Masonic Studies

Never entirely analyzed until now, the pictorial iconography of Maria Carolina looks more vivacious and interesting than that of her sister Marie-Antoinette, queen of France, both for its various languages from different countries, as the Neapolitan late baroque, the French rococo, the German neoclassic, and for the iconography and the iconology, as shown by the suggestive presence of the Antique, the allusions to the maternity and even some Masonic references.

Mozart and his connection with the Freemason have been the subject of a number of studies, most of which aiming at determining if and if so to which extent the Freemasonic milieu influenced Mozart's production. The main aim of this paper is to review critically a recent study on Mozart by two Italian musicologists claiming that Mozart was nothing but a pretty mediocre musician and composer who exploited the Freemasonic net for his own interests. A thesis in no way proved and largely based on very old anti-Masonic prejudicial ideas.

Buildings have a significant and continuously increasing impact on the environment because they are responsible for a large portion of carbon emissions and use a considerable number of resources and energy. The green building movement emerged to mitigate these effects and to improve the building construction process. This paradigm shift should bring significant environmental, economic, financial, and social benefits. However, to realize such benefits, efforts are required not only in the selection of appropriate technologies but also in the choice of proper materials. Selecting inappropriate materials can be expensive, but more importantly, it may preclude the achievement of the desired environmental goals. In order to help decision-makers with the selection of the right materials, this study proposes a mixed integer optimization model that incorporates design and budget constraints while maximizing the number of credits reached under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. To illustrate this model, this paper presents a case study of a building in Colombia in which a modified version of LEED is proposed.

In my book The Genesis of Freemasonry I proposed how natural philosopher and Freemason Dr Jean Theophilus Desaguliers was responsible for creating the third degree by the mid-1720s. Before this, there were two 'parts' being performed; the Entered Apprentice and the Fellow Craft. The new three degree style ritual soon spread. It seemed that Freemasons soon wanted to explore deeper pathways within Masonry, leading to new ideas being developed. Chevalier Ramsey was a Jacobite Mason who had gone to France to tutor the sons of aristocrats, and in his Masonic address in 1737, he famously outlined that Freemasonry was linked to the Crusaders and Chivalric Orders. His Oration put forward that after being preserved in the British Isles, it was transported to France, and though there is no evidence that Masonry was associated in any way to the Crusaders or Chivalry, it does show that at this time there was a developing interest in Chivalric Orders in relation to Freemasonry. Though Ramsey did not set out any plans for new Chivalric Masonic Orders in his 'Oration', his address certainly assisted to inspire them.

[The Second DAILY Invocation: To the Superior agents in Merai nicknamed Mercury; for the spiritual Monday, and not for the temporal Monday. SUNDAY is the true day Monday, given to Mercury.] O you M.10., O you M.93., O you M.21. I CALL you and invoke you by the triple and quadruple-increased power that the Eternal creator has upon his minor creature by his own power— being however, a major Superior temporal one! I am that powerful creature the Lord dedicated to be the most perfect agent to those that are temporally spiritual. Your power is bounded in its faculty of action and operation, of which the God-man of the earth was the point before his prevarication. So that you remember the truth of what I am saying to you, I reiterate to you the first commandment which was made to you by the first man, who subjected your power to his own by the power of his word! I am that first man who was presented to all of you dressed in his first virtue and spiritual power. Warning, fear and trembling are given to you, by the triple and quadruple power of the word controlling you and commanding you to obey promptly the contents of my invocation set before you in the tableau of my operation. I conjure you through all I have that is most sacred, by everything most holy, and the formidable power of O M.52. and O M.47., who preside over all of you from the angles of East and West up to your visual region; I conjure you again by the very name, Holy action of the Eternal O M.68., who presides over you from the angle of the North in your region, so that the most powerful intelligence that is innate in you now joins to my spiritual and temporal wellbeing. I compel you with all your superior powers joining you to do that commanded of you by the Eternal, his actions and operation, and to be in all the circumstances of this temporal life intimately subjected to Him

gave a resumé of the most recent fifty years, for more than twenty of which he had then been a member of the Lodge and, for almost fifteen, Secretary. The present short account of the history of the Lodge inevitably draws very largely from the efforts of Bros. Godding, Scratchley and Stubbs.

