In this narrativeOaths and punishments
In this narrative, Freemasonry is a society blending Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and Kabbalah1.Its roots reach back to ancient Egypt or the Knights Templar1.The oath read at initiation includes language threatening bodily dismemberment for breaking secrecy1.This picture reads that oath as meaning members could actually be killed for breaking it1.Photos of British royals in Masonic dress are cited too1.It concludes that not all members are bad, but that some in the upper ranks abuse this knowledge1.
In this narrativeThe square and compass in corporate logos
Corporate logos for CBS, AOL, Google, and Columbia hide a square, a compass, and an eye shape1.Each logo is placed side by side with symbols from a Masonic encyclopedia1.An old illustration of an initiate posed as if being beheaded is cited alongside them1.This picture reads a corporate logo's incidental shape as a trace of the society.Its logic: if the symbol survives, the society's influence survives too.
In this narrativeA staircase climbing to the 33rd degree
Freemasonry's ranking system is explained through a "staircase" diagram1.Members pass through the three Blue Lodge degrees and climb to the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite1.33rd-degree member Manly P.Hall is quoted as saying a deeper brotherhood, like Skull and Bones, hides within Freemasonry1.This picture overlays the fact that water turns from ice to liquid at 32 to 33 degrees Fahrenheit onto the rank name "33rd degree"1.It holds that this 33 is the same number as the 33 vertebrae the Christ oil climbs1.Photos of royals, actors, and politicians exchanging a Masonic handshake are added as evidence1.
In this narrativeDistance from the Illuminati
Online writing often treats Freemasonry and the Illuminati as the same organization.But Freemasonry grew out of 16th- and 17th-century stonemason guilds1.The Illuminati was founded separately by Adam Weishaupt in 1776 and dissolved in 17841.The two organizations differ in founding purpose and timing1.The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an antisemitic forgery2.This site does not follow that branch.

- Illuminati →Above the 33rd degree, this leads into the claim of a deeper organization, the Illuminati.
- All-Seeing Eye →One of Freemasonry's symbols is the all-seeing eye.The society's story crosses into the eye symbol's story.
- The Number 33 →The rank name 33rd degree alone brings the society's number face to face with the body's number.
