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...

Part I Part II Last Time : In my last Superman conspiracy post, I promised more insight into the DaVinci connection. First, a review: The movie The DaVinci Code made the painting The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci even more famous. As I mused about the possibility that Superman could be a modern day Messianic legend, I mentioned the similarities between the color themes of Jesus and John's, (Mary Magdalene's?) clothes and those of Superboy and Mon-El. Sure, the colors are the same, but what other connections are there? Well, the original pre-Crisis version of Superboy sacrifices himself to save Earth. Because he uses his own body as a conductor between two wide spread energy terminals, he dies with arms outspread as if on a crucifix. Meanwhile, Mon-El, his best friend is left to carry on his works. For an impressive recounting of this link to: The Greatest Hero of Them All OK, we have the sacrifice of the heroic messiah figure, but what about the sacred femini...

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”. El rito del grado el 20 por Albert Pike que mencionó en mi correo previo es nombrado “Maestro de la Logia Simbólica¨.

Hay otras referencias al Ritual Escocés en la película. Patrick Gates dijo a Ben Gates: ”No habló con tus madre en veinticinco años! “ Ben respondió: “No, eso treinta dos años.” Treinta dos es la final terminal grado en el Ritual Escocés y veinticinco es otra grado que menciona al problema 47 de Euclid.

I’ve written about National Treasure: Book of Secrets and its connections to Freemasonry for my last several posts . The rich history of the Masonic fraternity and it’s interconnectedness to the formation of the United States of America make it a fun topic to explore. You should also consider exploring Masonic lodges in the real world! These buildings and the organizations that inhabit them can be breathtaking. I’ve never been to a lodge that wasn’t happy to show an interested person around. Below are a few lodges that I’m familiar with. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania : This building is incredible! There are seven different lodge rooms and each one is more awe-inspiring and opulent than the next. There is a web based tour of the building at: Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania Tour . The link will land you on a page that has links to all the lodge rooms. The rest of the tour is worth taking as well. But, if you're anywhere near Philadelphia...

Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V One of my brothers sent me an interesting article that was recently published in the Washington Post: Freemasonry, Eager to Step from Cultural Shadows The informative, well written article relates among other things that the first scene of National Treasure: Book of Secrets was filmed in the grand auditorium of the George Washington Masonic Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia. Besides George Washington, there is at least one other Masonic president featured in the movie: Theodore Roosevelt . Roosevelt's profile is featured prominently on Mount Rushmore of course. But, that's not Roosevelt's only connection to the National Park system. It turns out that his administration managed to set aside more than 42 million acres for national forests, parks, and wildlife refuges. During a recent visit to the Grand Masonic Lodge of New York in Manhattan, one of the janitors showed me the desk where Roosevelt signed at least one of the documents ...

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. The second reference was found in the 25th degree. In the movie, Patrick Gates and Ben Gates have the following dialog: "I haven't talked to your mother in 25 years." "No dad, it's been 32." 5. 32 is the number of degrees in Scottish Rite masonry. The additional reference to 25 l...

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

I forgot! I can't believe I forgot, but I did! I was standing in one of the chambers of the Great Pyramid this morning. I was the first one in line, so I was in the chamber all by myself. The entryway to the chamber was about 100 yards long. It consisted of three foot high passageways that went upwards and downwards straight through the middle of the pyramid. I could hear the voices of the group behind me projected by the passageways. I wondered if they would be shocked to find a person already there when they arrived. The first person of the group came into the chamber. She looked like she was 17, and about as tall as me. As she stood up, she looked at me and gave me one of the biggest goofiest grins I've seen in a while. And my heart lit up a little bit. Her boyfriend who must have been 27 came into the chamber after her. I looked again and sure enough, she was about 27 as well! She was 27 now, but that grin had taken 10 years off her age for an instant! We all know...
