But apparently, this "Worshipful master" is the primary factor. And this makes the "Sun" more of a secondary or tertiary factor.
As the Sun rules the day and the Moon governs the night, so should the Worshipful Master with equal regularity endeavor to rule and govern the lodge
Is this "Worshipful Master" the primary concern of Masonry? And the "Sun" is merely a secondary (or tertiary) concern?

What if I take a picture on my brother's wedding and post it here saying " look guys 12 candles, square windows, chequered floor...this has got to be a masonic message.
I don't wanna offend anyone, but 5 pages of hypothesis about a wedding picture makes me wonder.

See if I got a tattoo of a swastika, you would think it "means something" about me and my beliefs.

Thanks for answering that question, as it is difficult to gather any information about Masonry these days.
There are virtually 1000 different theories or points of view.
And the fact that Masons keep secrets, only makes it worse.
But thank you for explaining your terminology to us, but I might suggest instead of calling them "worshipful master" you may want to use the term "Lodge master" or "Lodge manager" instead.
See , using terms like "worshipful master" to the uninitiated only leads us to spurious speculations and fanciful assumptions.
You have to understand that Masonry almost appears to be purposely making it difficult for outsiders to understand.
