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?
