Knock Knock
This is a door knocker found on one of the doors leading into the lodge room I showed you in yesterday's post of the Masonic temple. Apparently most lodge rooms have double doors to stop eavesdropping and to gain entry one must perform a complex series of knocks which are responded to by a similar knocker on the other side of the doors. The "G" is a prominent Masonic symbol that represents the "Great Architect" or "Grand Geometrician".

Such interesting info on these beautiful knockers.
Very secretive stuff then
Do you think the secret knock is "Shave and a haircut, two bits"? Fine looking graphic design.
How mysterious!
secrets, secrets and more secrets!
Interesting. Although I generally find it off that people want to be part of a "secret society".
I love this detail shot.
It would be just like me to forget how the secret knock went. Especially if they changed it often.
"Dang, I didn't want to go in anyway."
Isn't it all hush-hush... :-)
Curiouser and curiouser!
I wonder why so secretive!
It is an unexpected six-pointed star symbol.
Looks like a strong knocker.
Intriguing stuff!
Wonder if the symbolism means something different to the 'members' :)
I love it. Great detail!!!
