Wisdom, Beauty, Strength, Sign, Grip and Word
One might think that what we are dealing with here is a feature of what is generally called “Freemasonry”, but this is not the case. However secret Freemasonry may have been in the past, it has always been something external. In fact, Freemasonry originally came into the world through a betrayal of the mystery schools, and that is why many of the symbols found in Freemasonry can also be found here. From the mystery schools, these symbols passed through students not sufficiently imbued with their value and meaning, ended up in secret societies, although they were secret to the outside world. However, none of the secret societies known under the general name of Freemasonry have been able to grasp and explain the true depth of the symbols, because the sacredness of the symbols themselves means that they cannot be properly understood outside the occult temple.
