eight
Number symbol of the Resurrection as it was on the eighth day after Christos entry into Jerusalem that he rose from the grave.

Winds of heaven.

A very old emblem, the Empress Theodora (A.D. 527) bore one on her crown. The coat of arms of ancient France (1179) was blue field sprinkled with fleur-de-lis. English kings later used the symbol on their coats of arms to emphasize their claims to the throne of France.

Due to its three "petals," the fleur-de-lis has also been used to represent the Holy Trinity.

Fleur-de-lis is also an emblem of royalty given to the Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven.

"Louis VII of France dreamed of irises before setting out on the Crusades in 1137 and considered them to be a sign, and therefore adopted the flower as his emblem. It became known in France as the Fleur de Louis. They were popularized in England by Edward III, although they were dropped as a national standard during the Napoleonic Wars. Adopted by Christianity as a symbol of the trinity." - Gus Tassara, "Plant Symbolism"
Trefoil Club or clover
symbol of perpetuity, with the three leaves representing the past, present and future. It is also sometimes a symbol of fertility and abundance
Triquetra
Ornament composed of three half circles or ellipses crossed and joined together at their ends

Ornament of three interlaced arcs or lobes or vesicae piscis, essentially triangular in shape.

Etymology: Latin: tri = 3; quetrus = cornered

Found in pagan Germanic and Celtic art. For pagans, the triquetra represents the threefold nature of the Goddess as virgin, mother and crone. It also symbolizes life, death, and rebirth and the three forces of nature: earth, air, and water.

In Christianity, a symbol of the Trinity.

Found in the Book of Kells


Some of the Best pictures inside Saunieres Library at the Tour Magdala
the Motif in the room is the Club or trefoil
the book shelves all have the Trefoil but it is in the style of a flower
with its leaves

http://www.belcaire-pyrenees.com/article-30143816.html
The trefoil is above and below
and the fireplace is there

Over the door of the spiral staircase there are three stones one must go under above and below

Rs what is your interpretation of this Scottish Rite door
I have mine but would be interested in your

the interesting symbol is this one



It reminds me of something

The trefoil was a sacred plant among the Druids of Ireland because its leaves formed a triad, three being a mystical number

It is the symbol for the goddess ....Tour Magdala
The Budded Cross
One bud can remind us of Aaron's staff that budded (see Num. 17) and was preserved in the Ark of the Covenant, showing that life can emerge from death and renewed life from difficult circumstances. Or like the buds of a flower representing a journey of growth in faith; flowers growing but not yet in bloom.

Where there are three buds, we are reminded of the teachings in 1 Cor. 13: "Faith, Hope, Love; The greatest of these is love."2




Synonymous with apostle is disciple. Both terms mean a follower of Christ and usually spelt with an initial capital letter when referring to one of the original twelve Disciples. Of course, discipleship is not restricted to those twelve men. In Matt. 16:24 we all have an invitation to be a disciple of Christ

How appropriate for the Tour Magdala motif
I think Sauniere had it right

The Druids number three
three primary measure-marks within the phases of the moon (new, half, full).

When Pythagoras arrived at Croton, his first advice to the Crotoniates was to build a shrine to the Muses at the center of the city, to promote civic harmony and learning.
Local cults of the Muses often became associated with springs or with fountains

Hermes Trismegistus, the Thrice Great Hermes,
“It was said that this god (Thoth) possessed all secret knowledge on 36,535 scrolls that were hidden under the heavenly vault (the sky) which could only be found by the worthy, who would use such knowledge for the benefit of mankind.”

36,535 rolls down to the number 22. The number of bones in the human skull, and number of chapters in the book of revelations.

It's not necessarily a Star of David....it's a hexagram, no big deal in Freemasonry, two triangles intertwined, representative if you like of opposites......night/day, good/evil, black/white, there's no specific dogma really.
And it's not a bell chum, it's a representation of a level, "..an instrument to lay levels and prove horizontals", as the ritual states in opening a Craft Lodge.
You should heed TCP's recent advice about knowing what you might be looking for before you jump to conclusions.

To remind Masons the level of time, we are dealing with time space relativity and so with the hypercube and Torus 4 D reality, so problably we need to go to a higher level of Masonry to understand why the level was made in a bell form, the normal distribution of Chaos and also sound molecule waves, which will remind the Mason time ends with the W axis spiral of time.

Level: A building tool similar to the plumb, the level measures the levelness of horizontal surfaces. It reminds Masons that they’re all living their lives upon the level of time.

