Where might we see a reference to ouroboros in Masonic Life?
The legend of the Master Builder marks the new beginning of a Brother’s life as a Master Mason and repeats the theme of the ouroborus with the death of the old way and the symbolic life of a new Master Mason. If we consider the universality that our lodge room as a whole represents, we see the planetary revolutions of the sun and moon as viewed here on earth. We see the perpetual and cyclical - day and night. So the ouroboros surrounds the lodge room and the earth in a circular plane that is situated between east and west. Where in the lodge room do all these individual events that involve the candidate take place? Between east and west. Coincidence?

Note- if you want your parcel to be send as a “gift” not a “sale” (possibility of not paying extra custom fees) please let me know and be aware of longer shipment time ( approx extra 2-3 weeks)

* Refused/Unpaid or parcel with missing wrong address will be returned back to me(can take up to a month) and only resend back to buyer if full postage fees will be paid again.I’m
