Masonic Temple Photos - Identification?




Topic started on 1-3-2008 @ 06:35 PM by Siabra


I used to work in a hotel in central London which had a Masonic temple in the basement (to attract Masons to eat and pay for it) and also had the distinctive black and white chequered pattern on our floor tiles.

Anyway, before I left there, I took some photographs, though I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to or not!

What I was wondering is what the symbols on a big white block of a triangle inside a circle and letters saying SKI HKT HAET were all about?

I thought someone here might know. The photos are:

Are you sure the last word is haet. to me it looks like just HAE which i think could possibly be latin the way the a and e are close together like that. Ive been searching the net for a translation but with no luck so far.

Liverpool Street by any chance? QBSneak000 is quite correct, it does refer to the "original Grand Masters" and the double cube itself is used in the Royal Arch ceremony rather than Craft Masonry.

The abbreviations on the picture are:
SKI = Solomon King of Israel
HAB = Hiram A Bif
HKT = Hiram King of Tyre

Cool, thank you all very much, thats been puzzling me for ages!

Trinityman,
Its in a hotel in Bloomsbury, actually. Down in a conference room we had a movable temple - I had to learn how to set it up for our visitors. Though it gave some of the staff the creeps.

The triangle within a circle is part of the sacred geometry of the Order.

If one continues the pattern outward the next symbol would be a pentagon, followed by another circle. The next symbol would be a seven sided polygon, again with another circle outside. The last polygon would be nine sided and it would also be surrounded by a circle.

There is a symbol that should lie within the triangle. The Order identifies that symbol with the Tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew letters that spell God's name. The four letters are YHWH. This name is usually spelled out as Yahweh. In english the name is spelled out as Jehovah.




You'll see this trianglar symbol on the back of the US one dollar bill. Instead of having the Tetragrammaton in the middle, the artists put an eye in its place.

Jim Henson also used this Masonic symbol in his movie called The Dark Crystal. This symbol might be tied into a planetary great conjunction soon to come.
This movie is banned in the middle east, probably because of this symbol.

By the way, The Dark Crystal sequel is coming out around 2009.
