Sandra and I were lucky enough to catch a few glimpses of the event through the clouds. It was worth every minute of lost sleep.
Last Monday night was a very important night at our lodge.
The night of the Total Lunar Eclipse held some very important allegorical connections at Sugar Land Masonic Lodge and the number 3. This is a bit of what I discussed at the Lodge.
1) It was December Stated Meeting
2) It was the night that we voted to institute our pet project of a 501C
3 corporation. (3 being a key number) This project has been the accumulation of many, many brothers, working diligently on this project for over 5 years.
3) It was the exact 3rd anniversary of me being raised as a MM.
4) It was the exact 90th Anniversary of the founding of our Lodge (9 being 3, 3 times)
5) It was the night in which 3 Heavenly bodies were in perfect alignment.
a) The Sun in all of this, represents the Golden Rule being golden in color; to remind us of that important rule of charity.
b) The Earth in this is representative of the Earthly realm in which we are to conduct our labors.
c) And the Moon representative of our Will; for it is on the Tarot, that great symbology, in which the High Priestess sits between the pillars B&J, with a moon resting upon her brow denoting thought.
d) The shadow of the Earth, cast by the Sun, resting on the Moon.
6) And it was the beginning of the birth of the Sun, being Winter Solstice.
It was a night in which I will never forget.
