Last Autumn I visited the small island of Samothraki, Greece in the northeastern Aegean Sea. The island is beautiful with rocky beaches, mountains, dense forests, and natural waterfalls all packed into a small space. View Larger Map But, what initially drew my attention to it was the Sanctuary of the Great Gods . Alexander the Great's mother and father met there during a initiation. I wanted to find out if there were any links between modern-day Masonic ceremonies and the ritual initiations performed there. The site is beautiful! The layout doesn't fit with the east-west layout of today's lodges. Almost every building on the site was situated north-south. Of course, with the gorgeous views of the sea to the north, who could blame them! This site of temples and meeting halls is also where the "Winged Victory" statue was found. The statue "Winged Victory", which now resides in the Louvre was found on Samothraki and recently featured in the movie Ange...

In English En extendiendo mi investigación en La Búsqueda El Diario Secreto Página 47 Masónic conexión, Yo encontró algo hechos interesantes. ¡La distancia entre el Trópico del Cáncer y el trópico del Capricornio esta 47 grados! Estas latitudes son asociadas con el solsticio del verano y el solsticio del invierno. Masons también los asocian con San Juan Bautista, el solsticio del verano, y San Juan Evangelista, solsticio del invierno. Así, tenemos otro conexión entre 47 y los ritos Masónicos. ¿Oh, y la fecha de publicación? ¡Esto es verdad, ello fue de diciembre el 21, el fecha del solsticio del invierno! Una mas conexión, note que el diagrama sobre es nombrada “La Forma de la Logia Simbólica”.

Part I Part II Is the Superman story a modern-day Messianic legend? A comic book, an animated movie, a Jewish temple, DaVinci, and the latest Superman movie all offer evidence. Is there a connection? Does our author simply have too much time on his hands? You decide. My interest in this all started years ago. The comic book character Superman was killed by an alien villain, Doomsday. There was a lot of fanfare, and a funeral was attended by most of the other superheroes. But, low and behold, a few days later, Superman came back to life. The whole resurrection thing seemed a bit odd, but it wasn't too big of a deal. In addition to the comic book version , recently, an animated film of the same story was released. Then, a few years later, I was jogging to Central Park in Manhattan when I passed the Temple Emanu-El . The building is beautiful! If you get a chance, go visit. But what captured my interest was the -El ending of the temple's name. It reminded...

Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V I did a bit more research on the Masonic connections surrounding the new National Treasure movie yesterday. First, a brief recap: 1. The content of page 47 of the Book of Secrets is left as an unanswered mystery at the end of the movie. 2. Masonry and especially Scottish Rite Masonry makes several references to Euclid’s 47th problem also known as the Pythagorean Theorem. 3. The Scottish Rite’s degree lectures were re-written by Albert Pike who is mentioned throughout the movie. 4. The first reference I found to Euclid’s 47th problem in Morals and Dogma , (the Scottish Rite lectures by Albert Pike), was in the 20th degree lecture.

Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V In continuing my research into the National Treasure Book of Secrets page 47 Masonic connection, I came across a few other interesting facts. The distance between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn is 47 degrees! These latitudes are associated with the summer and winter solstice. Masons also associate them with Saint John the Baptist, (summer solstice), and St. John the Evangelist, (winter solstice). So, we have another connection between 47 and Masonic rites! Oh, and the release date of the movie in the United States? That's right, it was on December 21st, the date of the Winter solstice! One last connection: Notice that the diagram above is titled: "The Form of the Symbolic Lodge". The 20th degree ritual by Albert Pike that I mentioned in my previous post is titled: "Master of the Symbolic Lodge". Read More About It Watch More About It
