It also is part of modern Masonic symbolism and most recently featured prominently in “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown. This month’s Esoteric Masonry session will focus on this symbol and some of its history. And then, in keeping with our focus on personal practice, and tools for transformation, we will learn a specific concentration practice that one can do with this symbol that has the potential to bring the practitioner further into Light. This session is open to all Mason’s as well as those interested in Masonry. Please arrive a few minutes early so that we can start on time.