The Foundation Stone Meditation given by Rudolf Steiner is a marvelous structure of thought with tremendous significance that has been compared, justifiably, to the Lord’s Prayer, the Holy Grail and the Philosopher’s Stone. In these few pages I would like to introduce the idea that The Foundation Stone unveiled at the Christmas Conference of 1923-24 was and is a reappearance of the legendary Golden Triangle, the Mystic Hammer and the Lost Word that was given to Hiram, the Architect/Builder of the Temple of Solomon and that the Anthroposophical movement has, in the Foundation Stone, the ideal tools for building a modern Temple for Humanity.

A priori, l'architecture maçonnique ne semble pas poser question : pour l'observateur extérieur ou distrait, il existe une architecture maçonnique comme il existe une musique maçonnique, qui se caractérise par un rapport direct, notamment symbolique ou esthétique, avec la pratique maçonnique elle-même. Pourtant, pour qui veut engager un travail sur l'architecture maçonnique, qu'il soit chercheur universitaire ou cherchant au sein d'une loge, la quête d'informations relève la plus souvent du jeu de piste.

Proponiamo la lettura del lavoro di Vinicio Serino  “Arturo Reghini, Pitagorico”, apparso nel 2005 come introduzione alla raccolta, curata da Moreno Neri, Per la restituzione della Massoneria Pitagorica Italiana .
Il contributo di Vinicio Serino è testo da leggere con calma più volte, assaporandone gli stimoli e scoprendone i profondi Significati. Siamo di fronte ad una sintesi viva ed efficace, utile per ravvivare l’interesse per chi già conosce la tematica, ancor più utile per i tanti che probabilmente non hanno avuto l’opportunità di affrontarla.
Ritornare alle fonti, soprattutto quando ci si trova immersi nel caos, è una necessità se si desidera proseguire il cammino con la dovuta vigilanza e perseveranza.
Tanto più quando ciò consente di riscontrare, ancora una volta, l’unicità della sorgente comune rappresentata dalla Sapienza tradizionale.

This publication contains, for the first time in English, the totality of Martinez de Pasqually’s l’Ordre des Chevaliers Macons Élus Coëns de l’Univers, manuscript B.M.G. MS. 4123 Extrait de ce qui est contenu dans les Grades de l’Ordre des E.C., or Extract of what is contained in the Grades of the Ordre of the E.C. This manuscript, the original of which is kept at the Bibliothèque Municipal de Grenoble, is part of a series of seven notebooks (Mss. 4123–4129) containing key catechisms, rituals and instructions of Pasqually’s order. Each of these Mss. have been privately released by the O.·.M.·.S.·. since 2018, and beginning in 2020, we gradually started releasing them as free digital publications online and in our usual hardcover books. Many Martinist publications are of great quality, whereas others are released by armchairs without practical magical experience and initiation in these highly complex systems. The O.·.M.·.S.·. feels it is time to release original manuscripts with initiatory notes for the greater Martinist community and esoteric community in general.

The other manuscripts of this collection include:

• B.M.G. MS. 4124 – Secret Explanation of the Catechisms of Apprentice, Companion, and Master Coën
• B.M.G. MS. 4125 – Catechisms of the Philosophers Élus Coëns of the Universe 1770
• B.M.G. MS. 4126 – Secret Instruction
• B.M.G. MS. 4128 – Prayers and Work for Reconciliation
• B.M.G. MS. 4129 – On the Circles and its Composition.

MS. 4123 contains extracts and notes on the floorwork of the Coën initiations from I° Symbolic Apprentice to X° Commander of the Orient. In the form of a catechism, this MS. exposes the physical content of the grades, its doctrine and teachings, forms of the Temples, and an overall summary of the initiations. It describes the colors and symbols of the grades, the consecrations, batteries, steps, and signs. It thus illustrates the general form, but still cannot convey the inner esoteric meanings of its skeletal presentation of the rites, a gnosis which can only be gained by being initiated through the grades, achieving the necessary Passes of the personal grade work, and earning the ranks of which it speaks.

