HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY IN YORK. HERE is no city in England more interesting to the Freemasons than York, and not one about which more fabulous statements have been made in connection with Freemasonry. It is partly because of the latter fact that we have been led to write this sketch, and as no such article has been previously presented to the Fraternity, we may be excused for attempting to tread on fresh grounds, seeing that reliable information on so important a subject is much wanted at this time. With the architectural features of the grand old city and its ornaments, we do not purpose having anything to do, excepting to state that, to the Mark Master Mason, the noble Minster and the ruins of the Abbey are especially precious, containing, as they do, a number of Masons' Marks, some of which have been collected by Mr. George Godwin, and published in the Sessional Papers of the "Royal Institute of British Architects," and in the "Builder," and many more may still be seen on the walls, Sessional Papers, 1868-9, London. No. 9. particularly in the early English basement, now in the crypt of the nth and 12th centuries. The origin of Masonry in York, and its ancient history, are much involved in fable, for in general, those who have written on the subject have been more anxious to magnify mere traditions, than to discover the few facts that still remain which illustrate its character for some centuries. Before 1700 we have no records but simply MS. Constitutions, although Bro. How in " Freemasons' Manual," would have us believe that the " York Rite has existed from time immemorial, and originated in the city of York, where the first Grand Lodge of England was held, A.D. 926 "--i.e. the York Rite, including the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the secrecy of Masonic society, the members heavily relied upon symbols and icons to communicate. This groundbreaking study details the secret society's influence on modern American and European aesthetics. In its own way, this book may be one of the most important contributions to an understanding of Western art, and will be invaluable to architects, artists, and anyone interested in the esoteric ideas and iconography of Freemasonry. Concepts such as death, trial, and descent into the depths are prevalent in Masonic architecture, and have permeated the designs of parks, gardens, and cemeteries for centuries. Architectural history professor James Stevens Curl also looks at the way Masonic ideas have permeated other art forms from literature to the performing arts, where operas like Mozart's The Magic Flute used Masonic elements in everything from the characters' names to the music to the stage designs-the original drawings of which are included here.The 190 exceptional illustrations are accompanied by detailed, informative captions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaflets of Masonic Biography, or Sketches of Eminent Freemasons When a Roman matron of former days was asked for her jewels, she pointed to her sons; and there is no reason why Freemasonry may not do the same. The time was, and Within the memory of men not yet far advanced in years, that, to be a Freemason, was to be suspected of, and charged With being an enemy to and a sinner against social order capable of any moral or political dereliction, and unworthy the confidence and respect of community. In some places they were refused Christian fellowship, and considered as guilty of offenses that would exclude them from heaven. They were distrusted in political organizations, as conspir ators against the peace and welfare of the nation. They were scorned in social circles, as unfit for respectable society, because they were members of the obnoxious Order; and they were sometimes prevented from sitting as jurors in courts of justice, because suspected of a want of integrity.

Download or read book Memory Palaces and Masonic Lodges written by Charles B. Jameux and published by Inner Traditions. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals how the art of memory is the origin of the Masonic method • Explains the classical techniques of the art of memory, how they were reworked by hermetic thinkers during the Renaissance, and how they contributed to the transformation of operative Freemasonry into speculative Freemasonry • Traces the creation of speculative Freemasonry to 1637, one hundred years earlier than previously thought • Explores how the “memory palaces” created with the art of memory enabled access to universal knowledge as well as represented the Masonic temple in its imaginary state In Antiquity, the art of memory was a mnemonic device that allowed an orator, such as Cicero, to recall all the points he wished to make by associating each of them with an image or architectural element in the site he was speaking. When this art was rediscovered in the Renaissance, hermetic thinkers like Giordano Bruno reworked it into a method that allowed them to acquire knowledge with the creation of “memory palaces.” The elements of these memory palaces were not intended to trigger the memory but would actually transform into talismanic objects with knowledge entirely new to the seeker. In this book, Charles B. Jameux shows that this hermetic reworking of the classical art of memory was no mystery to operative Masons, who grafted it onto their own rituals, catalyzing the transformation of operative Masonry into speculative Masonry. He shows how the hieroglyphic writing used during the Renaissance in the art of memory provided the groundwork for one of the most esoteric elements of masonic practice: the grasp of the realm of image by the letter, where symbols were “buried” within words. Using archival evidence from 17th-century Scotland and earlier, combined with the research of modern scholars such as Frances Yates and David Stevenson, Jameux argues that the creation of speculative Freemasonry can be traced back 100 years earlier than conventional history records--to 1637, when the first recorded use of the Mason’s Word appeared and with it, the first known appearance of the symbolic Temple of Solomon. He follows Giordano Bruno’s visit to the British Isles in the late 16th century and the subsequent activities of the men he met there, showing that Masonic symbolism owes much of its current form to early memory palaces, which represented the Masonic lodge and temple in their fully imaginary states. Revealing the pivotal role of the memory palace and hermetic traditions in early Masonic symbolism, Jameux sheds new light on the Masonic questions asked of each initiate and the spiritual importance of the Temple of Jerusalem to Freemasonry.
