The Masonic image below utilizes a compass, a Masonic symbol, an emblem of virtue representing restraint and self-control, to illustrate a lesson in conduct. The ideal woman of that time was supposed to stay within the bounds circumscribed by the compass and “Enter not into the way of the wicked and go not in the path of evil men.” At the corners of the print are behaviors of “fallen” women.
In the upper left a mother is not caring for her child properly; the infant appears to be slipping from her lap. In the top right a woman is shown working in a tavern. In the lower left a woman is standing in a street selling things to make money. In the lower right we see a prostitute soliciting some men. All of these activities are, it is suggested, inappropriate and demeaning for a woman.
The reward for behaving “properly” is written around the circle: “Keep within compass and you shall be sure to avoid many troubles that others endure.” In addition to proscribing certain behaviors on the part of women the illustration describes the appropriate relationship between husband and wife: in a marriage the woman should tend to the family and depend on the man to work and provide for them; her role is to be the “Virtuous Woman” and “a Crown to her Husband.”

“The good hand of our God upon us.”
In our modern American culture of Holly-wood entertainment and lost angles media, the so-called stars and entertainers of our Masonic man-made world are at the center of attention for many of the globe’s citizens. It is through these high paid people who are actors playing a part via a script on the grand stage of life that many people today who sit and watch the show from their couches or standing peering at the latest i-Phone “tune into their energies.” Quite simply, many of these same said people have given up on living their own lives and now artificially live through the actors they see on a screen.
There is nothing new under the entertainment sun.
In the not so distant past, many of these overpaid actors would have been low paid court gestures and poets working for beer and food in the Kings Court who were tasked with entertaining the King’s subjects. Their job was to take the stress, kingdoms troubles and future plans of the royal court off the minds of the people who were akin to pawns on a chessboard much like they are today. As time rolled on, these methods and techniques of the ruling elite became more and more refined to the point of what we see today in the technological entertainment and media world. (more…)

“Darkness and Light are both of one nature, different only in seeming, for each arose from the source of all. Darkness 
is disorder, Light is order; Darkness transmuted is Light of Light. This my children, your purpose in being, transmutation of Darkness into Light.” – Hermes Trismegistus

It has been said that the Cretan/Phoenician mathematicain and father of philosophy, Pythagoras was one of the most 
famous wise men, sages and in the secret mysteries of various secret societies such as Freemasonry, he is venerated as one of the most important adepts who has ever lived.
What many people do not know is that Pythagoras had a a strict code of conduct when it came to the edible seed known as been. It was said that he would not eat or be near beans, and his initiates known as the Pythagoreans were also prohibited from eating beans. This rule and some could say a law that the tiny vegetable was never to be eaten and avoided at all costs were passed down to us by second hand accounts from his followers and authors.
But why would the Pythagoras not eat beans? (more…)