THE LEVEL OF TIME

by William H. Sachs, 33ø

A passage from our ritual describing the working tools of a Fellowcraft Mason admonishes us ever to remember that "we are traveling upon the level of time to that undiscovered country from whose borne no traveler returns." The words are beautiful, the allegory striking, and the meaning deceptively clear even at first hearing. But those of us who truly search for more light quickly realize that the apparently simple statement is in fact much more complex than we think. There is hardly any problem with the word "level." Whoever has been involved with any part of the construction business knows the function of this instrument, whether in the ancient form of connected water columns, the later form based on a plumb line, or the now popular version of an air bubble floating in a liquid inside a transparent tube. We realize that a table is not level when things begin to roll or slide off it. And we are sure of what we are doing when we "level" with a friend, a neighbor, an opponent, or even with the I.R.S. The word "level" is unambiguous.

When we talk about time, however, it is a different story altogether. Any youngster over the age of 10 knows what time is, and yet very few of us can define or explain it. Even wise men differ in their answers. Some of them call it simply "the fourth dimension." If that is the best answer, perhaps we should update our beautiful staircase lecture in the Fellowcraft Degree and add time to the traditional dimensions of length, breadth, and thickness. Ask a physicist for a definition of time, and you may well elicit a lengthy discourse on Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. A philosopher, on the other hand, may tell you that time is basically a way to measure all changes and, more particularly, that change which we call life. Last, but not least, it has been stated, quite seriously, that time is nothing but an illusion.

Time itself, especially when we enter the years beyond middle age, often rivals quicksilver in the speed with which it runs through our fingers. But if we cannot catch it and cannot examine it--let alone define it with certainty--how can we derive wisdom from that mysterious "level of time"? Perhaps the time-honored old phrase of our Degree work expresses the complete integration of my time and your time into our time, and ultimately into all time--that basic property of the incredibly immense universe which is the material manifestation of its Creator.

Could it be that time is in fact that great equalizer of all human beings? If so, then in "the level of time" our ancient Brethren discovered a symbol, not only for the intrinsic equality of all men, but for the ephemeral character of our lives. As far as the human mind can see, time is the universal property of all creation, and it finds nothing anywhere which is timeless, except that Great Builder whom we respectfully acknowledge as the Grand Architect. Let us contemplate that fact, with awe, every time we hear of the "level of time."

Its no big deal?
The Hexagram has been known as the Seal of Solomon

Some researchers have theorized that the hexagram represents the astrological chart at the time of David's birth or anointment as king. The hexagram is also known as the "King's Star" in astrological circles.


dated 1008
oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible in Hebrew,

Six pointed stars have also been found in cosmological diagrams in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism
The Star of David is used in the seal and the emblem of the Theosophical Society (founded in 1875).

"The interlacing triangles or deltas symbolize the union of the two principles or forces, the active and passive, male and female, pervading the universe ... The two triangles, one white and the other black, interlacing, typify the mingling of apparent opposites in nature, darkness and light, error and truth, ignorance and wisdom, evil and good, throughout human life." – Albert G. Mackey: Encyclopedia of Freemasonry

The hexagram, one of the world's most ancient symbols, is featured within and on the outside of many Masonic temples as a decoration. It may have been found within the structures of King Solomon's temple, from which Freemasons are inspired in their philosophies and studies. Like many other symbols in Freemasonry, the deciphering of the hexagram is non-dogmatic and left to the interpretation of the individual.

Read my post Lov, "no big deal IN FREEMASONRY".
I then explained how it may be interpreted by Masons.
Your post adds to mine by giving examples of how other organisations name, view and explain (rather tenuously in one case) the device.
I was referring to Freemasonry only.
Funny language English, you actually have to understand it to understand what was intended.

In our hotel that evening, we met some interesting characters. One was an old Flemish guy who was convinced that he had discovered the origin of all indo-European languages, and that it was - guess what? - Old Flemish.

He’d discovered a book which is the oldest book ever written in Europe, and the title translates to "History of Atlant." He said that Atlant is the name of the place and that "Atlantis" really means "Atlantish" or somebody from Atlant. He showed us this book. There were indeed many recognizable words in there, and they were written in characters that were more than a little bit Runic.

