“Masonic symbolism is based on sacred architecture. Based on the model temple – the ideal of the Temple of Solomon, it expresses itself through that art – considered royal in its purest sense and traditional – that we call the art of construction” Jean-Jacques Gabut tells us. Masonic symbolism is also reflected in its tools which are regarded as its servants, along with the myths and rites the initiate uses to bring life to stone and create symbols glorifying the Divine.
In this first part, the author takes us through Freemason’s physical signs: a wordless language universally accessible and understood. He distinguishes between the ‘gesture -sign’, the ‘seal-sign’ and the ‘symbol-sign’ - this last much like the others as a way of recognising Masonic elements, but also containing other meanings.
