If God is English then G is entirely appropriate. It could of course also be the Arabic Q - value 100 indicating the 100th and secret name of God - the lost word?
The skull and cross bones seems to refer to Osiris (raised by Horus/Hiram) or even to Horus the Elder.
I'm curious as well if this is the case. Regardless of the symbolism.In a FB forum, it was stated that only recently was the G adopted in Texas symbols. Previously, it was skull and crossbones. True?
My EC Lodge still uses the symbol. I think it means more to Lodges that use a Chamber of Reflection.I'd be interested in the answer to the question too. If we are laying bets, I'd say probably not true that the S&Q would be have the skull and crossbones in the 20th Century.... but maybe prior ?
@Bill Lins ?
It's a central (and probably universal) symbol in the Craft... but was it used instead of a G ?My EC Lodge still uses the symbol. I think it means more to Lodges that use a Chamber of Reflection.

CoR is not allowed in TX.
That's unfortunate. It's a powerful ceremony that makes a lasting impression on the candidate. But I am sure they have their reasons.
What is your obedience, my Brother?For us it is mostly found in jewelry and such. Since we meet old style without an official lodge building, rather on the upper floor of a private dinner club, we don't have any of the normal trappings you see around lodges today. For any ritual items used during meetings or degrees, we use what is termed a "Lodge in a box". Everything we need literally breaks down and fits in box the club stores for us. And the box serves as our altar.