The grades overviewed in this MS. include:

• I° Symbolic Apprentice
• II° Symbolic Companion
• III° Symbolic Master
• IV° Master Élu/Perfect Master Élu
• V° Apprentice Coën or Strongly Marked
• VI° Companion Coën or Double Strongly Marked
• VII° Master Coën or Triple Strongly Marked
• VIII° Grand Architect or Grand Master Coën
• IX° Knight of the East/Chevalier d’Orient
• X° Commander of the Orient

For each grade, we have included our own English translation, a faithful transcription of the original French, and a facsimilé of the original French manuscript. In this manner, the resources of the Tradition may be carefully preserved for the English-speaking world so that the next generation may begin where we have left off. Note that the original MS. often uses fragmented, incomplete sentences as these are essentially stage notes on the initiations intended for Officer training. We have not corrected or expanded on these except for clarifying notes in [brackets] and footnotes at the bottom of the page. Like the other E.C. MS., the reconstructionist must utilise all available sources in order to piece together a full and complete picture of the E.C., its initiations, and operations. Together with out other MS., other English-speaking Martinist and E.C. organizations now have the materials and keys to do this work for themselves.

Great thanks are due to Br.·. Ignoscentia, Master of O.·.M.·.S.·. Temple No. 11 in Sacramento, California for his assistance transcribing and translating the II°–VI° of this MS. Many thanks as well to Sr.·. Petra of O.·.M.·.S.·. Temple No. 1 in Austin, Texas for her labor in editing and proofreading our translations. You have both done a great service for the Ordre, your brethren, and the Martinist community.

Cet article est extrait d’une thèse de Doctorat en Architecture : « Le temple maçonnique : forme, type et signification », sous la direction d’A. Mastrorilli (ENSAPLille, ED SHS, Université de Lille 3). Il offre un panorama de l'architecture des temples maçonniques en Angleterre, en Ecosse et en Irlande.

D'entrée, la question posée en titre pourrait paraître provocatrice, s'agissant d'illustrer par un propos théorique le catalogue d'une exposition consacrée… à l'architecture maçonnique. Pourtant, à la lecture de certains ouvrages ou magazines récemment parus 1 , notamment à la suite du dernier roman de Dan Brown 2 , on peut légitimement se poser la question.

Difficile de savoir si le chevalier de Ramsay est déjà franc-maçon lorsqu'il rédige et publie son unique roman. Pierre Chevallier, par exemple, ne nous rend pas la tâche plus aisée, lui qui affirme : « C'est en tout cas au cours du séjour en Angleterre que Ramsay fut reçu Franc-Maçon à la Loge Horn en mars 1730. Fut-ce toutefois une première initiation, ou bien une seconde ? La question se pose, parce que les Voyages de Cyrus parus en 1727 contiennent des allusions aux mystères de l'Ordre » 1. Quoi qu'il en soit, ce bildungsroman est écrit en français, mais connaît aussitôt un projet d'édition anglaise. Ramsay est alors proche des milieux jacobites qu'il fréquente en France, mais également dans le Comtat Venaissin. C'est aussi, comme l'écrit Auguste Viatte, « le converti de Fénelon » 2 , l'homme qui a entrepris la publication des oeuvres de son maître et qui continue à défendre vaille que vaille la doctrine du Pur Amour. Ainsi, sa double situation d'opposant politique et de membre d'un courant mystique en délicatesse avec l'Église a souvent favorisé une lecture purement biographique de son unique roman. Nous n'entendons pas ici contester cette interprétation légitime et pertinente. Mais nous voudrions avant tout examiner le message spirituel que la forme du roman d'apprentissage permet de transmettre. Nous voudrions aussi comprendre comment les thèses développées dans ce récit ont pu avoir une influence sur l'écriture du Discours de 1736. Pour cela, nous situerons brièvement Les Voyages de Cyrus dans leur contexte littéraire ; puis nous apprécierons les enjeux spirituels de l'ouvrage avant, enfin, d'examiner les éléments du roman qui perdureront dans le Discours. Nous n'avons pas ici pour but de passer en revue tous les enjeux théoriques et métaphysiques du roman. Nous ne proposons simplement que la première approche d'une piste qui reste encore largement à explorer. Nombreux sont les critiques qui ont eu la tentation de faire des Voyages de Cyrus une simple imitation des Aventures de Télémaque. Il est vrai que l'ouvrage exploite une ellipse historique pour y mettre en scène l'éducation d'un prince appelé à régner un jour. Ainsi Robert Granderoute, dans sa thèse intitulée Le Roman pédagogique de Fénelon à Rousseau, écrit que « le Cyrus, à l'imitation du Télémaque, est bien une oeuvre pédagogique. Le Télémaque est le roman d'éducation du fils d'Ulysse, de même le Cyrus est le récit d'éducation du fils de Cambyse » 3. Comme chez Fénelon, le

