The Landmarks of the Grand Lodge of Nevada, passed in September 1872, include:

Every person, to be made a Mason, must be a man of lawful age, free born, and hale and sound, as a man ought to be.

The ballot for candidates is strictly and inviolably secret.

No one can be made a Mason except in a lawful Lodge, duly convened, after petition and acceptance by unanimous vote.

These Landmarks are also enshrined in Masonic usage.

"It was the single object of all the ancient rites and mysteries practiced in the very bosom of pagan darkness, shining as a solitary beacon in all that surrounding gloom, and cheering the philosopher in his weary pilgrimage of life, to reach the immortality of the soul. This is still the great design of the third degree of Masonry."

R. F. Gould.

"In 1915, the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts chartered a Lodge in China with the express understanding that an Islamite might and should be obligated on the Koran and that a Hindu might have the Vedas spread before him."

Oliver Street, "Freemasonry in Foreign Lands", 1924.

nein, das ist nicht korrekt aber das muss es auch nicht. Wir müssen jeder für uns wissen, was es uns sagt. Damit ist es Kunst. Provokationskunst zwar aber Kunst. Es wird Zeit an den Rohen Stein zurück zu kehren und eine universelle Ethik auszuhämmern. Eine die nicht auf dem Wert von Geld und Warenverkehr abzielt. Im Kapitalismus wird Gesundheit und Jugend zur Ware -das haben wir gelernt. Im Kommunismus wird die objektiv/überprüfbare Wahrheit und Freiheit zum Systemfeind. Think new

The Harleian Manuscript, dated about 1670, lists the seven liberal arts as being of importance to all Masons. They are: grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. Of which it notes geometry as being the most worthy, as no other art or science can exist without it.

All liberal arts are incorporated in Masonic learning, with geometry enjoying a very special role.

"The Ancient Landmarks are those fundamental principles which characterize Masonry as defined by the Charges of a Freemason, and without which the institution cannot be identified as Masonry, combined with the essentials of the unwritten language by which brethren distinguish each other as Masons "

Adopted as definition by Masonic Congress at Chicago, 1893, for the Grand Lodge of Illinois.

"The Ancient Landmarks of Freemasonry, like all other landmarks material or symbolically, can only preserve their stability when they reach down to sure foundations."

Each Grand Lodge in the USA, at some time or another, laid down its own Landmarks, some few in number, some great. These Landmarks, despite their differences, show the binding foundations of all Masonic belief and work.

🪶 Das Freimaurer-Zitat der Woche

„Never despair, keep pushing on!“ – Sir Thomas Lipton (1846–1931), Unternehmer und Freimaurer. Sein Weg vom Kabinenjungen zum Gründer eines Weltunternehmens steht für Mut und Ausdauer. Selbst fünf Niederlagen beim America’s Cup hielten ihn nicht auf. Eine Haltung, die auch Freimaurer leben: weitergehen, lernen, wachsen.

"The fundamental principles of Ancient Operative Masonry are few and simple and they were not called landmarks. Each lodge was independent of every other, and there was no superior authority over all. Each was composed of Apprentices and Fellow Crafts. Each had its Master and Wardens, and these were elected by vote of all the members. The ancient charges show by what principles the relations of those of the fellowship to each other were regulated."

One of what is possibly the oldest known symbolic carpets - used to display the symbols and illustrate the working tools of each Degree in European Lodges - was found by chance stored in an iron box buried in Vienna. Discovered during building works in 1860, it must be dated to before 1794, when the practice of Masonry was suspended.

Modern European Lodges still use ceremonial carpets, while English Lodges use tracing boards.
