| THE NUMBER THREE | |
| The number Three is one of the most important numbers in Masonic symbolism. | |
| I would like to address just one (for now) aspect of it’s meaning. | |
| In the lecture of the Second Degree, we say that Masonry is divided into Two sections – Operative and Speculative. I would submit that in adopting a symbolic approach to teaching, and the inclusion of so many symbols into our Craft, it is really Three parts (like the 24” gauge). Operative, Speculative and Applied. |
