Just as there was no direct connection between the civilizations that built the pyramids.. That's the fathers finger prints so to speak.
What do you know of lay lines or what ever term is used to describe alignments?
Also when I asked about the masons. I got the message that you "help widow and the widows son. That this is in service of the father." I was lead
to ask my family.. My grand father was the son of a widow and worked hard to support the family. The Masons payed his way into college where he met
his wife. So thank you.. I wouldn't exist without the Masons.
I don't know what degree he was as he didn't speak about that.
Do the Masons still do that?
Don't ask about the whole message thing as, well what I already said sounds nuts enough and the explanation is quite involved.
I would love to know about alignments and what the beliefs are If any..
Lay lines aren't a Masonic thing. At least they're not discussed in
any of the ritual work
I've done in Masonry. That being said, funny I should be the one you ask, because I
have dowsed a number of
historically religious sites in the UK from Tintagel to Glastonbury and points in between, and sure enough, on that line there are a number of
churches, stone circles, holy wells, and, of course, the Tor which may have once been Avalon.
There's also a Masonic alignment to two of my local universities, and I've covered both campuses with my rods with interesting results as well. But
I hadn't put together any more than that until you brought it up. Guess I'll have to keep looking.
And yes, widows & orphans are still an active concern of Masonry. I had a minor stroke last year and it had me pretty freaked out for a bit, but I
knew my brothers would take care of my family if necessary.
