be necessary, it may be found in the Ancient
Mexican Calendar,
in the form of the Swastika.
On each arm of this is the name of the four
Brothers of Horus, who were the four Supports
of Heaven, when first depicted in the form of a
Square, in Primary Solar Cult, or when Heaven
was first divided into four quarters by our old
Brothers, who were the Astro-Mythologists
of old
Egypt.
Another form of the Swastika which is found in
many countries, India and Cornwall especially, is
Fig. 60, which is another portrayal of the form
we find in Mexico. The four lines or uprights,
having the same length as each arm, represent the
four supports, or Brothers of Horus, as the four
supports of the four quarters, which proves the
truth of this decipherment.
This Triangle, then, with the Swastika in the
centre is a Symbol for Horus, God of the Four
Quarters, or God of the Double Horizon, and has
nothing to do with the symbolism
of God of the
North Pole, or of axial rotation, as the Operative
Masons explain. I have brought forward some
existing proofs which cannot, I think, leave any
doubt in your minds. I have explained this
Symbol fully, because it is so frequently found in
Wales, which was one of the last places, if not the
last place, where the Druids existed in these Isles,
