Only under the watchful eye of the palatial Initiator, are we allowed to step into the treasury of the Department of Symbol. Stored here are samples of the symbolic values of the ‘Masonic Lodge,’ the basic organisational unit of the Freemasonry. Freemasonry, like the typographic mason, continues to build on the mediaeval notions of the guild; through fraternity and shared rituals and beliefs. Traditionally it is the guild of the mason that in particular is involved in the construction of cathedrals and temples, wherein worldviews and beliefs circulate through symbolic representations. Likewise is the typographic mason, in the construction of communication, involved in the dissemination of ideas and perspectives.
