Masonic Ring

Need more people with this attitude.

I know fine Freemasons that have never gone farther than the Blue Lodge. I know fine Freemasons that belong to several appendant bodies. It just depends on the individual. I belong to the AASR and the York Rite bodies. However, with me the Blue Lodge always comes first.

But I am curious how you can find a subject, such as my ring, distasteful when you admittedly do not know what the symbolism means? I'm not trying to be argumentative here Brother. Merely trying to understand.

I don't want the skull and crossbones for myself because it can be confused with a pirate theme by non-Masons. To me it's not worth explaining to outsiders.

But as I'm a Mason who learned that it means to remember mortality, I don't mind it in the least on other Brothers.

We are taught to divide our time three ways. We are taught that the degrees represent three phases of life. It that a list of threes, or are those overlapping threes? One answer is in the Momento Mori symbol. Yeah, cool symbol among ourselves.

Googled Pirate Freemason. Was not disappointed.

Just chiming in here from overseas. The memento mori is heavily tied to both the III and IV-V degrees
