VIII. The Three Masters. Seventh Degree.
The last and final or Seventh Degree is that of a Grand-
Master, of which there are three. These correspond in some
measure to the Speculative Grand Master, Pro Grand Mas-
ter, and Deputy Grand Master; or perhaps more nearly tO'
the Three Principals in the Speculative Arch Degree. They
represent Solomon, King of Israel ; Hiram, King of Tyre ;
and Hiram Abiiif. On being admitted to this Degree each
Master is led round the Lodge seven times.
The First and Second Grand Masters hold office for life
or until superannuated.
The Third Grand Master is ritually slain on the 2nd of
October, and a fresh one is appointed every year.
The Secrets of the Three Grand Masters are the 3, 4, 5,
Triangle, the laying out of Rectangular Buildings on the
Five Point System, the Swastika, the Polar Star, and the
worship of the Most High, whom they venerate under his.
Hebrew name of El Shaddai. This name "El Shaddai" is.
the great word of the VIIth Degree.
These secrets of the Masters have been described by me
in another paper and they still further support the opinion.
I have endeavoured to maintain in these articles. One of the
most remarkable facts about these secrets is that the VII
Degree Operative Free Masons are taught that the Polar
Star is the real seat of the power of the Most High and that
the Swastika is his symbol and the emblem of the Pole Star.
This is esoteric teaching which has long perished in Europe
and is now only to be found in India, China, Japan and in
the A'alley of the Euphrates. It is ridiculous to pretend that
a body holding such doctrines can have emanated from a
modern Society founded in 1717 or thereabouts.