Este trabajo pretende dar a conocer la relevancia del modernismo de Lisboa a través de la figura de Manuel Joaquim Norte Júnior, arquitecto cuya trayectoria, cronología y lenguajes formales se encuentran cercanos a Enrique Nieto y Nieto . Al mismo tiempo, y debido a la filiación masónica de Norte Júnior se analizará sucintamente su estética. Toda su obra tiene un marcado componente simbólico, cuestión que es interesante abordar desde una perspectiva científica, observando los paralelismos con otros arquitectos modernistas europeos que también formaron parte de esta asociación filantrópica y filosófica.

Kabbalah (קַ בָּלָה) is derived from ancient Hebraic priesthood practices that has as it's goal the transformation or perfection of mankind. Today’s Kabbalah mostly happens from the neck up – via meditation, study, and contemplation. In other words, most students of Kabbalah sit on their butts and study. It wasn't always so. In the beginning, there was an internal and external ebb and flow. Ancient Kabbalahists, or Mequbbāl (מְ קוּבָּל), served the Creator with their minds as well as their bodies - with a sword in one hand and a trowel in the other. 

Masonic and Biblical traditions inform us that the Kabbalah has been given to mankind, by our Creator, on several occasions. The first to receive this ancient knowledge was Adam through the teachings of the Archangel Raziel. Next to receive it was Abraham, via Malchizedek, King of Salem and priest of El Elyon. The third revelation was given to Moses on Mount Sinai. There have been more since then …

Rosicrucian and Masonic symbols provide clues to solving the riddle of the Dedication to Shake-speare's Sonnets, published in 1609.  Assuming that "William Shakespeare" was a pseudonym, the actual author may have been Sir Francis Bacon or Edward De Vere, teh 17th Earl of Oxford, both of whom were Rosicrucians and cryptographers.  The "initials" under the triangular shapes of the dedication are not those widely presumed to be "T.T." for Thomas Thorpe, the publisher, but a pair of Greek gammas representing the Masonic symbol "G" and the Pillars of Solomon's Temple.  Encrypted names and mottos in the twenty-eight-word dedication indicate that the sonnets are dedicated to Henry Wriothesley, Third Earl of Southamption.  Evidence in the Dedication implies that Henry was the natural son of Edward De Vere, who kept their relationship secret to protect Henry's privacy and possibly his life, if his enemies suspected he had a claim to the throne of England.

Le « Discours » de Ramsay fait partie, avec les Constitutions d'Anderson, de ces textes emblématiques, souvent qualifiés de « textes fondateurs de la Franc-maçonnerie ». Beaucoup l'ont parcouru. L'a-t-on vraiment lu ? Pourquoi ce texte a-t-il joui d'une telle réputation, d'une telle aura, au point d'en faire le « point de départ » de la constitution des systèmes de hauts grades ? Et pourquoi, aujourd'hui, a-t-on tendance à renier ou tout au moins à limiter son influence historique ?

