Fellow Brothers,
I was just raised to Master Mason last night and have never felt so proud.
I have been looking for rings and came across a very cool ring that I really like but wanted to find out the general consensus about it before deciding to wear this daily.
Below is the ring and the explanation given
History Of This Ring
Many Brother's have asked the history behind this
ring. This is a Master Mason's ring. The skull and pillars are simply a design
we decided to use that incorporated parts of the European Traditions of a
candidate being placed in an ante room to reflect on his becoming a Mason and
the ante room has a skull in it.
The inscription can be found in both the Scottish Rite and York Rite, but
having this inscription has absolutely no bearing on if a Master Mason can wear
the ring. I always encourage all Master Mason's to petition the Scottish Rite,
York Rite and Shrine. A lot of good work is done in all three organizations,
some focusing on esoteric work more than others, but all are greatly
philanthropic.
In short, to answer the questions raised by some Mason's out there who have
been questioned on the Latin inscription, do not worry so much. Masonry is
about making good men better and helping your fellow man in our unity. Clearly
the statement; "What Virtue Unites, Death Cannot Remove" as the Spirit is
Eternal. I hope this helps you Brother's who have any concerns. We recently
added this to our new Masonic Skull rings that have become so popular.
This ring was made by request from Brothers
who wanted the SKULL PILLARS ring, but accept artistic impression to see their
final ring. This creation was made by our "Boy" goes simply by "G." He took
the SKULL PILLARS ring and made a DELUXE GROOVED version of it that is
incredible and totally unique.
The inscription in Latin means: "Virtus Junxit Mors Non Separabit" (Whom virtue has united, death shall not separate)