We inquired as to the original meaning of the word "Cathari", and he explained that it was a conjunction of "cat" and "ari." "Ari", he told us, was the same as "Aryan", meaning "noble", "lofty one", "shining one." This much we know. So the Cathars were Aryans and Cats. Who then were the Cats? "Cats", he replied. "You know, cats." One of us made a meowing sound, almost as a joke. "Yes!", he exclaimed. "Cats, as in Catholic or Catalonia - cats!" The guy was totally brilliant, but who knows - he may well have been a nut.

lonia - the Ionian



Ionia


Ionia (Ancient Greek Ἰωνία or Ἰωνίη) is an ancient region of central coastal Anatolia in present-day Turkey, the region nearest İzmir, which was historically Smyrna. It consisted of the northernmost territories of the Ionian League of Greek settlements. Never a unified state, it was eponymously named after the Ionian tribe who in the Archaic Period (800–480 BC) settled mainly the shores and islands of the Aegean Sea. Ionian states were identified by tradition and by their use of Eastern Greek.

According to Greek tradition, the cities of Ionia were founded by colonists from the other side of the Aegean. Their settlement was connected with the legendary history of the Ionic people in Attica, which asserts that the colonists were led by Neleus and Androclus, sons of Codrus, the last king of Athens. In accordance with this view the "Ionic migration", as it was called by later chronologers, was dated by them one hundred and forty years after the Trojan war, or sixty years after the return of the Heracleidae into the Peloponnese.[1]

4 Cats - 1111 - Cat eye nebula in Draco Dragon constellation

Els Quatre Gats (Catalan pronunciation: [əɫs ˈkwatɾə ˈɣats], Catalan for "The Four Cats"), often written Els 4 Gats, was a café in Barcelona which opened on 12 June 1897. It also operated as a hostel, a cabaret, a pub and a restaurant. Active until 1903, Els Quatre Gats became one of the main centers of Modernisme in Barcelona. The artist Ramon Casas i Carbó largely financed this bar on the ground floor of Casa Martí (1896), a building by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch in Carrer Montsió near the center of Barcelona. Els Quatre Gats was reconstructed during the transition to democracy, in 1978. Pablo Picasso visited this pub–restaurant often in his early art career.


Other major artists who met in this cafe were Santiago Rusiñol i Prats, Miquel Utrillo as well as the sculptor Julio González.
Els Quatre Gats was the inheritor of a legacy of tertulias and art reunions specific to Barcelona, but also drew inspiration from the Parisian cabaret Le Chat Noir. Art exhibitions, literary and musical meetings, marionette shows and shadow plays also took place there.


Casas and Romeu.

Ramon Casas' partners in the enterprise were Pere Romeu, who largely played host at the bar, as well as Rusiñol and Miquel Utrillo. The bar hosted revolving art exhibits, including one of the first one-man shows by Pablo Picasso; the most prominent piece in its permanent collection was a lighthearted Casas self-portrait, depicting him smoking a pipe while pedaling a tandem bicycle with Romeu as his stoker.

Aragon coat of Arms is the dragon


Coat of Arms of Valencia
The Cuélebre, or Culebre, is a giant winged serpent in the mythology of Asturias and Cantabria, in the north of Spain. It usually lives in a cave, guards treasures and keeps nymph-like beings called xanas or anjanas as prisoners. They are immortal, but grow old. They can be tricked in particular ways, especially on certain days.


Herensuge is the name given to the dragon in Basque mythology, meaning apparently the "last serpent". The best known legend has St. Michael descending from Heaven to kill it but only once God agreed to accompany him in person. Sugaar, the Basque male god, is often associated with the serpent or dragon but able to take other forms as well. His name can be read as "male serpent"

Dragons are well known in Catalan myths and legends, in no small part because St. George (Catalan Sant Jordi) is the patron saint of Catalonia. Like most dragons, the Catalan dragon (Catalan drac) is an enormous serpent with two legs, or, rarely, four, and sometimes a pair of wings. As in many other parts of the world, the dragon's face may be like that of some other animal, such as a lion or bull. As is common elsewhere, Catalan dragons are fire-breathers, and the dragon-fire is all-consuming. Catalan dragons also can emit a fetid odor, which can rot away anything it touches. The Catalans also distinguish a víbria or vibra (cognate with English viper and wyvern), a female dragon with two prominent breasts, two claws and an eagle's beak.

Henry Richardson Labouisse, Jr.

He was born to Henry Richardson, Sr., and Frances Devereux (Huger) Richardson, an Anglican of Louisiana (hence his Francophone last name). He married Elizabeth Scriven Clark on June 29, 1935. He married Ève Curie, nine years after Clark died, in 1954. The marriage with Ève has made him the son-in-law to Marie and Pierre Curie, Chemistry Nobel Prize winner.[2] In 1965, he accepted on behalf of UNICEF the Nobel Prize for Peace and become one of the five Nobel Prize winners of the Curie family
