PREFACE

A number of years ago I came across an illustrated Freemasonry book, called Freemasonry by

W.Kirk MacNulty, in my local library and glancing through it, out of idle curiosity, I was surprised to

find I was able to pick out Goddess symbolism within the Mason images. Which was a surprise; because

Freemasonry is suppose to be a male dominated secret society. So why would an organisation that has

steadfastly refused to allow female members within its ranks for hundreds of years, use Goddess

symbolism? It didn't make sense.

I am myself am not a Freemason so any knowledge and understanding from this book, only comes

only from my interpretation of Mason symbols. Though I have had a deep interest in Goddess religions

for nearly 30 years, so I am looking at Freemasonry from this point of view. Yet if my interpretations of

the symbols are correct, they tell a very different story about Freemasonry, than what the general public is

led to believe. Goddess worship is not usually connect with Freemasonry, yet they even had the audacity

to erect a giant statue of a Sun Goddess in New York harbour, which they called the Statue of Liberty.

Since then I have discovered I am not alone in realising there is a hidden Goddess within

Freemasonry. I have since gone on the Internet and by simply typing - Goddess, Freemasonry - in a

search engine I have found web sites saying very much the same thing. Many it seems from ex-

Freemasons. Though I have to say, these people seem to have a different perspective than what I have.

Mostly they seem to be fundamentalist Christians who believe strongly that the Bible is the word of God.

Then they become Freemasons and were shocked to discover that its roots are Pagan. Some of these men

have gone as far as accusing Freemasons of being Satanist.

Now personally I am not a Christian myself. I very much believe in the teachings of Jesus but

disagree with many of the teachings in the Old Testament and in the later teachings of his apostles. I have

studied, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Paganism, Sufi, New Thought, New Age and mysticism and

learnt from all these different spiritual teachings. I believe the difference between religions is cultural.

So no one religion or sect has a greater truth than another, because different spiritual teachings fit the

mindset of different cultures and people.

My main interest is the ancient worldwide religion of the Great Mother, which I believe has been

preserved in the Tao-Te-Ching, the Hindu sect Tantra, the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament and

now it seems in Freemasonry. So this is the viewpoint I have, when I look at Freemasonry symbols. I

don't have any interest whether the Freemasons are non-Christian or even Devil worshippers. I am

dubious about the conspiracy theories that Freemasons secretly rule the world. Though I don't reject this

all together, as a surprisingly large number of political, industrial, banking and religious leaders seem to

be Freemasons.

I have no doubt that the Freemasons do work behind the scenes influence world events, but I

doubt if Freemasons are completely united in their aims and I don't believe its leaders are the evil

supermen as portrayed by conspiracy theorists. You only have to look at the state of the world is in to

realise that the world is ruled by very mediocre people with limited intelligence and imagination. I

suppose many people prefer the idea they we are ruled by evil supermen than the thought that we could be

ruled by people who are out of their depth and don't really know what they are doing. Yet I also have to

admit that the world today is far better ruled, than back in the Middle Ages, so I do see signs of progress.

The main focus of this book is to show how Freemasonry uses the symbolism of a very ancient

Goddess religion that goes back to the Neolithic age. So its roots may be very ancient. Though whether

Freemasonry in a Goddess religion in reality, or they have inherited ancient symbols they no longer

understand, I don't know. The truth is probably a mixture of both, as I will explain later.

I was once accused by a Freemason of being too simplistic in my interpretation of Mason

symbols. This Mason symbolic drawing called, See Light, answers this criticism as it's meaning is

K.I.S.S (Keep it simple stupid). We see two seekers searching for the Sun Goddess, one path is full of

symbolism and complex ideas, while the other path is clear and leads straight to the Sun Goddess. The

highly educated Mason with all this complicated ideas is on a path that leads no-where. While the other

seeker is has his eyes fixed firmly on the Sun Goddess and looks no-where-else and his path leads straight

to Her.

Chapter One

THE COMPASS AND THE SQUARE

The drawing above is called Faith, Hope and Charity. As in other Mason drawings Faith, Hope

and Charity are represented by angels or Goddesses. In this drawing we only see two Goddesses or

angels so where is the third? The secret meaning within this drawing is that the third Goddess is

Compass and Square imagine in the middle of the drawing. So why is does this image represent a

Goddess?

The Compass and Square image is probably the most popular symbol in Freemasonry. The

fundamentalist Pastor Ron Carlson, who has spoken about Freemasonry in evangelical churches in many

parts of America, claims that the square represents the earth, the compasses represent the sky, and the

square and compasses when united, represent the sky impregnating the earth with its showers. He goes

on to state that this is a symbol of sexual intercourse. The official Freemason line is they are just tools of

the Masonry Trade.

Within the space made by the square and compass sometimes a letter is put there. Mostly it is a G

though sometimes it is an M or F. So what do these letters mean? Masons claim that G is the secret

name of God. Which is a mystery in itself because clearly G would stand for God, so it is not a mystery

at all. To make it a mystery suggests it must be another name. Masons themselves claimed that G stands

for geometry. This is because Freemasons refer to God as the Great Architect and you need geometry to

create a complex building like a Church.

It has been claimed that the Presbyterian minister, James Anderson, introduced the word "Great

Architect" into Freemasonry in 1723 and that he got it from the works of John Calvin, one of the founders

of Presbyterianism. Also the idea of geometry comes from the physics of Isaac Newton who showed that

the movement of planets was caused by scientific laws and not by the hand of God as previously thought.

Newton used geometry to calculate the movement of planets so if we replace geometry with God we

would then assume that Freemasonry is an atheistic organisation. As atheists claim that God didn't exist,

used the physics of Isaac Newton along with the later Darwin's theory of evolution to prove that the world

was created by blind chance. Though the irony of this is that Isaac Newton was a very religious man and

would completely reject this claim.

Freemasonry is certainly not an atheist society and they even banned people from joining it who

are atheists. In my opinion both the Great Architect and Geometry are really very poor names for the

Creator. After all there is a vast difference in planning a building and creating life. They are names that

wouldn't satisfy a person who has the imagination to wonder at the diversity and complexity of life and

the universe. A better explanation comes from Gerald Gardner who was not only a Freemason but also

the originator of modern Witchcraft. At the end of a article about Witchcraft he was to write. -

The Myth of Witchcraft seems to be the story of the goddess here quoted. I am forbidden to give

her name, so I will call her G.

If that is true, then it gives us a clue to the meaning of the Compass and Square image. A

Diamond shape frames the letter G. This shape must be important because Masons use the same shape

using other tools. As we can see on the previous page, where knives and forks are used to make the same

shape, which is strange because knives and forks are certainly not Mason tools. This then suggests that

the shape that the objects makes, is more important the than objects that make the shape. So what is this

shape trying to tell us? The V or triangle shape seems to be used a lot in Freemason symbolism.

An example of this is another important Mason symbol of the Trowel which off course is another

triangle shape. In Stone-Age excavations archaeologists and palaeontologists have discovered many V
