The Master Mason

In this picture is concealed the allegory of the Lost Word. The Master Mason, having completed his labors becomes a worker on a higher plane than the one in which the ordinary builder is permitted to work. The Master Mason becomes the capstone of the Universal Temple.

“As Aradmus stood there, a voice that seemed to issue from the very heavens chanted a strange song, and a hand, reaching out as it were from the globe of the day itself, placed a serpent wrought of gold upon the bow of the new initiate.

[it said] Behold Khephera, the rising sun! For as he brings the mighty globe of day out of the darkness of night, between his claws, so for thee the Sun of Spirit has risen out of the darkness of night and in the name of the living God, we hail thee, Priest of Ra.”