It is always discouraging, as a Centenary celebration approaches, for a new Lodge Secretary to find that the brethren expect a history of the Lodge to be produced for the meeting in question. This is particularly the case when a number of brethren from the Lodge are clearly more qualified to essay the task than the Secretary himself. There comes a point, however, when the absence of volunteers becomes an urgent reality and the nettle must be grasped; the one bonus in this case was the discovery in the Minutes that a history had already been produced for the Jubilee meeting in 1947. Although a copy was not to be found in the Lodge archives, the Library at Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen Street as usual came to the rescue (in the person of W Bro John Hamill), and as a consequence it forms the core of the earlier part of the present edition. The Mark Lodge is fortunate in possessing a complete set of Minute Books, Signature Books, Declaration Books and some Accounts Books, but little in the way of correspondence. However, until the advent as Secretary of P K Kekewich in 1956 and his successor W J Thompson, tertius in 1968, the Minutes tend to be brief and formalistic, so that many matters of importance are not covered at all, or only in passing. The Register of Marks is sadly incomplete, containing the names and marks of only around three quarters of the members of the Lodge. As a result, it is really a misnomer to apply the word history to this booklet, it is rather more a brief summary of key events and key individuals during the period over which the Lodge has had its existence. This Secretary, at least, hopes that one day a true historian with the time and skill to investigate contemporary documents does take on the job.

