of So
Egakadolas : The Truth is Kings Merchants Queens and the powerful the comoners and the wise and the opposite of the foregoing are temporal but God the almighty however he is defined in whatever religion in the world is from everlasting to everlasting so we all of his children should treat each other with respect.
Salodakage : The world is an interesting place. Le there be light!

Full disclosure: This is a project that my father, the current Worshipful Master of St. John’s Lodge, #1, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has been working on for a couple years. He has taken hundreds of neat, old Masonic images from sources such as antique Masonic books and digitally re-mastered them so that they can be used without the jagged “clip-art” look of so much stuff out there. He then puts the re-mastered images on a wide variety of products, including (my personal favorite) t-shirts. I think the results are terrific — a great combination of old-timey designs and clean, contemporary graphics. Check out his hundred of re-mastered and original designs, including Square and Compasses t-shirts for many Masonic jurisdictions here.
Masonic Memorial Temple Window Mural, San Fransisco
Well known artist Emile Norman has died at the age of ninety-five. While not, to my knowledge, a Freemason himself, he did create the famous four story window mural for the Masonic Memorial Temple in San Francisco back in the fifties.
The method for creating the window is fascinating. The process, invented by Norman himself, is called “endo-mosaic” and involves suspending pieces of colored glass and other material between sheets of plastic to create a stained-glass type window.
Masonic Wall Sculpture
He also created the terrific raised relief sculpture that adorns an outer wall of the temple building.
This is cool. Australian artist Danie Mellor has combined the symbols of an 1800’s engraving depicting a Masonic Lodge with aboriginal imagery to create this unique and award winning piece of art.
Although not a Freemason himself, he says of the piece
“The work looks at the structure of the institution and the special and secret hidden nature of different cultures – in this case, Indigenous culture in Australia and the Freemasonry movement in Europe.
“There are similarities in that there are initiation ceremonies in both cultures; and those ceremonies are secret in both cultures.
“Rite Ritual is a portrayal of people, and the different ways and feelings of old cultural differences.”
The AU $40,000.00 first prize he received for this winning entry in the 26th Annual Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award wasn’t too shabby either. Read the story here.
The legend of a long-hidden Masonic treasure has caused much speculation over years, and even inspired a big budget Hollywood movie. But there was at least one real-life Masonic treasure, the story of which is just as interesting and tragic as anything movie writers could dream up: The large collection of Masonic items the Nazis looted from Masonic lodges during World War II.
Contrary to what some conspiracy theorists say, the Nazis were in no way affiliated with Freemasonry. In fact, they actively oppressed German Freemasons by arresting Masonic officers and looting valuable Masonic regalia, jewels and historic records from the lodge halls.
Fearing for their safety, German Freemasons suspended the work of the Craft. In a subtle act of solidarity, they often planted or wore forget-me-not flowers as a reminder to their Brethren that the Craft was still alive and awaiting a time when it could again flourish. As a result, forget-me-nots are a universally recognized symbol of Freemasonry.
forget-me-nots
World War II eventually ended, of course, and Freemasons were again able to practice the Craft in Germany. But for years, the stolen Masonic valuables were missing. That is, until researchers discovered the treasure in Russia where it had languished in archives for more than 60 years. To read more about how the treasure was stolen, discovered and returned to its rightful owners, check out this article.
Modern Freemasonry emerged in part from the Medieval stone guilds that built the great cathedrals of Europe, so it’s no surprise that there are many spectacular masonic buildings worldwide. Historically, however, masonic buildings have been closed to the public due to the private nature of the Fraternity. But thanks to the internet, anyone may now peek inside some of these magnificent edifices via online tours. Here are some eye-popping ones:
