The Arcana of Freemasonry (1915) - The Masonic Trowel

THE ARCANA OF FREEMASONRY 243
Brothers of this degree do not know it, here is
the original, and I now restore it to them. In the
centre there is a square representing Heaven as
a Square, with Horus as Amsu, or the risen Horus
as God of the four quarters, as the central figure.
Surrounding this figure there are the four supports
represented by four Trees, one in each " arm,"
and in each one of these arms is one of the four
Brothers of Horus, with his Consort supporting
in Sign Language. Between each " arm " there
is a
'
loop " at the ; upper part of the " loop "
is the name or Zootype form, or Symbol, for
the name of each Brother. The Symbol is placed
in the centre of the body of a bird (Eagle), proving
this to be an " attribute " of the God Horus.
All are looking at the central figure, i.e. Horus
as Amsu in Spirit, the Risen Christ, as the
Christians would say.
In Sign Language we have here typically por-
trayed the risen Horus and his four Brothers, the
latter as supporters of the Four Cardinal Points
representing the attributes of Horus supporting
the new Heaven founded on his second advent or
resurrection.
Again, this is depicted by a bird (Eagle—Symbol
for Horus) on the top of each Tree or Pillar,
which is supported as here portrayed with the
Brothers and their Consorts, an original "Stellar"
form taken alone.