BAŞLARKEN
Mesleğimizin dili ve terminolojisi önemli bir şey değil, önemli tek
şeydir!
Masonluğun bir Tefekkür ve Tefsir Sanatı olduğu tanımı, bu çalışmanın
ve bir önceki cümlenin özünü anlatır. Bugünün yaşamında pek de
kullanılmayan bu iki kavram, mesleğimizi ve bizlere düşeni çok güzel
ifade eder.
Mesleğimizin dilini öğrenmek, terminolojisine hakim olmak zorundayız.
Aksi takdirde Mason olmak isteyen ancak Masonluğu anlamaktan
aciz kimseler oluveririz. Kadim zamanların bilgi ve bilgeliğini taşıyan
bu sözcüklerin anlattığı felsefeye uzak düşmemiz işten bile değildir.
Masonluğun bir düşünme sistemi olarak kendi terminolojisi vardır,
bunu kavramları güncelleyerek aşamayız. Tam tersine çıkmaz sokaklara
girdiğimizle kalırız.
Sözgelimi Hakikat kavramı. Günümüz Türkçesine taşımaya
kalktığımızda karşımıza çıkan Gerçek sözcüğü, sıradan bir insanın sıradan
bir gününde yapacağı sıradan konuşmalar için yeterlidir. Ancak ezoterik
düşünceler ile meşgul bir inisiye için yeterli değildir. Hatta yanıltıcıdır. Bir
başka kavram da Muhterem’dir. Sözlüğe bakıp Sayın ya da Saygıdeğer’in
aynı anlama geldiği söylenebilir ama aynı değildir. Sayın lafı usulen
kullanılan bir hitap şekliyken, Muhterem’de bilgisini takdir ve kalpten gelen
bir saygı vardır. Nur, günlük yaşamda Işık’tır. Ziya da günümüzde Işık’tır.
Bu durumda Nur-u Ziya, Işığın Işığı mı oluyor? Tabii ki! Ziya, gözümüzü
ve günümüzü aydınlatan Güneş gibi bir Işık anlamına geliyor. Doğrudan
bakılmayacak kadar güçlü aydınlığı remzediyor, göz kamaştırıyor. Nur
ise Güneş’ten gelen ışığı yansıtan Ay gibi, içimizi ve karanlık gecemizi
aydınlatıyor. Doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak alınan Işık, anlamı pekiştirilerek
Nur-u Ziya halini alıyor. Şimdi siz sözleyin, otomobil farından bahseder
gibi tek başına Işık bu güçlü anlamı ifade edebiliyor mu?
Konumuz, günümüz Türkçesi ile geçmişe ait olan ile de sınırlı değildir.
Mesleğimiz sadece Doğu değil, Batı kaynaklarından da beslenmekte,
ilham almaktadır. Bunlar arasında Latince başta olmak üzere günümüz
devletlerinin kullandığı İngilizce, Almanca ve Fransızca gibi diller
ile unutulup kaybolmaya yüz tutmuş ortaçağ Avrupa’sına ait diller de
bulunmaktadır.
Bu açıdan bakıldığında Rit, Order, Obediyans, Juridiksiyon gibi kimi
kavramlara da Türkçe karşılıklar bulunabilir ancak anlamları da yitip gider.
Farklı yönlere giden değişikler de söz konusudur. Günümüzde hepimizin
kullandığı Kardeş buna tipik bir örnektir. Kardeş, uniseks başka bir ifade
ile cinsiyetsiz bir kavramdır. Kız Kardeş için Hemşire, erkek Kardeş için
de Birader kavramlarının kullanılması gerekir(di). Ancak Birader hiç
kullanılmama sınırına gelip dayanmış, yerini de genel tanımlama ifadesi
olan Kardeş kavramına bırakmıştır. Diğer kavram ise dişil karakterini
koruyarak günümüzde de kullanılmaya devam etmektedir. Bu açıdan ele
alındığında Kardeş kavramı, değişimin tartışmaya açık belki de olumsuz
yöndeki bir örneği olarak dilimizde yerini alacaktır.
Bugün sıklıkla kullanılan Evrenin Ulu Mimarı kavramı ise dildeki
değişimin olumlu yöndeki tipik bir örneği olarak dikkat çeker. Önceki
Ritüel’lere göz gezdirildiğinde bu halinden önce Kainatın Ulu Yaradanı
olduğu görülecektir. Yaşça 1950’ler öncesinde de mesleğimizi icra
etmiş Kardeş’lerimiz o dönemde de Sani-i Azam-ı Kainat kavramının
kullanıldığını hatırlayacaktır.
Dilde değişimler ve dönüşümler olmuştur, olmaktadır, olacaktır da.
Anlamların korunması, manalarının yitip gitmemesi kaydıyla...
Bu çalışmanın amacı, mesleğimizin sırlarına vakıf olmak isteyen
Kardeş’ler için bir tür ‘avadanlık’ olmaktır. Konferans verecek ya da
konuşma yapacak Kardeş’lerin bildiklerini kontrol için katkı sağlaması
arzu edilen bu çalışma kuşkusuz zaman içinde gözden geçirilecek,
yenilenecek ve geliştirilecektir.
Kaçınılmaz eksikler de giderilecektir.
Bu çalışmayı bütünleyecek ve hemen her maddeyi tamamlayacak
bilgileri içeren EK OKUMA kısımlarında listelenen birbirinden değerli
yazılı ve/veya basılı eserleri içerecek ikinci cilt için de çalışmalar
sürmektedir. Pek yakın zamanda bu ikinci cilt de tamamlanacaktır.
Kardeş’lerin kendi hamtaşlarını yontması gibi, Masonluk var oldukça,
bu ve buna benzer dil odaklı çalışmalar da sürüp gidecektir.
Bir Mason’un bilmesi gereken (1-3) Semboller | Simgeler | Kavramlar
başlıklı çalışma, en başında hedeflendiği gibi, sadece Çırak-Kalfa-Üstat
derecelerinde çalışan, Sembolik Masonluk ile sınırlı tutuldu. Evrenin Ulu
Mimarı izin verirse Felsefi Masonluk kavramlarını da kapsayacak hali de
siz değerli Kardeşlerim ile zaman içinde buluşacaktır.

The importance of masonic education is a subject that has been overlooked by many lodges. In the interest of forming a lodge of research and education in the Delaware jurisdiction, and hopefully help other lodges do the same. I see it fitting to explain Masonic education’s Raison d'etre, its purpose and importance. The Modern mason will quickly learn that the craft, in our current era, goes under the name of speculative masonry. It is important to understand why this is the case, that way we will fully appreciate the importance of masonic education.

