Well it's close enough. If you saw it, it shouldn't look foreign. I'm sure there is a brother that has researched this topic

No researched it, but proven people from several countries and 5 continents (Europe, Nth America, Sth America, Asia and Australia). Brazil was probably the most different. Let's just say he was declined entry and I had to work through the Grand Secs office...

When I attended the Grand Lodge of Scotland, I didn't recognize half of what was going on. My host told me "don't worry about it; just do what you do."

I belong to a traditional American lodge as well as a European Concept lodge working in Emulation Rite. The signs are VERY different. So they can look very foreign.

Umm, yes, as one who has experienced it, it can indeed look foreign.

Though, to be fair, there are any number of days I don't know what is going on.

We know its not. For instance the third degree dis not exist on yhe 16th century, if there was something akin to speculative masonry, it was more likely about Noah ( can't think of the supporting doc. That weakens my point - sure someone will help) tha HA, a character from the yet to be incorporated 3rd degree..

The Graham manuscript contains something about the Noah legend.

Ha. Only in lodge. Greed is a great incentive to sharpen the wit.

 

[BullDozer Harrell]

Do you brothers think signs, ob. Etc are the same ?

From what period to now? If you're speaking from the early days of Anglo Freemasonry since the Grand organization in the 18th century, then i would guess that the signs, passes, grips and probably the OBs are still close enough to the originals.

Personally i can't see too much that would have been changed even after the Morgan affair and numerous exposes before& after that great Masonic episode.
