1. THESATOR SQUARE
The Sator Square is a word square of five Latin words, each containing five letters, set out in
a palindrome-like style, with the goal that words can be perused left to right, appropriate to
left, or even through and through and base to beat. The most punctual record of this was
found in the destroyed Roman city of Pompeii under the fiery debris from Mount Vesuvius,
which ejected in 79 AD. Presently, I don't wish to propose that Freemasonry goes back to this
period, or that this gadget is Masonic. All I am stating (as a Mason) is that this outline could
be seen and utilized easily by Masons. The reason I recommend this is because of the general
interpretation of each word: Sator gets from the Latin serene, signifying 'to sow', and shows
somebody who sows seeds, additionally an originator, an ancestor (typically in the perfect
sense).
This reference to a heavenly "originator" is an establishment stone of Freemasonry, as the
whole structure is fixated on a Divine Creator, a Grand Architect. The reference to a sower of
seeds highlights this idea, and additionally the sense in which Freemasons take a gander at
Sacred Texts just like the seeds of learning from the celestial. Arepo is an "obscure" word,
however it is regularly identified with the Latin word arrepo, a subordinate of 'promotion
repo', which signifies 'I crawl towards'. Once more, it is circumspectly conceivable to see a
Masonic reference here, as the Craft ceremonies of Freemasonry are expected to speak to the
entry of life from birth to death. Subsequently, this reference to 'crawling along' could mirror
the thought of life and the Masonic direction to be careful of our activities because of death.
Furthermore, the physical part of 'crawling', albeit practically vile in our cutting edge terms,
still suggests the normal thought for being 'stealthy/hidden', words which have been utilized
to portray Freemasonry in culture. Precept originates from the Latin word tenure, which
signifies 'to hold', additionally 'to keep', 'to understand', 'to ace' and 'to safeguard'. So a
significant number of these words could appear to be regular in a Mason's talk. We are shown
that we should comprehend and, actually, "grasp" the significance of our ceremonies and the
mystery puzzles of nature and science. We endeavour to be Masters of this and to hold, keep
and save these understandings and structures. Consequently, "fundamental" shows up a
flawless Masonic word.