Inventada entre las Islas británicas, Holanda y Francia a la confluencia del siglo XVII y del siglo XVIII, la francmasonería fue la primera expresión de una sociedad civil internacional. Abandonada durante mucho tiempo por los sociólogos e historiadores, solo se constituyó en objeto de investigaciones científicas durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Este contexto explica la pregnancia residual de ciertas leyendas tejidas en torno a sus orígenes. ¿Cuáles son estos mitos? ¿Cuáles fueron las funcciones de estas neotradiciones? ¿Cuáles son los verdaderos orígenes de la masonería? ¿Cuál fue la relación entre su creación y la revolución cultural del siglo XVIII, siglo de las Luces, de la ciencia y de la razón?

À partir d’enquêtes de terrain et d’autobiographies de « compagnons », cet article propose de retracer la naissance et l’évolution d’une notion clé du compagnonnage : l’« Orient ». Forgée en réaction aux progrès du machinisme au xixe siècle, elle a rapidement fait référence à une valeur identitaire : la maîtrise de soi, qui, pour les compagnons, définit l’homme de métier. Les « sentiers de l’Orient » évoquent ainsi le cheminement d’un concept dans la culture compagnonnique ainsi que les voies, techniques et initiatiques, conduisant les apprentis à se réaliser.

Based on field studies and autobiographies of "compagnons," this paper retraces the origin and development of a key notion of compagnonnage: the Orient. Created in the nineteenth century in reaction to the progress of mechanization, it soon refers to an identity value: self-control that for journeymen characterizes a craftsman. "Paths to Orient" evokes the evolution of a concept in the compagnonnage culture and the technical and initiatory ways leading apprentices to mastery.

Americans of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries shared specific ideas concerning the appearance of Solomon's temple. This conception was shaped by a specific set of artists, art works, and buildings. This American conception of Solomon;s Temple was not exclusive to Freemasonry. Rather, the fraternity was so prevalent within American society during this time that the organization's concern with Solomon's temple influenced the nation's culture more broadly.

This paper analyzes the Cuban Freemasonry from a historical and evolutionary perspective, which has a cause-and-effect relation in Cuban society and in construction of the national identity. Shows the correlation between Freemasonry and the political and intellectual life on the island, as a civil society actor, which has been not enough studied by social scientists. Therefore, under the project " Quo Vadis, Cuba?. Implications for Europe and Poland " , the present article tries to show the role of various Masonic Lodges in the construction of the XXI century Cuba.

La obra de Cremaster 3 (2002) de Matthew Barney constituye un ejemplo paradigmático de la complejidad simbólica y estética de la creación audiovisual de algunos autores contemporáneos. A través de la profundidad iconóligca en masonería, su autor logra plasmar una adaptación de la Leyenda de masónica de la muerte de Hiram, arquitecto del Templo de Salomón en un espacio arquitectónico emblemático como el Edificio Chrysler. Para esta producción, que sirve de nexo narrativo entre sus otros cuatro Cremaster, el artista toma sincréticamente las herramientas proporcionadas por los hermetismos simbólicos y el análisis documental de la estética masónica, formulando así una creación que permite entrever los sentidos de la obra de arte total, en su significado wagneriano actual.

Este trabajo pretende reflexionar sobre los efectos sociales de los hitos urbanos masónicos de Canarias, analizando su integración democrática en el paisaje urbano. En la concepción de la ciudad como entidad multicultural, es necesario divulgar los avances, pues se sigue tropezando con mitos de la memoria colectiva, que hacen peligrar la simbología masónica de paradigmas internacionales existentes: Logia de Añaza, Mausoleo de la Quinta Roja. Palabras Clave: Masonería. Arquitectura. Estética. Canarias. Franquismo. Sociedad. Restauración. Lan honek Kanarietako hiri-itu masonikoen gizarte-eraginari buruzko gogoeta eragin nahi du, hiri-paisaian bere integrazio demokratikoa aztertuz. Kultura aniztun entitate bezala hiriaren kontzeptuan beharrezkoa da aurrerakuntzak hedatzea, nazioarte mailako paradigma masoien sinbologia galdu arazten duten kolektiboaren oroimeneko mitoekin estropezu egiten jarraitzen baitute: Añazaren Logia, Bosgarren Logiaren Mausoleoa. Giltza-Hitzak: Masoneria. Arkitektura. Estetika. Kanariak. Frankismoa. Gizartea. Berrezarpena.
